MOTOR CONTROL

Pedal Assist System (PAS)
The pedal assist system (PAS) augments your natural pedaling action by providing an additional boost from the motor. Using the “+” and “-” buttons on the display, you can control the level of assistance provided by the motor. As the PAS level is increased, the amount of assistance increases, and the faster you will go. The PAS power will depend on several factors including, but not limited to:

• Riding terrain (flat vs. incline)
• Total payload
• Desired range

The gear shifter will not affect the performance of the hub motor or pedal assist system, however, it will affect the amount of resistance you feel. Lower gears provide less resistance with a higher pedaling cadence. Higher gears provide more resistance and a slower pedaling cadence. Some experimentation will be necessary to dial in the combination of PAS level and gear setting that offers a smooth ride based on your preference.

Throttle
The throttle provides an alternate way to power the motor if you do not want to pedal. If the bike is powered on, the throttle can be activated by slowly twisting it towards you. The throttle can also be used in addition to the pedal assist system. When only using the throttle, the maximum speed of the bike will be capped at 20MPH.

Note:
Using the bike in throttle-only mode will more quickly deplete the battery when compared to using pedal assist.

WARNING!
Do not twist the throttle when dismounted to avoid accidental acceleration of the bike.
