Pedal Assist Mode

The E90 has been designed (and factory programmed) to let you ride safely and consistently at
speeds of 1822km/h. The E90 uses “variable pedal assist technology” to achieve this. Behind
the pedal, on the crank is a sensor which monitors if you are pedalling or not.
To set the bike to pedal assist, use the up arrow in the display by pressing it once to move it out
of ‘auto’. You will see a dark grey bar appear next to where the ‘auto’ symbol was. Pedal assist is

One bar is the lowest power setting. It is perfectly functional and more experienced riders find it
perfect for flatriding, adding minimal assist on occasional inclines or headwinds. The motor is
often not being used, or if it is, the power usage is minimal at this setting. Two or three bars will
see the motor operational most of the time. Most E90 riders find this more than adequate to ride
40+ kms at an average speed of 1820km/h. It will increase power when it encounters a hill and
decrease it for the flat. There are 6 power settings, the maximum is indicated by the “hi” symbol
and all bars illuminated.
The more you assist the bike using pedals and GEARS! the less work the motor has to do and
the further you will be able to travel. Gears are perhaps one of the most overlooked aspects of
riding especially for inexperienced adults whom might have never owned a bike with more than
3 gears in their childhood. We recommend a minimum of 3 gears (typically a beachcruiser) and
for most road users a 21 speed bike for commuting. Owners have sold us they regularly see
4070kms from the E90, yet each bike and rider can be very different. We recommend some
