frame and components, please refer to the Owner’s Manual.
Recommended structural weight limits are based on International Standards
Organization (ISO) 4210 testing standards (for cargo and rider only).
5. GENERAL NOTES ABOUT RIDING
The Vado motor provides pedal assistance only while you are pedaling and the bicycle is in
motion. The amount of pedal assistance will be higher or lower depending on the amount of
force applied to the pedals. If you stop pedaling, the motor will stop providing any assistance.
The Vado bicycle can also be ridden like a normal bicycle without motor assistance by switching
the display to the OFF mode. The same applies if the battery charge drops below 4%.
The Vado bicycle has a walk-assist mode (the motor engages without pedal force being
applied) which is designed to provide assistance when walking the bicycle up a hill, up to and
not exceeding a speed of 6 km/h (3.7 mph), so long as the (+) button is pressed down.
5.1. RIDING TIPS
Because of the electric motor assist, the Vado offers a unique riding experience compared to
a bicycle without motor assist. Below are some riding tips which may also reduce component
wear and increase battery range:
Pay attention to your speed going into a corner and be sure to stop pedaling well before
entering the corner. Otherwise, you may carry too much speed when entering a corner.
Ride at a comfortable efficient cadence, and look ahead.
When braking force is applied, more energy is needed to get the bicycle back up to speed.
Shift gears regularly to stay in an optimal cadence range and downshift before coming to a stop.
Reduce pedal force before initiating a gear shift to reduce drivetrain wear.
Braking while steering may reduce the ability to control your bicycle.
Check the tire pressure regularly. Low pressure can cause the tires to roll inefficiently.
Do not expose your bicycle to prolonged excessive heat (e.g. direct sunlight).
Only carry the cargo you need. More weight will drain the battery faster.
If you plan to ride your bicycle in cooler temperatures (0 °C - 32 °F), keep it stored indoors
until just before riding.
WARNING! The motor support is activated as soon as you step onto the pedals
and the bicycle is in motion. You should be seated on the bicycle and engage
at least one brake before starting to pedal. Do not put one foot on a pedal and
throw a leg over the bicycle, as it could accelerate unexpectedly. Failure to
follow this warning may result in serious personal injury or even death.
