Assist mode
You can select a SHIMANO STePS assist mode for each particular application.
HIGH
NORMAL
ECO
Use when powerful assistance is
required, such as when riding up steep
uphill slopes.
Use when an intermediate level of
assistance is needed, such as when you
want to enjoy riding comfortably on a
gentle slope or level ground.
Use when you want to enjoy long
distance riding on level ground. When
pedaling is not very strong, the
amount of assistance is reduced and
energy consumption is lessened.
When the battery level is running low, the level of assistance is lowered to increase the traveling range.
OFF
This mode does not provide power assistance when the power is turned on. Since there is no power consumption
associated with the power assistance, it is useful for reducing battery consumption when the battery is running low.
WALK
This mode is particularly useful when you walk the bicycle with heavy baggage on it or walk it out of a basement.
