3.2 The Pedal Assistance System
The pedal assistance system is designed to provide the optimal amount of assisted power.
It provides assistance within a standard range, based on factors such as the pedalling force, the speed of the
bicycle and the drivetrain. The system does not provide assistance in the following situations:
- If the display panel is switched off.
- When travelling at 25 km/h or faster.
- If you are not pedalling and the throttle function is released at 6 km/h.
- If there is no remaining battery life.
- If the assistance mode selected is 0% assistance.
3.3 Assistance Modes of the Pedal Assistance System
There are multiple power assistance modes available.
Select the 100% AUTO power mode (or BOOST), the 70% mode (or SPORT), the 50% mode (or ECO+), the
30% mode (or ECO) or the 0% mode (or NO ASSIST), depending on what best suits your cycling conditions.
