The ON/OFF button and Light button
3.2.1
To turn the power on so the pedelec systemis operational, simply press the on/off button
(marked with a c-) on the handle bar controlfor 3 seconds - the LCD symbols will become
visible showing the power is on. When the on/off button is pushed again for 3 seconds and
the LCD symbols become invisible you have turned the bike “off”. When the bike is “off” you
will not get any assistance from the battery and motor and the bike is effectively an
unpowered pushbike. If the bike is left for ten minutes without being ridden, the bike will
automatically turn off. The battery capacity indicator lights provide an indication of the
battery capacity remaining with fourbars indicating the battery is at full capacity. The
display also incorporates a diagnostic function.
3.2.2
The LIGHT buttonis the on/off, C- button found on the LCD. If you presswhen the bike’s
power is on, the LED headlight and rear light will illuminate. The LCD display will also
become back lit. Press it againto switch off the lights. The power for the lights comes from
the bike battery, but due to the low power consumptionof the LED lights, youwill not
noticeably reduce yourrange.
IMPORTANT
Do not press the – (minus) button to turn off the lights as this will activate the walk along
mode and the bike will start to move forward.
3.3
The Throttle
3.3.1
The twist grip throttle can be found on the left hand side of the handlebars. Further details
of the operation are provided below. The twist and go throttle has two functions:
i. To power the bike sufficiently to help when walking the bike to a maximum of 4mph
6km/h. This can also be achieved by pushing the – button for 3 seconds and holding.
ii, To increase the power to the motor when on a level road. The throttle takes the bike out
of torque sensor mode. Your range will decrease if you use this option.
