Your IZIP electric bicycle features two operating modes:
1. Power-On-Demand Mode (POD)
2. Pedal Assist Mode (PAS)
In Power-On-Demand Mode (POD), motor power is regulated by actuation of the twist-grip throttle mounted on the right-
hand side of the handlebar. Twist the throttle toward you to apply motor power. Pedaling is optional. Power is available
whether you pedal or not. The position of the throttle will determine how much power is applied. To terminate power,
release the throttle allowing it to return to its “OFF” position.
In Pedal Assist Mode (PAS), the motor will assist you as soon as you begin pedaling the bike. The proportion of the
‘Assist’ is set via the display (see the following pages). If the rider does not pedal, no power is sent to the motor.
Ceasing pedaling during the ride will cause the motor to turn off. Motor power will be restarted when the rider begins
pedaling again.
While in Pedal Assist Mode (PAS), you can override the PAS function with the throttle. After beginning to ride, rotate the
throttle toward you to choose any percentage of motor power up to 100%.
