Important notes
•
When mounting the bike or moving the bike, ensure the display is switched off or in "0" power-assistance mode
•
If you need the trike to stay stationary, use the brake lock feature on the left-hand brake lever
•
If you wish to use the blue PAS button to move the trike without pedalling up to 6 km/hr, please make sure that
you are prepared and have space for the trike to move forwards
•
Familiarise yourself with the operation of the power-assist feature.
Using the Display
Before riding ensure you are familiar with the operation of the display:
•
Switch the battery on then press the top button on the display it will then be operational
•
Speed settings using MODE are low-med-high
•
When the power assistance is off, the e-trike is ridden in mechanical mode
•
When PAS is turned on, low setting offers lowest speed assistance increasing through medium to high
•
We suggest moderating the use of the PAS subject to conditions
•
The braking system on this electric tricycle has a motor cut out feature
•
Pedal the tricycle to engage the pedal assistance system
•
When mounting the bike or moving the bike, ensure the display is switched off
Operation tips
Give yourself time to become accustomed to riding your trike. We recommended starting by simply pedalling around
and get the hang of steering, stopping (using your brakes) and negotiating your way through some obstacles which can
be a challenge at first, given the width behind you.
Tricycles will always want to follow road camber, so they generally
give the impression of pulling to the left. You will get used to this.
Changing gears:
This can be done while stationary or pedalling as long as you pause pedal pressure to allow the gears to shift. 1 is the
easy gear for slow speed and steep inclines. 3 is the high gear for travelling at speed on flat or downhill terrain. 2 is the
moderate gears for riding at medium speed. The gears are there to match the needs of the rider, speed and terrain.
Using the gear selector is easy. To change gears, twist the inner grip and view the number in the window on the selector.
Using the electrics:
Switch the battery on then switch the display. Select your preferred assistance level using the plus or minus buttons.
There are three levels, so if you are new to this, start by using low assistance. Electric assistance commences when you
pedal and ceases when you stop pedalling or when the brakes are applied. Assistance can be changed while you ride by
pressing the green MODE button to increase your speed. If you feel that the e-trike is going faster than your comfort
level, apply the brakes. This cancels the power to the motor and applies the brakes at the same time. Cycle through the
power settings until lower and resume pedalling.
