Multiple levels of power assist are provided by the motor. The level of assist provided
at any given time can be adjusted using the display panel on the handlebars.
A sensor at the crank activates the motor when the pedals receive pressure from the
rider. The motor continues to run at the preselected level as long as pressure is
applied to the pedals. When first using the power-assist mode, we recommend you
start off with a low level of assist (PAS 1 or 2) until you get used to the power
function and the bike in general.
The throttle is on the left side of the handlebars and is actuated by depressing
the lever. When the bike is powered on, pressing the throttle provides power to the
motor even when the rider is not pedaling. The bike must be moving forward at
6 mph+ for the throttle to work.

Using your Shifter
One of the special features of your new bicycle is its mid-drive motor.
This design allows the motor, as well as the rider, to take advantage of
gear changes in the shifting system, improving efficiency. To get the
most out of the mid-drive motor, you need to shift gearing.
As the bike gains speed, progressively
shift up through the gears (1-2-3).
"1" is the lowest gear
"2" is mid range
"3" is the highest gear.
If you encounter a hill or strong headwind, shift down to a
lower gear. Shifting can happen when the bike is stopped.
In general, when starting from a stop,
you should be in a low gear (1).
