Cycling with power assistance
•
Especially while driving in on a high power level,
the motor suddenly cutting off its support might be
experienced as if the motor is braking. Pedelecs are
allowed to support up to 25 km/h (15½ mph) in the
EU. Speed pedelecs, such as the Performance RD10
Speed, are allowed to support up to 45 km/h (28
mph) in the EU.
Turn the assistance off when you step off the
bicycle. Never walk with enabled assistance.
Keep the left brake lever (if present and
possibly also supplied with brake circuit-
breaker) pressed in when you are stationary
with enabled power assistance.
Further information on pedal assistance
•
Due to the powerful support you will easier
achieve high speeds than usual. Do not let yourself
be suprised, use the bike for the first time in a low
traffic environment, to get used to the bike.
•
Stepping up the bike, if the pedal assistance is
turned on, is not like a normal bike. You will drive
off easier. It is advisable to use powerlevel 1 - 3, for
driving away from stand.
•
When the pedal assistance is turned off, the bicycle
will have very minimal resistance. In this way, the
bicycle can also be used a normal bike. However,
be careful that if you ride without a battery, the
lighting also can not work.
•
The functioning of the pedal assistance is
dependent on the cycling speed, the set power
level program and how full the battery is.
•
There is a legal speed limit up to which the motor is
allowed to support. Near this speed limit the motor
support will gradually diminish.
