HAND THROTTLE CONTROL
Before you begin riding, turn the main
power switch on, then start riding as
you would ride a regular, non-motor
assisted cycle. After you have begun
to ride, slowly twist the throttle
towards you .The more you twist the
throttle, the more motor power will
be applied to the wheels. You may
feel the pedals get a “lighter” feel than
riding without the motor assisting
you. Once you have twisted the throttle all the way, the motor can
accelerate you to its full speed of about 32kph or 20mph.
THROTTLE OVERRIDE
Engaging the throttle will override the pedal assistance and provide
power commensurate to the amount of turn of the throttle - from
none, to full power! As well, you can deactivate the throttle by
pressing in the black button under the throttle.
PEDAL ASSIST (PAS)
Vamoose cycles come with both pedal assist and throttle capability.
The pedal assist mode (PAS) is only active when the pedals are
in forward motion. A cadence sensor ring on the bottom bracket
spindle rotates and a sensor reads this rotation. To activate, identify
the level of pedal assist on the display (1-3, 1-5, or 1-9) and begin
by first riding as if you are on a normal non-electric cycle. Once the
pedals are in motion, the PAS system will activate the motor power.
It is suggested that during your initial rides, you use the lower
level PAS and work up to the more powerful levels once you are
comfortable on the cycle.
Free Ride
All Vamoose cycles are capable of free-riding, that is, powering the
cycle with pedal power only.
