3.3.4 Setting the assistance level or recovery level
The drive system provides
three different degrees of
assistance for operation.
To select a higher level of as-
sistance, press the arrow up (
A
)
button once.
To select a lower level of assistance, press
the arrow down (
B
) button once.
At the top left of the display (
C
) the assistan-
ce levels are shown as display segments un-
der “Assist”.
For information
At assistance level “0”, the drive system is ac-
tive but does not provide assistance.
In addition, the system can be used in
recovery operation
. The motor is operated in
this case as a generator and feeds electri-
cal energy back into the battery pack. This can be useful as additional
braking operation on longer downhill runs. Again, there are three different
recovery levels available.
You can enter the recovery mode by briefly pressing the arrow down (
B
)
button in the support level “0”. Here, too, there are three different levels of
recovery available. At the top left of the display (
C
) the assistance levels
are shown as display segments under “Assist”. To distinguish it from the as-
sistance mode, the segments flash in recovery mode. To leave the recovery
mode, press the arrow up button (
A
) until no more segments flash.
For information
When a brake lever (
D
) is actuated, the assistance of the electric drive
is stopped. At the same time, the recovery
mode is activated and the tricycle is additi-
onally braked. As soon as both brake levers
are released, recovery mode is deactivated
again and the support is activated at the
same time.
