Note
: The electrical system of your eFlow bicycle allows for
gradual application of power, and allows for adjustment of
power between OFF and FULL. This feature enables you to set
the speed at which you are most comfortable.
Note
: The electrical system of your eFlow bicycle will provide
instantaneous power whether you are pedaling or not.
Therefore, there is no need to pedal as you start-up. However,
the motor consumes more power during a start from a stop than
at any other time. More power is consumed during start-up
than even climbing a steep hill. Therefore, in order to conserve
battery power and increase your overall range, pedal from a
stop to relieve some of the load from the battery then use the
throttle.
Note
: Remember that there are power cut-off switches
embedded in the brake levers. When you apply the brakes,
power to the motor will turn “OFF”. Therefore, do not hold the
brake lever(s) when you want the motor to run.
Gears and Shifting
o
Your Currie Tech eFlow features a 10-speed rear
derailleur. The derailleur control is a SRAM 10-speed
“trigger” style shifter . You normally use your index
finger and thumb to up- and downshift the derailleur,
respectively .
o
To up-shift (makes pedaling harder but you go faster for
a specific pedal speed), pull the top lever of the shifter
with your index finger
toward
you . The rear derailleur will
shift the drive chain to a smaller diameter sprocket on
the freewheel, resulting in a higher gear .
o
To downshift (makes pedaling easier to accelerate
and climb hills, but you go slower for a specific pedal
speed), push the bottom lever with your thumb
away
from you . The derailleur will shift the drive chain to a
larger diameter sprocket on the freewheel, resulting in a
lower gear .
