Have the battery charged
Check the throttle for free operation,
prior to turning on the bike.

The seat should be adjusted for each rider. It

Place the battery in
the frame mount.

until the display turns
on.

There are two ways to check the charge
level of the battery.
1. The charge level is shown on the display
in the form of a small battery. When the
last segment of the battery is flashing,
the battery is nearly empty.
2. Push the button on the battery and the
led will light up. There are five LED. As
the battery is drained, each LED will go
off. The LED are not as accurate as the
display for battery charge level.

On the Pioneer Allroad, there are two ways to
engage the motor.
1. Thumb Throttle
2. By Pedaling (Pedalec)
The thumb throttle is located on the right
handlebar. Push the thumb throttle forward to
engage the motor.
Alternatively, you can just start pedaling
and the motor will engage. Both methods have
their advantages.
It is nice to use the throttle when
accelerating from a stop, while the pedal
activation is nice when you are riding down a
longer street.
When you stop pedaling the motor will
stop. It will take a second for the power to stop.
If you desire to stop quicker, pull the Rear Brake
lever (located on the right handlebar) and this
will instantly stop the motor.
Pulling on the brake lever will always stop
the motor instantly.

The Pioneer Allroad had 5 Assist
Levels for the Motor.
When the bike first turns on it will
be in Assist Level 1, which is lowest
power level.
To increase the Assist level, push
the “+” Button on the keypad.
The Assist Level is shown on the
display.
Level 5 is the highest level of assist.
To reduce the level, push the “-“
button on keypad.
To turn off the pedal assist, keep
pushing the “-“ button until the “0”
level is displayed
When the Power Assist is at “0”, the
Thumb throttle will also not work.

Riding in higher assist levels will increase speed,
but reduce the run time of the battery.
