Version 21.01
The behaviour of the battery depends on a lot of different factors and is strongly
influenced by: capacity and voltage of the battery, degree of support that is used,
temperature, wind speed, tyre pressure, cycling speed, weight of the user and the
luggage, use of gearing etcetera.
3. Start assist
The Silent electric motor has a start support. This allows the driver to pull-away without
pedalling up to a speed of 6 km/h over six seconds. To accelerate, press the start assist
button and keep it pressed down. The function will only activate again, when the support
button has been pressed down again. If you peddle normally, the function works for up to
six seconds, each time the button is pressed, up to maximum speed of the tricycle (20
km/h).
The start assist is used for:
• Extra support when starting.
•
Extra support for cycling uphill.
When cycling a steep climb, you can use support in level 3 and push the start assist
repeatedly for six seconds to achieve maximum support.
4. Indication lights
The level of charge in the battery is given by five LED lights: four of these are green, the
one on the left can show either green or red, if charge is low.
The battery is fully charged. When in use, the number of green LED
lights on the battery will decrease.
The battery is 50% charged when two green LED lights are on.
The battery is almost empty if only the last red LED light is on. The
battery needs to be recharged or replaced by a (new) fully charged
battery.
When the last red LED light flashes, the battery is empty and the
motor will no longer support while cycling. The integrated lighting
continues to work.
