The electrical support
How does the support work?
The motor starts to work as soon as you
turn on the support and start to pedal. The law
states that the speed which is possible solely
from the motor’s power is limited. The perfor-
mance of the motor is tied to your pedalling.
You can influence the performance provid-
ed by the powerful Panasonic motor in various
ways:
• Selecting the support mode : Depending on
the support mode selected and the model,
the motor provides up to x2.66 your own
pedal force. A weaker support mode does
not aid as strongly but does have a wider
range. A stronger support mode is for ex-
ample useful on steep hills, or if you are in
a hurry.
• Your own pedalling . The more powerfully
you pedal, the more performance the mo-
tor will also provide. This naturally also
increases the energy consumption and re-
duces the maximum possible range.
• Riding with a suitable cadence . The mo-
tors of the various models are optimised for
various riding styles and cadences. Perfor-
mance and energy consumption match var-
ious high pedalling frequencies. Commonly,
everyday users and tour riders ride with a
lower cadence than sports riders. Please
ask your FLYER retailer which approach is
best for you.
The range of your FLYER is optimised to the
state of the art. It is influenced by the battery
you select as well as various other factors.
These include:
• The technical condition of your FLYER :
Ensure that you have sufficient tyre pres-
sure, a well maintained chain and that
nothing is rubbing during riding.
• The ambient temperature : When the am-
bient outdoor temperatures are cold, bat-
teries offer lower capacity and discharge
faster. It is useful to insert the battery into
your FLYER only shortly before starting your
ride after keeping it in a heated room.
• The riding style : In general, riding in lower
gears and with a higher cadence results
in greater range. The power sensor regis-
ters if you are riding with high power input
in high gears. You will then be supported
more strongly, but this comes at the cost of
the reduced range.
