b) Adjusting the motor power
With the two keys "+" and "-" you can set how strong the motor will support. The selected support
level is shown in the top line of the display:
After switching on, the assistance level is always set to "0". This means that the motor is still off and
the BEN-E-BIKE drives like a normal bike. Remember that a BEN-E-BIKE can be pedalled more easily
than most children's bicycles, even without motor support. So you do not always have to choose one
of the levels 1 - 5 to drive fast enough!
Now choose an appropriate support level depending on the path conditions. Here are some tips on
which level is best for each situation:
•
levels "0" and "1" are perfect for driving in the plane
•
levels "2" and "3" are suitable for light to medium ascents or strong headwind
•
level "4" should be sufficient even for steep ascents.
•
the highest level "5" is only recommended for extreme "off-road" ascents.
Note: with our PC software, the strength of each support level can be customized!
Always remember that the higher the motor assistance level is set, the quicker the battery will be
discharged. So, if your child drives for comfort only at the highest level "5", the battery is discharged
very quickly.
