How to ride your eBike
The functions of your eBike are operated with the buttons of the control switch on the handlebar.
Front light control and power assist levels are controlled via the handlebar control switch.
Set off for your first ride in the lowest power assist setting (“Comfort”). Gradually increase power assist levels as
you become accustomed to the power application. Practice typical riding actions (starting off, turning the bike,
stopping the bike) to become accustomed to the different handling from that of a conventional bicycle.
Pedal assistance
When power assistance is engaged, the mid drive motor will
automatically apply power during pedaling. Sensors within the
motor measure your pedaling and control the automated power
assistance according to the power assist setting chosen. The level
of power supplied to the drive train depends on power assist
setting chosen, speed and amount of force applied to the pedals.
Power assistance switches off when applicable
maximum speed is reached.
Be mindful that the power assistance may
require changes to riding style.
Be sure to cease pedaling earlier than usual before cornering or
stopping, to disengage the pedal assist and navigate safely.
Do a test ride on private roads or a private space before
riding on public roads or infrastructure. Make yourself
familiar with the increased acceleration and become
accustomed to the braking distances. Never ride
without a region-specific fully certified helmet.
Do not step on the pedals before being fully seated on the bike.
If any of the power assistance modes are engaged, pressure
on one pedal will engage the mid drive motor and could
cause an accident. Always have the brakes ready to engage
when you first set off with power assist levels switched on.
Due to the increased power through the drive train, rear
tire traction may be marginally reduced. Keep this in mind
when riding in adverse conditions (for example wet road
surfaces, snow or gravel). Always ride to the conditions.
Note that other road or trail users may underestimate your
speed. Always wear reflective and suitably bright clothing.
