Figure C3:

The

thumb throttle (9)

is located on the right hand side of the

handlebar, next to the

handle-grip (10)

. Not all models have a throttle.

By default the throttle is NOT connected and therefore DOES NOT work.
Refer to the relevant section in this manual how to connect the throttle.

To use the throttle to accelerate the bike, push the

thumb lever (9)

down in the direction of the arrow using your thumb. The acceleration is
gradual: Push down only a little bit for moderate acceleration. Push it
down all the way for maximum acceleration.

WARNING:

Do not use

throttle when turning. Accelerate slowly. Ride carefully.

WARNING:

Take care not to activate the throttle accidentally as the

motor will accelerate potentially causing injury. Switch the bike OFF if

you’re

pushing it. Always be ready to press the

brake lever (11)

to stop

the bike in case of accidental acceleration.

OPERATION OF YOUR ELECTRIC BIKE

Your e-bike is driven by a motor embedded in the hub (centre) of the front wheel. The motor is powered by a
battery. The amount of power delivered to the motor, and hence the accelerating force on the e-bike, is controlled
by you.

There are two systems to activate the motor: 6km/h button (press and hold

button (3), Figure C2

) and Pedal Assist.

By default the throttle is NOT connected and therefore DOES NOT work. Refer to the relevant section in this manual
how to connect the throttle. The throttle must not be used on public roads.

In Pedal Assist mode, the motor is triggered when you pedal forward, and power assist will stop when you stop
pedaling. In other words, power assist happens as long as you pedal. You

don’t

need to pedal hard. All you need is

to apply a light force to the pedals continuously to maintain continuous rotation. When you apply one of the brakes,
power-assist will automatically stop, allowing the e-bike to slow down or stop. Power assist will turn itself off before
the e-bike has reached the maximum speed of approximately 25 km/h

Note that the Battery level indicators on the display (Figure C2, 5) will only show an estimate of the battery charge
level when power is not being drawn from the battery (bike standing still). While using motor assistance voltage will
decrease.

The LCD display panel (Figure C2)

controls a number of features

on your ebike.

WARNING!

Only switch Pedal assist ON if you intend to ride the

bike and if there is enough space in front of the bike. Do not
pedal when turning! Always switch bike and Pedal assist OFF
when walking next to bike and pushing the bike to prevent
accidental acceleration. Always be ready to press the

brake

lever

to stop the bike. Do not use pedal assist in tight situations.

The bike may leap forward and cause injury.

WARNING!

Pushing and holding the

“down”

button (3)

will

activate the motor to travel at approximately 6 km/h (walking
speed).

“Pedal assist”

means

that the motor will be activated when you start pedalling and
the bike will move forward with motor assistance while you are
pedalling. Your

Pedal Assist Level is shown on the LCD screen

(4).

Level 0: pedal assist is OFF. At lower assistance levels the

motor will accelerate to lower speeds. At maximum assistance
level 5 the motor will accelerate to approximately 25 km/h.
