Helio Electric Cycle - Handlebar Controls and Lights; Light Switch Operation; Horn and Turn Signals

Owners manual
E If you have the time, always completely recharge your Helio Cycle. The
batteries will last much longer that way. Avoid letting your Helio Cycle sit for
an extended period of time with the batteries depleted.
E A new Helio may experience shorter than expected range for the first few
rides. After 10 long rides and full recharges, your Helio should provide full
range.
The Light Switch
The slide switch on the left handlebar operates the headlight. It is extremely self-
explanatory. We include this explanation merely for reasons of completeness. To turn
on the lights, activate the switch. (Note: this switch does not operate the brake light.
The brake light illuminates automatically whenever you decelerate and the brake light
also activates when the brake levers are activated.
E Riding with your lights on will increase your visibility in traffic. However
the lights use current from the battery and so riding with your lights on will
reduce the operational range of your Helio Cycle. Of course, always ride with
your lights on at night, when visibility is reduced, or when required by law.
Handlebar switches
The instrument panel on the front dash of the chassis includes the On/Off and
Performance switch, the Range Indicator, the Charging Inlet, and the Charging
Status Indicators. Lighting, horn, and turn indicator controls can be found on the left
side of your handlebars. On the left handlebar grip control there are two switches
and one button.
The swit
ch on top is the light switch
Slide this switch vertically and the headlight, tail light and rear plate light should
illuminate.
The switch in the mi
ddle is the directional signals
Just as you would expect, if you slide the switch to the left, the left turn signal flashes.
If you slide the switch to the right, the right turn signal flashes.
The button is the horn
Give that little button a press and you will hear the Helio horn. Just enough to let
people and cars around you know that you are coming through.
E Lights, directionals and horn will only work if the key is turned on.
The Brakes
Your Helio Cycle has two independent braking systems. The primary braking system
is an automatic electronic braking system that engages whenever the throttle is
