Cycling with power assistance
• The pedal assistance is legally limited to a speed of
25 km/h (16 mph). This means that if you are going
towards a speed of 25 km/h (16 mph) the pedal
power will decrease to zero gradually.
*
Attention!
Turn the assistance to level 0 or off when
you step off the bicycle. Never walk with enabled
assistance.
It can be dangerous to walk with a
bicycle with enabled power assistance, because the
pedals can rotate per accident, and the motor will
provide power and the bicycle can run off!
This is
only applicable to for models with a rotationsensor
(rearmotor models).
*
Attention!
Always ride with your fingers on the
brake levers, so that you can react quickly when you
need to brake. Stop pedalling while braking, and try
to brake with both brake levers simultaneously and
with the same braking force. Keep the left brake lever
(if present) pressed in when you are stationary with
enabled power assistance.
*
Attention!
Turn the assistance off when you want to
drive very calmly or with bad or slippery roads.
Further information on pedal assistance
• Due to the powerful support you will achieve high
speeds more easily than usual. To avoid surprises,
use the bike in a low traffic environment for the
first time, to get used to the bike. If you ride the
bicycle for the first time it is advisable to only turn
on the pedal assistance after you have already
reached speeds around 12 km/h.
• If the pedal assistance is turned on, stepping on
the bike 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 will not work.
• The functioning of the pedal assistance depends on
the cycling speed (on midmotor models also on the
pedal force and the cadence speed), the set power
level program and how full the battery is.
