Lafree giant - Position of the Serial Numbers; Frequently Asked Questions

The Lafree power assisted electric bicycle is a
new approach to cycling, bringing together
human power and the power of electronic
technology to create a totally new cycling
experience!
Lafree’s exclusive power assisted pedal
system and Variable Power Control (VPC
Throttle) enhance the enjoyment of riding an
ordinary adult bicycle by giving you an extra
boost for climbing hills or riding into a
headwind-all automatically, efficiently, and
instantly.
Lafree’s advanced on-board torque/speed
sensor automatically adjusts to rider input and
determines how much assistance is needed.
The VPC Throttle feature allows you to
manually override power assisted pedal for
extra and/or prolonged assistance.
PAP: Power-Assisted Pedal
Simply turning the power on activates Power-
Assisted Pedalling. A torque sensor, housed
within the gearbox, “senses” the rider’s input.
The electric motor then responds with
measured power. Pedal input is required for
motor output.
VPC: Variable Power Control
(VPC Throttle)
Variable Power Control allows you to fine-tune
the features already available in the Power-
Assisted mode. You control the amount of power
output simply by twisting the VPC Throttle.
3.1 Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQ’s)
Q: Do I need any special skills or licenses to
ride Lafree?
A: Special permits or licensing may be
required to operate Lafree. Check with your
national regulations. In all instances, it is
essential that you know how to ride a
standard bicycle before attempting to ride
Lafree.
Q: What is the “range” of Lafree’s Energy Set?
A: Your range will vary depending on the road
surface and how much you use the
Variable Power Control (VPC Throttle). The
range of the Energy Set at full VPC Throttle
output on flat terrain with no headwind is
approx. 30-40 km.
Q: How long does it take the Energy Set to
fully charge?
A: Approximately four hours (when battery
has less than 1% remaining energy).
Q: Will the motor assist continue when I put
on the brakes?
A: No. This important safety feature shuts the
motor off any time the brakes are applied.
To resume power assist, simply start
pedalling.
