Press
to turn on the bicycle
After pressing ‘Power’, all ten meter lights will flash in se

quence, indicating that the bike is ready to ride.
To turn the bicycle off, hold the 'ON/OFF' button for about
3 seconds.
E3Ultra:
Do not put any pressure on the pedals during startup.
Doing so may affect the pedal-force sensor calibration (the
pedal-force sensor’s zero-point is re-calibrated each and
every time the power is turned on).
The BATTERY lights display remaining
charge
The meter box has five battery level indicators. The bat

tery pack reports state-of-charge (SoC) information to
the controller and the meter box uses this information to
display the battery level with high accuracy.
When the battery is depleted to the point of automatic
shutoff, the lowest gauge light will blink indicating the need
to recharge immediately. Of course, the bicycle can still be
ridden with the system turned off.
PAS Mode:
the ‘-’ and ‘+’ buttons control
motor assist power
PAS mode provides three levels of assist. You can choose
between them by pressing the ‘+’ and ‘-’ buttons. Each
increasing level of assist gives more motor power, but
decreases overall range. The system defaults to assist
level 2 at startup. Regardless of the mode setting, the
The amount of pedal pressure and the amount of motor assist are proportional;
harder pedaling will result in the motor providing more assistance. The throttle
acts as a “boost” once the bike is rolling, and overrides the pedal sensor when
applied.
TAG Mode
In TAG mode, the pedal sensor (E3Metro) or pressure sensor (E3Ultra) used for
PAS mode operation is disabled, and the bike responds only to throttle input. Just
twist the throttle to apply 0-100% of motor power. The ‘-’ and ‘+’ buttons are not
used in this mode.
throttle is always able to provide 100% power.
E3Metro:
The motor will activate when the system senses the rider pedaling.
It is not possible to activate the motor without turning the cranks.
The throttle can act as a “boost” once the bike is rolling, but if
crank movement is discontinued, power will drop away within 1-2
seconds with or without throttle use.
E3Ultra:
The motor will activate when the system senses the rider applying
pressure to the cranks. It is not possible to activate the motor
otherwise in PAS mode. Also the bicycle must be rolling forward at
about 3km/h before the motor will activate. This safety feature is
intended to prevent unintentional acceleration.
