FreegoEV DK200 - Pedal Assist System (PAS); Battery Capacity Meter, Riding Style and Affect on Range

Pedal Assist System (PAS)
• You can 󽘀nd the assist buttons (marked with + and -) on the LCD Display Panel.
Each time the + button is pressed, the LCD will move between 1 and 5 levels and the
corresponding power level increases in increments of 25%. Setting 5 provides 100% power.
• The default level is set to 1 when the bike is 󽘀rst turned on. We recommend that you only
turn on the bike after you have mounted the bike so the motor is deactivated. Once on the
bike, press the on button for three seconds and the assistance will be turned on. You can
start o󽗿 in any level, if you are on a hill for instance you may want to start in level 2,3,4 or
even 5.
• Setting 5 is generally used when you need the maximum amount of assistance from the
motor, but this will drain the battery the fastest. Lower settings are used when you do not
need the assistance at 100% power. In high tra󽘂c situations or poor conditions such as ice
and snow, instant full power could be dangerous. Power settings can be changed when the
bike is stationary or when on the move.
Battery Capacity Meter, Riding Style and A󽗿ect on Range
• The range of the bike (distance covered between recharging of the battery) is greatly
in󽘁uenced by the level of assist selected, the amount of pedal assistance provided by the
rider and the use of the throttle.
If a high level of assist is selected, then the range of the bike will be reduced compared to
using a lower level of assist.
• The sensor system detects the speed the pedal cranks are turning and this information
is fed into the on board computer (controller) to give the rider the most natural riding
experience possible.
• The battery capacity indicator is provided to give an approximation of battery capacity
remaining. However, this indicator relies on sensing battery voltage that will rise and
fall depending on the amount of power being demanded at any given time, ambient
temperatures etc, hence the meter should only be used for indication purposes.
• Under heavy power situations (full throttle or high levels of assist) the battery voltage
will temporarily dip resulting in the capacity meter showing a lower level of charge. When
the heavy power usage is reduced, the capacity meter will rise again as the battery naturally
recovers its voltage.
