Level 0 provides no pedal assistance, level 1 provides the lowest amount of pedal assis-
tance, and level 5 provides the highest amount. Start in PAS level 0 or 1 and increase PAS
levels one at a time as you get comfortable.
WARNING : Engaging the pedal assist feature, especially at a high setting, will
cause acceleration that may be greater than expected, especially for relatively new
riders, and that can cause loss of control, serious injury, or death. To reduce risk,
always start at PAS level 0 or 1.
4. Begin riding carefully. With the proper safety gear you may now operate your bike. Begin
by pedaling on flat ground, clear of obstacles and people, with the bike in an easy (low)
gear and at pedal assist level 0 or 1. You may also use the thumb throttle assist to accel-
erate and maintain your desired speed. The rear derailleur is controlled by the right shifter
(the side with the crank or if sitting on bike). The function of the rear derailleur is to move
the drive chain from one gear sprocket to another. The smaller sprockets on the gear
cluster produce higher gear ratios. Pedaling in the higher gears requires greater pedaling
effort but takes you a greater distance with each revolution of the pedal cranks. The larger
sprockets produce lower gear ratios. Using them requires less pedaling effort but takes
you a shorter distance with each pedal crank revolution. Moving the chain from a smaller
sprocket of the gear cluster to a larger sprocket result in a downshift. Moving the chain
from a larger sprocket to a smaller sprocket result in an upshift. In order for the derailleur to
move the chain from one sprocket to another, the rider must be pedaling forward.
5. Use the thumb throttle assist (next to the left handlebar grip) by slowly and carefully
pressing it downwards. Do not use the thumb throttle assist unless you’re on the bike,
and note that the thumb throttle assist can be activated with downward pressure any
time the bike is powered on.
WARNING : Be careful not to accidentally press the thumb throttle lever, which can
cause sudden acceleration. If you’re not prepared for this acceleration, you can lose
control of the bike, which can lead to serious injury or death. To reduce this risk,
always keep at least one hand ready to squeeze the brake lever to cut off power to
the motor. When you dismount, power off the bike before moving it.
Brake light & headlight features and operation
Your Skwad is equipped with a headlight & taillight/brake light that is integrated into the
electrical system. When you turn on your bike, press and hold the UP control button for two
seconds, both the headlight and taillight will illuminate to make you more visible to other
vehicles. Any time the bike is powered on, squeezing one or both brake levers on the han-
dlebar will activate the brake light, causing the taillight to illuminate additional areas.
Battery capacity display
The LCD display on the handlebar features a battery capacity gauge (like a fuel gauge on
a car). This gauge calculates the remaining battery charge based on the current battery
power output (instantaneous voltage reading), and can fluctuate while riding as power
demand and/or output changes. When only one bar is illuminated, you should charge the
battery as soon as possible. At lower states of charge, the bike may limit power output to
make the remaining power last a little bit longer. When the battery is fully depleted, the last
bar will begin to flash, alerting you that you’re about to lose all electrical power. Any time
your power is off or depleted, you can still propel your bike by pedaling it.
