Option1: Regular pedaling – traditional way to ride a bicycle.
Option 2: Throttle mode is similar to how a motorcycle or scooter operates. When the throttle
is twisted, the motor provides power and propels you and the bike forward. A throttle allows
you to pedal or, you can kick back and enjoy a “free” ride! Most throttles can be fine tuned like
a volume dial between low and full power.
Option 3: Pedal assist is a mode that provides power only when you are pedaling. If you are
accustomed to riding a traditional bike, the pedal assist mode has a more intuitive feel
compared to the throttle mode. The pedal assist mode is also nice because you can focus
purely on your pedaling and you don’t have to hold the throttle in a certain position. Since you
have to pedal, the pedal assist mode will generally give you more range when compared to the
throttle mode.
The cadence sensor pedal assist systems provide assistance when the cranks of the
bike are turning. The cadence sensor will provide the assist based purely on the level
assist you have selected and it will not increase or decrease the assist based on your
actual pedal power. You could be pedaling very lightly or very hard and it will provide
the same level of assist.
A lot of pedal assist bikes have different levels of assistance, for example: low, medium,
or high assist. Please note that some e-bikes have 4 or 5 pedal assist settings.
Low pedal assist: Low assist provides a small electric assist while you provide more
pedal power and get more of a workout.
Medium pedal assist: You have a nice tailwind everywhere you go. Medium pedal assist
can be a nice balance of your pedal power and the motor power.
High pedal assist: High pedal assist is when you want to get somewhere quickly and
with minimal effort.
**The Bintelli E1 and F1 models both have 3 levels of pedal assist. The B1 and M1 have 5 levels of
pedal assist
