This article will explain how to properly set up and operate the wireless CLiQ Pure controller.
Why use a CLiQ controller
With a controller, you can adjust the preferred cadence in automatic mode (recommended) or use simulated gears (1 to 9) in manual mode.
How to pair to the Automatic
Pairing instructions
- Power on your drive system.
- On the Automatic interface, push and hold the white button for ~3 seconds until it starts blinking blue, indicating that the interface is in pairing mode.
- Turn on the controller, and press and hold the power button (C) until it starts blinking a red-green LED, indicating that the controller is in pairing mode.
- If the controller doesn't turn on and needs a battery, use a coin and insert a CR2032.
- The CliQ Plus should now pair with the Automatic interface.
- When the controller LED starts blinking green only, then it's paired.
- If the controller LED is still blinking red-green, then it's not connected and still searching for a connection.
Functionality
Operation mode
You can change between AUTO and MANUAL shifting via the Enviolo app.
- AUTO – the Enviolo Automatic will intelligently adjust the cadence to the ride. This sets the CliQ controller, or integrated system (e.g. BOSCH), to adjust the preferred cadence.
- MANUAL – the Enviolo Automatic interface will emulate a 9-speed gear hub. This sets the CliQ controller, or integrated system, to change cadence manually by emulating 9 gears.
Download the Enviolo app
- Android 8 or higher - Download from Google Play Store
- iOS 13 or higher - Download from Apple App Store

The Enviolo Automatic works best in AUTO mode
The Enviolo Automatic is an intelligent set-and-forget system – simply set your preferred cadence (pedalling pace), and the interface automatically adjusts to the rider's conditions. When you set the Enviolo Automatic to AUTO mode, you can use the CliQ controller to adjust the preferred cadence.

Calibration
When to calibrate
Auto calibration
Auto calibration is the best way to calibrate the Enviolo Automatic – available since firmware version R48 and V10. To update your firmware, see: How to update the Enviolo Automatic with the latest firmware version
Auto calibration keeps the system optimized
If your system is up to date – latest app and firmware – the Enviolo Automatic will passively calibrate while riding. It is the best way to keep your system optimised.
Step-by-step instructions
- Power on the drive system and select no motor assist.
- Press and hold the power button (C) on the controller for 5 seconds until the hub begins shifting, and then release the button.
- Pedal the e-bike lightly through the entire calibration process (preferably on a stand with the rear wheel off the ground) while the system shifts from full underdrive to full overdrive multiple times and completes the calibration process. This process can take ~12 seconds.
