throttle to work.
Brake cut-off switches are built into the brake levers so that power to the motor is
turned off when either brake is applied. This is a safety feature.
BEST PERFORMANCE
FROM YOUR EVELO ELECTRIC BICYCLE
ACHIEVING THE
One of the special features of your new bicycle is its mid-drive motor. This design allows
the motor, as well as the rider, to take advantage of gear changes in the shifting system,
improving efficiency. To get the most out of the mid-drive motor, you need to shift the
gears.
In general, when starting from a dead stop, you should be in a low gear. On NuVinci®
— equipped bikes, the orange cyclist on the shifter should appear to be riding up a hill.
As the bike gains speed, progressively shift up through the gears. For the NuVinci®,
twist the grip so that the orange hill gradually flattens out.
If you encounter a hill, shift back down into lower gears. You should also shift to lower
gears as you approach a stop, so you are already in the proper gear when you start again.
THE MID-DRIVE MOTOR
RANGE
Travelling as far as possible on a single battery charge is dependent upon many
variables. Some ways to maximize range include:
•
Contribute by pedaling;
•
Select the lower pedal-assist settings;
