Newer Mahle X35 e-bikes, particularly those from Model Year 2020 onwards, have ANT+ connectivity from the factory. This allows for the visualization of e-bike system data on compatible head units like the OC ANT+ LEV display.

Answer of Alan

I have an X35 motor bike and an X20. The Pulsar one pairs seamlessly with both systems. It also recognises both type of extension battery, showing the charge level of both bike and external battery, and the combined range. It’s a superb bit of kit.

Answer of Andrew

Is it possible there is a source of local radio interference that is disrupting the Bluetooth pairing? Do you have a lot of Bluetooth devices at home? If you haven't tried it, how about taking one of your bikes away from home and have a go at pairing there.

I find this a really useful item on my Lapierre ebike which is fitted with a Mahle X35 hub motor. It's been fine with this set up but I cannot confirm about any other set ups. Good luck.

Answer of Andrew

Assuming you can: - see power levels change on the pulsar when you change them via the iwoc - feel power levels change when you change them via the pulsar Your device is correctly connected to the bike. Try downloading the Mahle smartbike app and connect it to your bike. If it shows the speed correctly, there's some kind of fault in the Pulsar. Remove the battery and reconnect it; if that doesn't work, report a fault. If the smartbike app doesn't show speed either, the probability is a faulty speed sensor on the bike (not uncommon). Take it to an Orbea service agent.

Answer of Andrew

Your manufacturer is irrelevant. What matters is the X35 motor. The Pulsar One works with X35 and X35+ motors.

Answer of Angelo

I really don´t think so because the "salsa confluence ebike" ebike mounts a Bosh engine and therefore works with a different system from the Mahle engine for which the pulsarOne was made. Maybe it´s better to ask the seller of "salsa confluence ebike" also because surely that type of bike has a dedicated computer/controller.

Credo proprio di no perchè la ebike "salsa confluence ebike" monta un motore Bosh e quindi funziona con un sistema diverso dal motore Mahle per il quale il pulsarOne è stato realizzato. Forse è meglio chiedere al venditore di "salsa confluence ebike" anche perchè sicuramente quel tipo di bici ha un computer/controller dedicato.

Answer of Alan

I bought one of these and it has worked fine with my Mahle motor on a Lapierre road ebike. I not familiar with the motor on your designated bike. I'm not sure about the technical spec on your Salsa bike. Sorry. Good luck.

Answer of Andrew

I'm sure Mahler would have advertised the feature if it had it. It's not in the 'manual' either. So, sorry, no. Andy

Answer of Andrew

It's the controller that counts, not the bike. So, the Pulsar is compatible with any X35-equipped bike.

Yes. The number under 'Mod' is the current level. You change level with the left and right buttons below the screen.

Answer of Alan

I bought this to fit on my 2022 La Pierre E-sensium bike that is equipped with the Mahle motor system. It works perfectly for me and I'm pleased I bought it. I may even buy a second to fit on my 2020 Cannondale Neo road bike which also has the Mahle system.

Answer of Mario

I don´t know about the Sigma bar, but keep in mind that the Pulsar mount is compatible with the Garmin, Bryton mount, so where these go there will also be the Pulsar.

Non conosco la barra Sigma, na tieni presente che l'attacco del Pulsar è compatibile con l'attacco Garmin, Bryton, perciò dove vanno questi ci sta anche il Pulsar.

The screen is small, 2.1 inches. Ant+ accessories can be connected, such as a HR monitor.

Answer of Andrew

It gives a continuous read-out provided it can connect to the bike's control system so, as long as there's some charge in the battery and the system is switched on. It doesn't matter if you have opted to use the zero power assistance. If the bike is switched off, however, it cannot show much useful information since speed and distance, for example, come from counting wheel rotations.

Answer of Benedikt

The computer works via a separate on/off switch and can be used to completely switch it off while riding. Otherwise, as soon as the bike is activated, it is connected to it and shows the selected level of support, even if level 0 has been selected.

Der Computer funktioniert über einen separaten Ein-/Ausschalter ,und kann über diesen während der Fahrt auch komplett ausgeschaltet werden Ansonsten ist er, sobald das Fahrrad aktiviert wurde, mit diesem verbunden und zeigt die gewählte Unterstützung an. Auch, wenn Stufe 0 ausgewählt wurde.

Answer of Mario

If you ride with the bike engine off, the computer works but only reads the speed and heart rate.

Se guidi col motore della bici spento, il computer funziona ma si legge solo la velocità e il cardio.
