5.5 Throttle
To accelerate, twist the throttle towards you. There
are no gears or clutch, so the throttle controls all
acceleration from start to top speed (excluding
gravity). To maintain a constant speed, hold the
throttle in a constant position. If you let go of the
throttle, the 2✗2 will start to decelerate.
Note:
Do not continuously power the throttle when
the 2✗2 is held stationary.

5.6 Brakes
Bedding in the brakes:
For optimum brake
performance with new bikes or brake pads, we
recommend performing a series of 10 sequential
firm braking efforts from 40kph / 25mph to 5kph /
3mph in a controlled environment. This will ensure
that the brake pad material is sufficiently deposited
onto the rotor, improving the total braking force
available, as well as resistance to overheating.
Regenerative braking system:
To slow down, release
the throttle to neutral position and then apply the
brakes: left = rear, right = front. The UBCO drive
system incorporates a progressive regenerative
braking system, where the motors themselves apply
controlled braking prior to the mechanical brakes
taking effect in two discrete steps.
• Step 1 is a gentle "engine braking" effect when the
throttle is released.
• Step 2 kicks in when the brake levers are initially
pressed, just prior to the mechanical brake pads,
adding more motor braking when the brake levers
are engaged fully.
This system not only saves brake pad wear, but also
transfers energy back into the bike's battery, to
maximize range. It’s a win-win! The magnitude of
regen braking is adjustable in the UBCO Rider's App
to suit the rider’s preferences and use case.
Tip:
The brake lever angle can be adjusted using
the screws on the brake lever mount. Ensure they're
retightened to 7Nm torque setting.
