14. Tips for Riding a E-Bike
Starting Off
When the controller is on, the power assist will be applied immediately when you step on the Pedal. It is, therefore, recommended to mount
your UNI MK Classic/Swing with controller off. After you are seated, make sure no weight is on the pedals to prevent accidental movement, then turn
on the controller. Start off at the lowest level of assistance.
Selecting the Correct Level of Assistance between range of assist levels 1 - 9
Do not only ride in high gear with power assist. Change gears as you would on a conventional bicycle to maintain an efficient cadence for
your riding style. This will maximize the efficiency of the assistance to your power input. UNI MK Classic/Swing has 9 assist levels (Assist level: 1- 9),
ranging from“0“ (no assist), „1“ (minimum assist) to “9“ (maximum assist).
Riding with Power Assistance
How much you pedal determines how much assistance the motor provides. All E-Bikes have an internal control algorithm to stop assisting
as soon as you stop pedaling. This is an inbuilt safety feature conforming to EN 15194 (EPAC – Electrically Power Assisted Cycles).
When cornering on a E-Bike, stop pedaling sooner than you are used to, otherwise, you may have too much speed through the turn.
As you are likely to be traveling at an average above speed, look further up the road and be ready to brake whenever a possible situation
appears before you.
Due to the near silent nature of an electric motor, pedestrians and other cyclists may not hear you approaching.
Ride defensively, wear bright clothing, signal your intentions, and use your bell when necessary.
