asTM CoNDITIoN 2,
General purpose Riding.
Your E-series bike has an electric pedal assist drive
system. It is not a moped or motorcycle. In EU contries,
it is known legally as an “EpaC” cycle or Electrically
powered assisted Cycle.
The drive assist system consists of a drive unit, a
battery, a computer control, and various electronic
components (harness wires, sensors, and switches).
Your E-series bike does share components common
with pedal-only bikes.
see figure 1.
It is important to know that when the assist system is
turned oN, the drive unit enages to provide power only
while you are pedaling. The amount of power provided
by the drive unit depends on your pedaling force and
the assistance mode/level you set with the handlebar
control unit. at anytime, if you stop pedaling, the drive
assist will dis-engage. In all modes/levels, the drive
assist system power reduces progressively and cuts off
as the bike reaches a speed of 25 km/h, (15.5 mph), or
sooner if you stop pedaling. The drive assist re-engages
when speed drops below 25 km/h, (15.5 mph) as long
as the pedals are turning.
Whenever the drive assist system is turned oFF, you
can pedal the bike normally. The drive system will not
engage.
