The motor will stop if the brake lever is epresse even if you are have the throttle
epresse /engage .
This mo e will give you a Me ium to low “miles per charge” of battery power use among
the pe al assist mo es, epen ing on your throttle use
To switch back to pe al assist mo es, press the “UP” button until you reach the esire
PAS level.
3. Fully Electric Mode –
To ri e the bike fully on “Electric Mo e”, switch “ON” the bike by pressing an hol ing the
“MODE” button on the Pa locate to the left of the han lebar.
Place the PAS on any level you esire, because while the thumb throttle is engage , the

Depress the thumb throttle in any increments of power you esire to power the motor of the
bicycle an it will take off.
This mo e can be use in conjunction with any of the above mo es as the amount of motor
power supplie while twisting the thumb throttle overri es whatever mo e the PAS Level
the system is engage in.
You can engage this mo e whenever you want as long as the system is turne “ON”.
While pe ling will lighten the loa eman on the electric motor, you o NOT nee to
pe al in this mo e of operation.

How to read the Battery Meters and about the Li-on battery
There are 2 Battery meters on your bike. 1 is locate conveniently on the top of the LCD screen on
the han le bar. The 4 re Bar graph in icates the state of the battery ischarge. The other Battery
meter is locate on to the top rear of battery with 4 green an 1 re LEDs showing the current
capacity of the battery in various states of ischarge.
As with any Lithium-ion batteries, there are a limite number of times a battery can be charge . While
priming Lithium-ion batteries are not necessary (which means it may be charge whenever you want
without affecting its charge capacity), the number of times it is charge oes affect the overall
longevity of the battery life.
To conserve battery power, switch off the electrical system by pressing the “ON/OFF” button on the
meter on the left of the han lebar, when the electric power is not nee e .
! NOTE: You can remove the keys from the bike after locking the battery onto the rack. You will nee
