3.3 Assistance Modes of the Pedal Assistance System
There are multiple power assistance modes available.
Select the power mode, AUTO, BOOST, SPORT, ECO +, ECO and NO ASSIST, depending on what best suits
your cycling conditions.
Seethe“DISPLAYPANEL”sectiontondouthowtoswitchbetweenassistancemodes.
BOOST Use when you want to get maximum power from the system.
SPORT Usewhenclimbingdifcultterrains.
ECO + Use when you want a more comfortable ride, e.g. when climbing a steep hill.
ECO Use when you want to travel as far as possible.
NO ASSIST Use when you want to travel without assisted power. You can continue to use the other
functions of the display panel.
3.4 Range of the Pedal Assistance System
The range of the system will vary, depending on the following riding conditions, among others:
• Frequent starts and stops.
• Gear ratio of the drivetrain.
• Numerous steep slopes.
• Poor road conditions.
• Transporting heavy loads.
• Cycling into a strong headwind.
• Low ambient temperature.
• Deteriorated battery.
• When using the light (only applicable to models equipped with battery-powered lights).
• Ifthebicycleisnotinasuitablecondition,e.g.lowpressureinthetyres,insufcientlubricationofthechainor
abrakenotttedcorrectly.
3.5 Starting Pedalling
Beforerestingyourfeetonthepedals,youmustsitontheseatandholdthehandlebarrmly.Specialcare
should be taken if you start pedalling when using a high assistance mode (BOOST mode, or SPORT mode),
as the motor will respond with maximum thrust and you may lose control. To facilitate acceleration, the motor
provides an additional initial thrust as soon as you start pedalling. So minimal force is necessary to put the
bicycleinmotion,helpingyoutojointhetrafcquicklyandsafely.
WARNING
Start pedalling with a short gear ratio (higher gears) and low assistance mode
(ECO mode). As well as providing greater control and safety on the bicycle,
it requires less energy consumption and, therefore, ensures a longer range.
Please note that starting with a higher assistance mode (ECO +, SPORT and
BOOST modes) may put the user's safety at risk.
WARNING
When the user pushes the bike while walking alongside it, they must make
sure that the system is disconnected.
