e-bike Operations
Your GIO Electric Peak e-bike is classified as a Class 2 e-bike in most areas.
This means that the motor embedded in the hub of the rear wheel can
cause the bicycle to achieve speeds up to 20mph (32km/hr) and can be
powered with or without pedaling using the throttle. There are 3 powered
drive modes: Walk, Cruise and PAS plus pressing the throttle switch at any
time will engage the motor. The e-bike must be turned on for any motor
functions to work.
Walk:
In this mode, the motor will activate at a consistent speed, this can
help push the bicycle while walking it up a hill or uneven surface that may
be di cult or unsafe to ride seated.
Cruise:
When activated this mode will propel the e-bike at a constant
speed without using the pedals/PAS or the throttle.
Power Assist (PAS):
In the power assist mode, the motor is engaged when
you pedal forward. Even lightly pushing the pedals will activate the motor
and maintain desired assistance level. Power assist will automatically shut
o
when the e-bike has reached the maximum speed, if the brakes are
applied or if you stop pedaling.
You should use the SHIMANO gear shifter on the handlebar to set the
gears appropriately according to road conditions and pedal as usual, you
will find that you need to exert a lot less e ort and the e-bike travels faster
and at a more steady speed.
Shifting Gears
The gear shifter for your e-bike is located on the right handlebar just
below the grip. It consists of a gauge with indicator that displays the
current gear and 2 shifter levers. Pushing the front shifter(a) raises to a
larger gear (smaller number) and pulling the rear shifter(b) lowers to a
smaller gear (larger number).
