E-BIKE SYSTEMS
The e-Bike Systems are designed to give you the optimal amount of
power assist.
It assists you within a standard range based on factors such as your pedaling strength, bicycle
speed, and current gear.
The e-Bike Systems do not operate in the following situations:
• When the display unit’s power is off.
• When you are moving 45 km/h or faster.
• When you are not pedaling.
• When there is no residual battery capacity.
• When the automatic power off function* is operating.
* Power turns off automatically when you do not use the e-Bike Systems for 5 minutes.
• When the assist mode is set to Off mode.
• When the running assist switch is released.
• When the display unit is removed.
Four types of “assist mode” + Off mode are available.
Choose from High-Performance mode, Standard mode, Eco mode, +Eco mode and Off mode to
suit your riding conditions. See “Displaying and switching the assist mode” for information on
switching between assist modes.
High-Performance mode Use when you want to ride more comfortably, such as when
climbing a steep hill.
Standard mode Use when riding on flat roads or climbing gentle hills.
Eco mode
+Eco mode Use when you want to ride as far as possible.
Off mode Use when you want to ride without power assist. You can still use
the other display unit functions.
