Specific riding maneuvers
There are some maneuvers that should be
avoided when riding a power assisted
bicycle. A sudden, ignition of the power
assist system in an unexpected situation
can cause the bicycle to accelerate when
it is not required and handle erratically.
In the following riding situations, it is
recommended not to put pressure on the
pedals to avoid a sudden acceleration
from the power assist system:
▪ While walking besides the bicycle.
▪ While taking a curve at high speed.
▪ While riding on a patch of water, mud,
snow, ice, or any slippery surface.
▪ While lifting the front wheel up to clear
an obstacle.
Choosing a power assistance mode
Once the system is powered up, you may
want to choose your power assistance
level. This will change the amount of
power assistance that the motor provides
you while pedalling.
It is recommended to start off with the
lowest level of assistance and increase it
gradually if needed. Doing so will offer a
much smoother acceleration, helping you
to keep control over your speed as well as
to save the battery’s capacity.
Keep the assistance level lower while
riding casually on flat surfaces. Increase
the assistance level when approaching an
incline to help you climb with less effort.
If you wish to walk beside the bicycle on
an incline or if the bicycle is heavy to push
because of the load it is carrying, you may
want to use the Walk mode that will make
the bicycle self propel at a speed of 6
Km/h.
Power assist level and modes
Your power assist system can be used at
many levels and on different modes. Get
to know each of the options available so
you can choose the right one for each
riding situation.
The LCD screen unit shows which power
assist level or mode you’re currently in.
Use a power assist level according to the
current riding conditions. Choose a high
assistance level when going uphill or
against a head wind and switch to a lower
assistance level if you are riding on a flat
road or with a tail wind.
To shift through power assist levels:
Switch through the 6 power assist levels
(0 > 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5) using the LCD
controller’s and buttons.
