The baery capacity indicator gives an approximaon of baery capacity remaining. Each bar on
the LCD approximates to a ¼ of the capacity. However, this indicator relies on sensing baery
voltage that will rise and fall depending on the amount of power being demanded at any given
me, the meter should only be used for indicaon purposes.
Under heavy power draw (full throle or high levels of assist) the baery voltage will temporarily
dip resulng in the capacity meter showing a lower level of charge. When the heavy power usage
is reduced, the capacity meter will rise again as the baery naturally recovers its voltage.
Gears
To change gear, use the 7-speed rapid fire gear shier located on the right side of the handlebar.
The two levers located underneath the shier can be pulled and pushed to select the gears over
the range 1 to 7 .
It is best to start pedalling in 1
st
gear and change to 2
nd
and 3
rd
when you have gained momentum.
Check road is clear, signal and push firmly on pedals. It will take about 4 pedal strokes to get motor
going. Now connue pedalling unl desired speed is reached. If you stop pedalling motor will stop
providing power and the bike will slow down. Note it takes about 2 seconds for the motor to stop.
It will take 2-4 pedal strokes to get the bike going again.
The MID – 3 bars – seng will provide a range of about 30 miles depending on how steep the hills
are and how strong the wind is.
Normally gears 4 or 5 will suit this mode of cycling and provide a speed of 13-14 mph
To climb hills change gears down to 1st or 2nd. Do not stop pedalling unl you reach the top of the
hill.
Using the brakes will stop the motor.
The motor will cut out above 15 mph.
Gear ranges:
1 Start up and steep hills.
2 Start up and 9-10 mph.
3 Start up and 10-11 mph.
4 12-13mph.
5 13-14mph.
6-7 Max assist/higher speeds such as downhill
Always reduce gears to 1-3 before stopping for an easy start.
Quick release saddle height adjustment
The bike is fied with a quick release saddle post fing to facilitate the adjustment of the saddle
height.
It is important that the nut on the fing is ghtened so the post will not move in the seat post
tube. Make this adjustment with the quick release lever in the open posion.
