3.2.2 The LIGHT button is the on/off button. If you click the on/off when the bike’s power is on,
the LED headlight and rear light will illuminate. The LCD display will also become back lit.
Click it again to switch off the lights. The power for the lights comes from the bike battery,
but due to the low power consumption of the LED lights, you will not noticeably reduce your
range.
IMPORTANT
Do not press the (V) down button to turn off the lights as this will activate the walk along
mode and the bike will start to move forward.

The Throttle
3.3.1 The twist grip throttle can be found on the left-hand side of the handlebars. Further details
of the operation are provided below. The twist and go throttle has two functions:
i. To power the bike sufficiently to help when walking the bike to a maximum of 4mph or
6km/h. This can also be achieved by pushing the down button (V) for 3 seconds and holding.
ii. To increase the power to the motor when on a level road. The throttle takes the bike out
of torque mode if you have upgraded to TPP. Your range will decrease if you use this option.

Battery capacity meter, riding style and affect on range
3.5.1 The range of the bike (distance covered between recharging of the battery) is greatly
influenced by the level of assist selected, the amount of pedal assistance provided by the
rider and the use of the throttle.
3.5.2 If a high level of assist is selected, then the range of the bike will be reduced compared to
using a lower level of assist.
3.5.3 The Wisper cadence sensor system detects the speed the pedal cranks are turning, and this
information is fed into an on-board computer (the controller) to give the rider the most
natural riding experience possible.
When the TPP is fitted, the torque sensor in the main bearing will turn on the motor as soon
as the rider puts sufficient pressure on the pedals.
