ENVO D35 - 5.4. Using the Hand Throttle Control; 5.5. Understanding and Using the Brakes

ENVO D35 | ST EBIKE MANUAL | VERSION 1.0 33
5.4. HAND THROTTLE CONTROL
• ENVO bikes are equipped with a thumb throttle located on the left side of the handlebar
• Like on a motorcycle, a bike throttle is designed to let the user apply 0-100% of the motor’s
power at will. The throttle can act independently or in tandem with or without PAS (Pedal Assist
System)
• When the pedal-assist mode is set to “1 or higher”, the throttle will accelerate the bike forward.
You control the throttle by pushing on the thumb attachment. The farther the throttle switch
is from its resting position; the more power is delivered to the motor to accelerate the ENVO
Electric Bike
• When you want to slow down, you release the throttle and let it return to its resting position, and
simultaneously apply the brakes. The ENVO Electric Bike also comes with a Throttle Override
function, which allows the throttle to work in pedal assist modes
5.5. BRAKES
• Your Electric Bike is equipped with Hydraulic disc brakes for maximum reliability. Applying
pressure to the brake levers will cause the brake pads to cause friction against the brake rotors,
slowing the wheel. The more pressure applied to the brake lever, the faster the Electric Bike will
come to a stop
• ENVO ebikes brakes are equipped with microswitches that cut off the motor power whenever
the brake levers are squeezed. You should check the operation of your brake disconnect switch
before every ride: While riding slowly in a controlled environment (like your driveway), engage
the motor then squeeze each brake separately. The motor should lose power immediately and
remain off as long as a brake lever is depressed
The cable switch can be disconnected, come loose, or malfunction – so always perform a
check before you ride. Be sure to pull both brakes in an emergency or when you need the
motor to disengage.
• A circular brake sign will show up on the screen whenever you brake
• Always apply both brakes simultaneously. Applying only the front brake to slow or stop at high
speeds may result in the rider being ejected from the saddle and continuing forward over the
handlebars. It is best to apply even pressure to both brake levers when slowing or stopping
