WARNING: Never pedal backward while shifting. This can cause the chain
to derail and may cause you to lose control, resulting in an accident that
could cause serious injury or death, and property damage. Always pedal
forward at a steady pace when shifting gears.
o
The 7-speed rear derailleur operates independently of the motor.
o
To maximize the range that you can ride with electric assistance, and to
give yourself a pleasant aerobic workout, we recommend that you pedal to
assist the motor. This is best accomplished by using a combination of
pedal- and motor-power to achieve your desired speed. Set the Cruise
Control (instructions above) at that speed. Then, using the derailleur
control, adjust the gear setting to find a gear that makes pedaling
comfortable while assisting the motor.
Note: Consult your physician before undertaking any form of physical exercise
and for guidance regarding aerobic workouts.

Range
o
Many factors affect the range that you will experience with the bike.
These include:
ƒ Battery state-of-charge
ƒ Tire inflation pressure
ƒ
Adjustment of the wheel bearings and brakes (tight bearings or a
dragging brake shoe will adversely affect range)
ƒ Rider weight (it takes more energy to accelerate a heavier person)
ƒ The speed at which you travel, and local wind conditions (air
resistance increases exponentially with speed)
ƒ Terrain (road surface and hills; traveling on a soft surface, such as
dirt or gravel, or climbing a hill burns energy faster)
ƒ Lots of starts and stops (full power from a standing start draws the
most amperage from the battery)
o
There are many things that you can do to maximize your range. These
include:
ƒ Fully charge your battery before each ride.
ƒ Check your tire pressure regularly and inflate the tires to the
maximum pressure printed on the tire sidewall.
ƒ Have your bike serviced periodically to insure that the bearings
turn freely and the brakes do not rub the rims when they are not
applied.
ƒ Minimize the weight that you carry.
ƒ Ride at slower speeds.
ƒ Accelerate more slowly. Assist the system by pedaling as you
accelerate to your cruising speed.
