When the throttle or sensor is engaged (powering the motor) and the
bicycleisinmotion,theLEDsonthebatterygauge(onthethrottleor
separate unit) indicate instantaneous line voltage as measured at the
battery terminals – not the available energy in the battery pack.
The line voltage willwwing out from a dead stop, or going up a steep hill,
the motor will be under a high load and may show a reduced number of
LEDsorshowthe“Yellow”oreven“Red”LED.
When the throttle is disengaged (i.e. no power to the motor due to
thebicyclebeingstationaryorcoasting)theLEDsonthethrottlewill
indicate the voltage of the battery pack. The voltage of the battery pack
will rise when no load is on the motor. The best indication of how much
batterylifeisremainingistocheckthethrottleLEDs,afterreaching
cruisingspeed,onaatstraightroadasthiswillallowthebattery
voltage to stabilize and give a much more accurate reading.
