Riding your E-Bike
1. PAS (Pedal Assist System):
Depending on your bike model and display setting, you would have PAS levels 0-3 or 0-5 or 0-9. This
will sense your pedaling action and activate motor power. Depending on your PAS level selection on
the display the motor output would be regulated.
2. Throttle Assist System:
The thumb throttle will allow you to ride your bike without pedaling. Please note that throttle
power uses maximum battery power and therefore your battery mileage may reduce significantly
depending on the amount of throttle power you would use.
Note: The LCD battery display bars will dip to zero or blank out under full load (on hills, etc) or certain
conditions when the charge level is 50% or less. This is normal as running voltage drops under high
load. To get an accurate battery reading, wait about 10 sec after the motor is not in use.
3. Shifting Gears: Shifting gears in an e-bike is very important particularly in mid-drive motors. Shift
your gears as you would in a car with stick shifter. So if you are starting from rest or approaching an
incline shift to lower gears. Your gear shifting would not only ease the efforts on your legs but also
improve the battery mileage significantly.
4. Please observe traffic regulations, and don't lend your bicycle to anyone unfamiliar with it. Refer
your local laws about any age restrictions on operating an E-bike
5. Even if you are in a country where wearing a cycle helmet is not mandatory, we still strongly advise
you to always wear one. If you are unfamiliar with cycling, we also advise you to attend a cycle
proficiency course before using it. Your bike is not a toy and should be considered a serious mode
of transport.
6. As with all bicycles, it is important that you stay within safe limits. If you feel you are traveling too
quickly for the road conditions you probably are, so slow down! High speed will increase forces in
the case of an accident and increase the possibility of injury.
7. Test your brakes before using the bike every time you use it and remember the bike will not stop as
quickly in wet or icy conditions as it would on a dry road.
8. Check the tires, rims, pedals, stem, cables, chain, etc for general condition regularly.
9. A rider is very difficult for motorists and pedestrians to see at dusk, at night, or at other times of
poor visibility. If you must ride under these conditions, check and be sure you comply with all local
laws about night riding; follow the rules of the road. Take the following additional precautions:
make sure that your bicycle is equipped with correctly positioned and securely mounted reflectors,
wear light-colored, reflective clothing and or accessories (any reflective device or light source that
moves will help you get the attention of approaching motorists, pedestrians, and other traffic).
Make sure your clothing or anything else you are carrying on your bicycle doesn't obstruct a
reflector or light. Ride slowly when conditions demand you to do so.
10. Check the front and rear rim's safety line. Replace the wheel when any part of the Rim Wear
Groove is not visible. It is dangerous not to do so.
