Riding the bike
To begin using the bike, press (and hold) the ‘Mode’ button to switch on the ‘King-Meter’. The bike is now
effectively on, and if you ride it in this state, the motor will provide assistance when pedalling and you will
also be able to use the throttle if you wish. To vary the amount of assistance provided by the motor, use
the up/down buttons to cycle through the 5 assistance levels, with 1 offering the least assistance and 5
offering the most assistance.
There are several other features available on the King-Meter and these are covered later in the manual.
The information provided so far is just enough to get you up and running as quickly as possible.
Important note about the maximum speed. You may not reach the maximum speed on throttle alone.
You can increase the maximum speed on throttle by setting the assistance level to high but to achieve the
maximum legal speed of 15mph, you need to be using pedal assist. Your maximum speed will be then be
limited by your highest cadence.
The motor will only assist you up to 15mph. Though of course you can use your own strength/power to
pedal beyond 15mph if you wish, but the motor will not help you beyond the 15mph limit. This limit is in
accordance with current UK law.
Throttle control: The throttle is located on the right side of the handlebars as shown below. When the throt-
tle is pulled fully, the motor will provide the most assistance. The throttle feature is enabled/disabled by the
red button as indicated below. The red button does not affect pedal-assist which is always available if the
King-Meter is switched on.
