The battery charge status is displayed in the top right corner of the

display. When the battery is discharged, the battery frame will flash

to indicate the battery needs to be recharged immediately.

The power draw from the battery by the electric bicycle can be read

under the battery charge status indicator in real time.

If there are any faults with the electrical system, an error code will

be displayed at the bottom of the display. Consult TEBCO or your

retailer for assistance.

Pedestrian Function

The Explorer has an in built 6 km/h pedestrian function so that

the bike can be safely wheeled under power whilst walking beside

it. To activate, hold down the ‘-‘ button for as long as you wish to

walk the bicycle.

Headlights and Taillights

To switch ON the headlight and taillight, press the ‘headlight’

button. To switch OFF the headlight and taillight, press the

‘headlight’ button again.

NOTE: The display backlight will dim when the headlight and

taillight are illuminated.

PAS Setting

The pedal assist function sets the amount of assistance from the

motor when pedaling. This is adjusted with the ‘-‘ and ‘+’ buttons.

The default level is 0 (zero) - no output power. This can be

adjusted between 0 (zero) and 9 (nine) as desired by the user.
