HOW TO OPERATE THE BOTTLE ROCKET

Once you’ve assembled your Synergy Kahuna and fully charged the battery until the indicator light has turned green, you’re ready to ride!
Just follow these simple steps and your off:

Turn on the SYNERGY BOTTLE ROCKET by pressing and holding the power button in the center of the black box display module. As soon as the display turns on, release the button.
You will notice “low, mid, high” on the top of the display. By pressing the “+” or “-“, you can set your pedal assist to your desired level, as these buttons increase and decrease your pedal assist. The higher the level of pedal assist, the more assistance you will get from the bike’s motor.
When in the “low” pedal assist level, pressing the “- ” once more will turn the pedal assist level to 0, and the BOTTLE ROCKET will function like a normal non-motorized bike.
To start your ride, simply begin pedaling! It is recommended to begin pedaling in the lowest level of pedal assist until you are used to the acceleration. Once you are comfortable in the “low” setting, you can begin to pedal at a higher assist level.
When your ride is over, lower your pedal assist level back down to 0, and then press and hold the power button on the display module. Once the indicator lights turn off, release the power button. The bike is now turned off.
If your battery is lower than 70% charged, be sure to charge it after your ride!
