11 The green button
(not USA, Canada and some European countries)
11.1
The green button (when fitted) can be found on the left hand side of the handle
bars. The green button delimits the motor power and lets the rider ride the bike
above 25kph (15mph) with assistance from the motor to about 30kph (19mph).
The green button should only be used on private land and never on the public
highway.
IMPORTANT WARNING
The use of the green button on the public highway in many countries turns the bike
into a moped and any rider operating the green button on the public highway would
render themselves open to prosecution, fines, penalty points and loss of driving
license. It is important that you verify the legality of the green button in your region, if
it is not legal do not use the bike and we will remove it for you free of charge.
