OPERATIONS

UNDERSTANDING THE BIKE EQUIPMENT

Lights

• Long press the “+” button to turn on lights. Repeat to turn off. This activates the front, rear, and brake lights. They run off the bike battery.
• No extra battery is needed. They turn off when the bike is turned off.

Dual-crown Suspension Fork
Adjustable preload and lockout feature

How do dual crown forks work?
Double crown forks attach both above and below the head tube, hence the name double crown. Single crowns mount only below the head tube, meaning that they can be made far lighter, and are more maneuverable but are less stiff.

• Preload will adjust how stiff the fork is. More plush ( soft), or hard to compress.
• Lockout will LOCK the fork out, as a rigid fork ( no suspension) would be like, which makes it a no-front suspension bike. This is handy for riding on the road because when pumping hard a lot of the power you use to go forward is being absorbed by the fork compressing. This prevents that.

Shimano 7 Speed Gear Shift System

• The current gear setting is shown on the gear control.
• Push the button to go to a higher gear.
• Push the lever to go to a lower gear.
• These gears range from 1, which is the lowest and easiest gear, to 7, which may be. referred to as a high gear” and is most suitable for riding fast downhill or on the flat.
• You want to shift to an easier/lower gear on climbs, or when you’re riding into the wind.
• Use a higher gear on flats or if the wind is blowing from behind (a tailwind).
• Going up inclines at higher gear settings while using the motor is not recommended as it can result in damage to the electric motor.

USING THE POWER FEATURES OF THE ELECTRIC BIKE MOTOR

Walk Mode
With the bike on and stationary long press the “” button and hold. (The bike can lurch at first.) To end walk mode release the “” button.

Power Assist (PA)

• Use PA with the rider mounted and pedalling.
• Press the “+” or ” button to increase or lower Power Assist.
• The bike uses Smart Sensors which “provides an intelligent riding experience.
• These sensors detect the rider’s movements and adjust the bike’s speed and power accordingly, making it easier and safer to ride.” PA works best if the top speed of the bike is set at the upper limit of 35 KM/H.
• PA 1-5 provide a boost to the set speeds shown below. These speeds can vary and are based on the reports of experienced riders.

(A bike can travel up to a 55-mile range in PA.)

• Pa1: 11MPH, 13 MPH with more active peddling
• PA2:13 MPH, 14 MPH with more active peddling
• PA3:16 MPH, 17 MPH with more active peddling
• PA4:18 MPH, 20 MPH with more active peddling
• PA5:22 MPH, 20 MPH with more active peddling

At the higher PA levels more active peddling becomes less effective.

Throttle

• The throttle is activated by pushing the throttle switch. It can be used with or without peddling. With throttle only (no peddling) top speed is up to 22 MPH, and distance is up to 35 miles.
• Note: Throttle is linked to PA. PA needs to be on to use Throttle.
• If not peddling, the set PA’s top speed is the throttle top speed.

Cruise control
Fully depress the throttle for ~ 5 seconds and the CC sets at the PA speed setting.

Power Indicator
The power indicator appears at the bottom left of the screen when the motor is ON. It is a growing/receding L to R green bar which indicates how much power is being used.
