4.0 Understanding your A2B
After having read this section, if you are still unsure, please ask an A2B dealer to explain any functions or features that you do
not understand before your first ride.
4.1 A2B Overview
The A2B has a ’true pedal assist’ function, this means the motor
engages only when the rider is pedalling. So you can get places
under your own steam yet have the comfort of the electric motor
giving you that extra boost along the way.
The A2B is equipped with a Torque Sensor, which means as soon
as you start to pedal, you’ll feel the motor kick in to complement
your pedalling – making riding an effortless pleasure.
4.2 Starting and stopping
1. Wear your helmet and select a quiet area away from cars, other
cyclists, obstacles or other hazards
2. Make sure that the battery is fully recharged.
3. Power ON the electronic system by using the E-key
(see section 4.3).
4. Raise the kickstand into the riding position. DO NOT sit on the
A2B while it is supported by the kickstand, you will damage the
kickstand and, possibly the frame.
5. Mount your A2B and get comfortable.
6. Apply motor power by pedalling the A2B.
7. Test the brakes at slow speed. The right brake lever actuates the
rear brake and the left brake lever actuates the front brake.
Applying brakes too hard can lock up a wheel, which could
cause you to lose control and fall.
Remember that there is a power cut-off switch embedded into
the right brake lever. When you apply the right brake, power to the
motor will turn OFF. Therefore, do not hold the right brake lever
when you want the motor to run.
8. Check out the handling and response of your A2B. Familiarise
yourself with how the suspension responds to application of the
brakes and shifts in rider weight.
