When you apply one of the brakes, power assist will automatically stop, allowing
the e-bike to slow down and stop. Power assist will turn itself off when the e-bike
has reached the maximum speed that the power level you choose.
You should use the gear shifter at the handlebar to set the gears appropriately
according to road conditions and pedal, as usual, you will find that you need to
exert a lot less effort and the e-bike travels faster and at a more steady speed.
CRUISE CONTROL
Cruise Control will be triggered when you holding thumb throttle for 8 seconds,
and it will be released by braking/pedaling or throttling.
HAND THROTTLE CONTROL
In the hand throttle mode, amount of power assist is determined by the throttle
switch controlled by your right hand. You control the throttle by twisting it from its
resting position, the farther the throttle switch is from its resting position, the more
power is delivered to the motor to accelerate the e-bike. When you want to slow
down, you simply release the throttle and let it return to its resting position, and
simultaneously apply the brakes if necessary.
You do not need to pedal the e-bike if you use the hand throttle. However, you can
pedal while commanding power assist. If you do pedal to help the movement, you
conserve energy and the charge in the battery will last longer.
MAXIMIZING THE RIDING RANGE
Many factors affect the rate of use of the electrical energy and the riding range.
‣
You should fully charge the battery before a long journey.
‣
Rough road conditions and hilly terrain will consume more energy.
‣
Frequent change of speed will consume more energy.
‣
Carrying more weight on the e-bike will consume more energy.
‣
Keeping the tires properly inflated and keeping the e-bike clean and well
lubricated will save energy.
‣
Making sure that both wheels move freely when brakes are not applied will save
energy. You should check brake adjustments frequently. Pedaling as you ride will
consume less electrical energy and increase the riding range.
‣
When the battery is turned off, your e-bike functions as a regular bicycle. If you
embark on a very long journey, you might want to turn off the battery for long
stretches where the road is level or downhill and pedal the e-bike as a regular
bicycle so that you can conserve electrical energy stored in the battery.
