Preface
Congratulations on the purchase of an exceptional bike from Pacific Cycles! These instructions will take
you through getting the most out of your new IF Reach dc. Read them carefully before using your new
bike.
Introduction
IF Reach dc operates like a normal bike when in power-off mode.
With the design of Intelligent Preferred Pedal Activated Power (IPPAP), the motor of IF Reach dc
provides power proportionate to what it senses from pedaling. The motor automatically delivers optimized
power output when dealing with various road conditions to save battery and optimize mileage.
IF Reach dc provides three different output modes:
Economy: less power output and least energy consumption.
Normal: output based on pedaling force.
Turbo: maximum output ideal for uphill riding.
IF Reach dc also features:
Simple switch: the compact switch box fixed on the handlebar can be easily accessed.
Auto power-off mode: after 3 minutes of inactivity.
Auto warning: the orange and green indicator will blink when abnormal detected.
Auto protection: The system will power-off when 25km/h is reached.
