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.
