PEDAL ASSIST SYSTEM (PAS)
A pedal assistance feature is a powerful option, and users must understand how to operate it before the first ride.
ONYX offers 5 levels of cadence PAS. The cadence sensor is attached to the bottom bracket behind the pedal crank arm.
Switching from level 0 to 1 activates the pedal assist sensor. As soon as the pedals start rotating (PAS level 1-5), the sensor
catches the signal and turns on the motor to provide a cyclist with an appropriate amount of power. The higher the level of
PAS, the more power it provides. The electric motor can assist up to 25 mph and cuts out if pedaling faster than that.
Squeezing the brake levers will automatically cut the power to the motor.
It is recommended to pedal the bicycle with the PAS mode ON, choose appropriate gear, refrain from unnecessary braking,
and coast as much as possible. When riding downhill, do not turn the power off, otherwise, the controller and motor can be
damaged. As a precaution, switch the PAS level to 0 or turn off the LCD after riding to avoid accidental activating of the
throttle or PAS.
BATTERY & CHARGER
BATTERY
ONYX Sports Class Commuter is delivered with the battery pre-installed inside the frame and partially charged. A charger is
shipped in a separate box. A unique set of keys is provided. A lock keeps the battery in place and provides safety from theft.
Before each ride, make sure that the battery is properly seated against its housing connector base, locked, and charged.
To check the level of battery charge, use the charge indicator on the LCD screen when it is turned ON. The battery is
removable and can be charged either inside or outside of the frame.
To charge the battery when it remains installed in the frame, open a side rubber cover on the right side of the frame to
access the charging port.
To remove the battery, insert the key into the lock on the left side of the bike frame. Turn the key counter-clockwise. Locate
a safety tab above the battery; press the tab gently to the left while preparing to catch the battery as it falls out.
To reinstall the battery, slide the bottom portion of the battery into the housing base. Push the top portion of the battery up
into the frame until it clicks in place. Turn the key clockwise to secure the battery and protect it from theft.
NOTE: The keys provided are used to lock and unlock the battery. Turning the key DOES NOT act as an ignition for the
battery or motor. Please, keep in mind that e-JOE does not carry copies of the keys. It is recommended to store one key in
a safe location in case the first key is misplaced or lost.
BATTERY CHARGER
Always use the charger provided by e-JOE for your specific bicycle and battery type. If you plan on moving from the USA,
double-check the charger specifications and the local standards.
