NORMAL MODE
For normal operation, the
bike must be turned on both
at the main power switch and
at the headlight body. The
main power switch should be
pushed forward as shown on
the
previous
page.
The
headlight body POWER switch
should be in the ON position.
While biking, the three LEDs
on the headlight body will
indicate how much battery
charge remains. See the LED
Charge Indicator Table for
further details.
HEADLIGHTS
When the bike is on, the
LIGHTS switch will turn the
headlights on and off. The
efficient
halogen
bulbs
consume 20 watts, or less
than 3% of the total bike’s
output power. Using the
headlights for an entire ride
will reduce runtime by about
2½ minutes.
ECONOMY MODE
For maximum runtime, the
SPEED switch may be set to
ECO. The Optibike’s economy
mode limits the output power
to approximately 300 watts
and can extend runtime to 2½
hours.
SAFE MODE
When the bike’s charge level
drops below 15%, the bike will
automatically
enter
safe
mode. Safe mode is similar to
economy mode and allows
the user to travel farther on
the little remaining charge.
SLEEP MODE
If your bike is turned on but
the throttle is not in use for
an extended period of time,
the bike will automatically
enter sleep mode. The LEDs
will not light and the bike will
appear to be off. To exit sleep
mode, toggle the POWER
switch.
