Walk Mode
Use Walk Mode when walking beside your
bicycle
and you’re in need of power
assistance. For example, when walking up
a hill.
To enter Walk mode:
Press and hold Down button
for 2
seconds (from any mode). Walk mode will
instantly shut down once you release the
button.
Switching to Walk mode will instantly
ignite the motor and propel the bicycle
to a speed of 5 km/h even with no
pressure on the pedals. Make sure you are holding
your bicycle steadily and that the path in front of
your bicycle is clear. Walk mode will automatically
shut down once you release the button.
Operating Range
The distance you will be able to ride with
a single battery charge depends on many
factors. Some are under your control and
some are not. The factors you have no
control on are weather conditions such as
wind direction, wind strength, and
temperature. Difficult road surfaces also
influence the range you can achieve.
Loose and irregular ground surfaces will
increase your tires rolling resistance and
therefore require more power and
decrease the range you can cover.
The factors you have control over are the
following:
▪
The power assistance level you choose
▪
How often you shift gears
▪
Tires pressure and condition
▪
The weight of cargo you are carrying
▪
Condition of the battery
Here are some tips to help you reach
maximum range of a battery charge:
▪
Only use the power assistance you need
for each condition during your ride. (You
may not need maximum assistance
while riding on flat ground or with a tail
wind).
▪
After a stop, start off again on an easy
gear
combination
and
shift
up
progressively as you gain speed. (Think
of it as driving a car with a manual
transmission where you would not start
accelerating in a high gear).
▪
Keep your tires inflated at the
recommended pressure. (This will
significantly
reduce
the
rolling
resistance of your tires and require less
power to propel the bicycle).
▪
Only bring the necessary equipment to
keep your overall weight as low as
possible.
▪
Always charge your battery according to
the instructions described in section
Charging the battery of this manual to
extend its life and performance.
It is recommended that you plan your
ride to make sure you can make it back
home on a single charge or have a
charging stop planned in advance.
