MOTOR CONTROL
Pedal Assist System (PAS)
The pedal assist system (PAS) augments your natural pedaling action by providing
an additional boost from the motor. Using the “+” and “-” buttons on the display,
you can control the level of assistance provided by the motor. As the PAS level is
increased, the amount of assistance increases and the faster you will go. The PAS
power will depend on several factors including, but not limited to:
• Riding terrain (flat vs. incline)
• Total payload
• Desired range
The gear shifter will not aect the performance of the hub motor or pedal assist system,
however it will aect the amount of resistance you feel. Lower gears provide less resistance
with a higher pedaling cadence. Higher gears provide more resistance and a slower
pedaling cadence. Some experimentation will be necessary to dial in the combination of
PAS level and gear setting that oers a smooth ride based on your preference.
Throttle
The throttle provides an alternate way to power the motor if you do not want to pedal.
If the bike is powered on, the throttle can be activated by slowly twisting it towards
you. The throttle can also be used in addition to the pedal assist system. When only
using the throttle, the maximum speed of the bike will be capped at 20MPH.
Note: Using the bike in throttle-only mode will more quickly deplete the battery when
compared to using pedal assist.
