Pedal Assist
7.1
Information about pedal assistance
The EMQ e-bike provides pedal assistance. This means that the motor is an addition to your own physical effort.
You have to move the pedals to activate the motor. If the pedals don't move, the engine won't start either. You
can easily determine the level of pedal assistance yourself on the display.
When the electronic pedal assistance is switched on (see 5.2 Operating the display), the bicycle starts up
differently than without pedal assistance. You pull up much faster and easier. Take the time to slowly discover and
get used to this new way of pulling up. We recommend that you start cycling WITHOUT pedal assistance, and
activate it while cycling.
The pedal assistance is limited to a speed of 28 kilometers per hour.
The range of the bicycle depends on the riding conditions. All kinds of factors influence the range: possible slopes,
the tire pressure, the weight of the cyclist, the number of times you brake and accelerate, headwind or tailwind,
the outside temperature.
7.2
Precautionary measures
When you ride the EMQ e-bike for the first time, pull up WITHOUT pedal assistance. Only turn this on
when you are already cycling. This is how you get used to the pedal support carefully
Important: before dismounting, turn off the support.
See also 5.2. Operate the display. Switching off the support prevents the motor from being activated
unintentionally during or after dismounting.
