the level of assistance by one level. This works both
ways, depending on which of the buttons you press.
If you cannot feel any assistance, simply backpedal
briefly and then pedal forwards again to trigger the
system check. If there is still no assistance being
delivered, the instruction “Please move the pedals”
will continue to be displayed. In this case you should
consult your specialist bike shop.
