2.3 Throttle
The accelerator can be used once the E-bike is switched on. You ‘open
the throttle’ by rotating the accelerator toward you. For the first use, try out
the accelerator carefully to become accustomed with the power that the
accelerator gives. Use of the throttle at low speed costs a lot of energy.
This affects the range of the E-bike. The accelerator provides extra
assistance and can be used in the following ways.
Extra assistance when you are walking alongside your bike
When, for example, you are getting your bike out of a basement, the throttle
can give you additional assistance so that you don’t have to use strength
alone to push it up the ramp.
Extra pedal assistance when starting
You can use the throttle when you set off. The throttle will boost, without
pedalling, up to a speed of 3 km/hour. After that you have to pedal to get
assistance.
Extra pedal assistance while riding
The throttle can give an extra boost to the pedal assistance as you ride.
This is useful when you want to overtake someone or if you have to ride
up an incline. You can feel the boost most strongly at a low level of pedal
assistance.
