Operation of the Coaster PowaCycle
Overview
The PowaCycle Coaster is an electrically assisted bicycle that
operates as a standard bicycle, with the assistance of a motor and
battery.
The power provided supports the rider’s own efforts, giving increased
performance with less effort.
The Coaster has an independent throttle. This allows the user to
choose whether or not to use the power and, if using it, to vary it
according to requirements.
