Getting Started and how to use your power assistance:
Once your bike has been safety checked and is ready to ride
the next step is to turn on the electric. To do this, ensure your
battery is locked on to the bike and switch the battery switch to
the on position.
Press the power button on the LED display on the handlebars. In
doing this the display should light up with red LED lights.
Once turned on the display will indicate battery life and it will
automatically select the lowest level of pedal assist. This will be
indicated by one red LED light nearest the minus sign of the
assist part of the display.
At this point if you start to ride the bike the PAS assistance will
automatically kick in and assist you whist pedaling. (Tip: stay
on the lowest level until you become confident enough to
increase the power) You can increase the level of assistance
simply by pressing the + button, this will be indicated by the
LED light moving closer to the + sign. You can repeat this until
you reach maximum assistance. (15.5 M.P.H) To come back down
the assistance levels simply press the - button. IMPORTANT:
Please be aware that the assistance is also sensitive to how fast
you pedal and will only give you maximum assist when you are
pedaling relatively fast. (this applies in most levels selected)
To turn off the assistance so you are only using manual pedaling
either press the power button or move down through the assist
modes with the - button until the LED no longer is lit up.
On the right hand side of the handlebars you will find (if fitted)
a half twist grip throttle. When the bike is turned on, the throttle is active and operates independently of pedaling, a bit like a
moped. (no requirement to pedal) Please note the red isolation
button also needs to be in the depressed position for the
throttle to be on.
Simply twist the half grip throttle and it will propel the bike. It is
limited though to what level of assistance you have selected on
the PAS. (remember using the throttle will use more battery life
up quicker).
Turining the lights On/Off
To turn the lights on/off simply hold down the + button for a
few seconds.
IMPORTANT: When using the throttle try to avoid hill starts
and only use pedaling when the bike seems under strain to
avoid motor burnout. In not doing this it can also void your
warranty.
