Power response dial:
This is the most important
adjustability feature on the bike. It
must be treated very carefully as
the range of adjustability is
enormous. THIS DIAL IS TO BE
ADJUSTED BY A RESPONSIBLE
ADULT ONLY. The function of this
dial is to adjust the ‘response’ of the
bike. Fully anti-clockwise will give
the slowest throttle response.
Fully clockwise will give the
quickest response. Refer to page xx
for instructions on setting these
controls
ALWAYS start with the slowest
setting, and make changes in very
small increments. It may appear
that the fastest response will be
suitable for a given rider, but it must
be understood that as the response
is made quicker, the power delivery,
and power quantity, is increased.
As an example - at the slowest
setting on flat ground the bike may
only pull 20 amps. At the fastest
response, it will pull 100 amps. This
is a lot of available power. It is a
great feature to have such a range
available, but it MUST be treated with
respect. ALWAYS adjust from lower to
higher, in very small increments.
PLEASE NOTE:
Even at low/slower settings the bike can
still provide 100 amps of power in certain
conditions. Again, this is a great feature.
If a rider is on a steep incline, a lot of
power can be delivered to get them up.
In effect, even if the response is slow, the
power can be high. This must be
understood, and the power treated with
caution and respect.
CHARGE INDICATOR:
The battery charge indicator is located on
the throttle assembly and shows the state
of the batteries. The indicator lights can
be checked at any time to determine if
the main power is off or on. Always turn
the power off and remove the key when
the bike is not in use.
WARNING!
It is very important to keep everyone clear of the bike when changing and
checking the speed and response settings. The dial is sensitive to small
adjustments. Do not guess at changes. Always check before the rider gets back
on to ensure the desired setting is correct for the abilities of the rider.
