2. Quick Start Cont.
The bike has two modes of operation, ‘Pedelec’ mode and ‘Automatic’ mode. These work
in tandem with each other so there is no need to select one or the other (as on previous
ByoCycle systems). The ‘Pedelec’ function means the motor assistance will activate when
one rotation of the cranks has been achieved, it will then continue to provide assistance as
you pedal. The motor will cut out when the pedal strokes stop. The ‘Automatic’ function is
operated by rotating the thumb lever on the right-hand side of the handlebars next to the
handlebar grip.
By rotating the thumb lever the bike will pull away with no input from the rider, (EU
specification bikes do not have this function). Both brakes have a motor cut-out switch
installed to neutralise the motor when the brakes are pulled.

Battery Fitting & Removal
To fit the battery to the bike, using the slots on the rear of the battery, align the battery with
fitting guide and slide the battery onto the connection plate. Push the barrel lock into place
& then turn the key anti-clockwise. The battery is now locked in place and the key can now
be removed.
To remove the battery insert the key and turn clockwise. The barrel will spring out and the
battery can be removed. Again, remove the key and keep it in a safe place, until the
battery needs to be replaced.
