Gi Fly employs a Bafang electric hub brushless 250-watt motor. This motor is commanded by the
custom controller which regulates the bike’s electric assistance, max speed, as well as the torque
sensor.
Gi Fly is a pedelec bicycle. Pedelec bicycles do not have a button or throttle that regulate the electric
assistance. Instead, pedelec bikes have sensors which let the controller know when to engage or
stop the motor. Gi Fly specically uses a torque sensor to measure the force that you apply when
pedaling. So, in short, the electric assistance of Gi Fly activates when the rider starts pedaling.

i. Maximizing your motor and battery’s performance
and reliability
Gi Fly’s electric motor is designed to get you from one distance to another more quickly and with
less eort than you would on a traditional, non-electric bicycle. Gi Fly’s quoted 40 mile range is
dependent upon several variables. Namely, rider weight (including clothing and luggage), tire type,
terrain, surface texture, weather conditions, as well as the amount that the rider is pedaling.
Continual use of the motor assistance while riding will lessen the bike’s battery range. Employing
the bike’s highest level of electric assistance will also lessen the bike’s battery range.
To maximize your bike’s battery range, read the following points carefully:
Continue to pedal at all times. Pedaling with the assistance will maximize the bike’s
battery range.
Try to keep the total combined weight of clothing, luggage, and accessories to a mini-
mum. Added weight will aect your bike’s handling and will increase the stress on the
motor, potentially reducing the service life of the product.
If you cannot avoid rough terrains (e.g., poor road surfaces, potholes, speed bumps,
etc.), adapt your riding style accordingly.
Use the electric assistance sparingly with maximum pedal input to ensure the best
possible range.

Do not use the motor when passing over obstacles such as ruts in
the road or speed bumps. Doing so will stress the drive components
and reduce the service life of the product, possibly invalidating
your warranty.
