Power Your Ride
Your Radster ebike has three ways to move you with ease:
Pedal Assist System (PAS)
Adjust the PAS level to the amount of motor help you want while you pedal.
Level 5 = Maximum help.
Level 1 = A little help.
Level 0 = PAS is off.
Throttle on Demand
Twist the throttle to get extra motor power with or without pedaling.
Get a quick boost to get started. Or cruise along without pedaling!
Gears
Downshift to a low gear for easy pedaling (great for starting or for going uphill).
Upshift to a high gear for fast cruising once you’re already up to
speed.
Gears are a mechanical feature independent of the motor and work like the gears on a non-motorized bike.
Motor Class Settings
Your Radster ebike comes with the ability to select the motor class that best suits your riding needs. While the ebike is stopped, use the remote to access the menu screens to change the motor class setting:
Class 1: 20 MPH (32 KM/H) max speed
Class 2: 20 MPH (32 KM/H) max speed
Class 3 Limited: 25 MPH (40 KM/H) max speed
Class 3: 28 MPH (45 KM/H) max speed
- Maximum speed and throttle usage may not be allowed in all areas. Always follow local regulations when selecting a motor class setting for your ebike.
Turn Signals
Your Radster ebike is equipped with a taillight that includes integrated turn signals to help improve your visibility in low light conditions.
Press the desired turn button on the remote before starting a turn, and press the button again when the turn is completed to turn off the signal.
WARNING: Do not substitute turn signals instead of using hand signals when riding your ebike. Always follow local guidelines requiring the use of hand signals when riding, and never assume that other vehicles on the road can see the turn signals when riding.
Security
Your Radster ebike is equipped with optional security features that allow you
to set up a 4-digit passcode or use one of the provided NFC (near field
communication) cards to unlock your ebike at startup. Consult your Owner’s
Manual for details on setting up security features.
WARNING: The integrated security features on your ebike are not intended as a substitute for a lock that allows you to secure your ebike to a fixed object, like a bike rack or railing.

WEAR A HELMET
WARNING: Ebike components like brakes, cables and tires may wear out faster than would be the case for non-motorized bicycles, requiring more service. You must check your ebike before each ride and according to the other checklists in your Owner’s Manual, and have a professional, reputable bike mechanic perform a thorough tune-up following the service intervals described in your Owner’s Manual, or sooner if you discover increased wear. Failure to do so could result in property damage, serious injury, or death.
