THROTTLES
Throttles are equipped on some models of electric bicycles.
Throttles operate by rotating the throttle towards the rider much
like a motorcycle. They generally are the inner half of the right
side handlebar grip and may also contain a battery gauge. The
more you twist the throttle, the faster the motor system will
propel the bicycle.
TAG (Twist and Go)
Before you begin riding, turn the main power switch on, then
start riding as you would ride any regular, non motor assisted
bicycle. After you have begun to ride, slowly twist the throttle
(on equipped models) towards you. The more you twist the
throttle, the more motor power will be applied to the wheels.
You may feel the pedals get a “lighter” feel than riding without
the motor assisting you. Once you have twisted the throttle all
the way, the motor will accelerate you to its full speed of about
15mph (24 km/h).
PAS (Pedal Activated System)
Electric bicycles with this system have a throttle that is only
active when the pedals are in a forward motion. A sensor ring
on the bottom bracket spindle rotates and a sensor reads this
rotation.
Begin by fi rst riding as if you are on a normal non-electric
bicycle, then while the pedals are in motion slowly twist the
throttle towards you to activate the motor power.
PAS / TAG THROTTLE SWITCH (if equipped)
The type of system enables the rider to select between the PAS
and TAG modes via the red thumb button. Refer to the TAG
and PAS sections to fi nd out how these modes work. Note:
When using the TAG mode you will use more battery power
and thus shorten range of the bicycle.
