FAQ
.
How many gears does the ebike have and why does it have gears if it is electric?
The ebike has a thumb shift Shimano 7-speed gearing system. We find that users rarely change gears because the electric
motor takes away all the strain, but it is still useful to have gears whenever you decide to pedal while cruising, or trying to
get more exercise, or extend your range. The combination of gearing, and the 5 levels of variable pedal assist power from the
motor means that you can always find the most efficient gear and pedal power level to be able to go the distance.
Is there a power usage or battery gauge on the bike?
Yes, there is a full screen LCD display. There is also an additional LED battery gauge on the battery pack. 2x the info!
Is there a switch to prevent accidental starting?
Yes, there is an on / off button on the battery pack. The brake levers also come standard with a safety power cut-off switch
How do I lock it up and what can I do to help minimize the chance of it being stolen?
The ebike has some great anti-theft features including a locking battery pack that can either be locked onto the frame or
removed and brought inside for charging and safe-keeping. The rear wheel is bolted down to the dropouts to reduce
the chances of a thief stealing the wheel from the bike. Most standard U-locks and cable locks work fine to secure the ebike.
We recommend using the strongest possible lock you can get when securing your ebike investment.
Does it work in the rain?
The components are all water resistant and work very well in wet conditions, but you should take care to keep your bike
parked indoors whenever possible and in a dry location when in storage. The display, motor, battery pack, and throttle are
all designed to operate just fine in heavy rain, normal drizzle, or a soggy wet morning commute in Vancouver, but you should
always take care to dry off your bike and to store it properly between use. Bafang motor & display are IP65 waterproof rated.
built in to shut down the motor when any braking is applied.
