CONTROL PANEL
a. Turning on/off the electric system
You can connect the electric pedal assist system by pressing the On/Off
button in the Control Panel placed on the handlebar. All the leds will switch
on and off checking the proper operation of the electrical system when the
button is pushed. If there isn’t any light flashing at the end, everything is
correct.
From that moment on, the control unit activates all the elements of the
system and the motor will assist you when you start to pedal. The operation
of the pedal-assist depends on the pedalling rate (cadence). The faster you
pedal, the more assistance you will have, according to the legal limit of 25
km/h. From that point on the motor will be disconnected.
b. Pedal-assist levels
The system has 3 power levels of pedal assistance. To set a low or a
high assistance, you will have to push the MODE button as many times as
necessary until you reach the power level of assistance that you desire.
In the LOW assistance level, the energy supplied by the battery is the
minimum, allowing a higher range with less assistance. In the HIGH
assistance level, the pedal assistance is maximum and consequently the
range will be slightly reduced.
Recommendation: Start to pedal in a short gearing (big sprockets) and in
the low assistance level. As a result of this you will have higher control and
safety, less energy consumption and therefore more range.
For safety reasons, the pedal assistance is disconnected when the brakes
are operated.
The Citysurfer can be used as a conventional bicycle if it is necessary, that
is, without pedal assistance. The bike is equipped with a brushless DC
electric motor with little friction. Therefore, the pedalling without the motor
assistance does not imply additional resistance.
c. Charge level indicator leds. Battery Range
The control panel has a charge level indicator that shows the remaining
battery storage capacity. This indicator has 4 leds that turn off while the
battery is running down. The battery is at 100% when the four leds are
turned on.
