Battery Gauge
When the throttle or sensor is engaged (powering the motor) and the
bicycle is in motion, the LED’s on the battery gauge (on the throttle or
separate unit) indicate instantaneous line voltage as measured at the
battery terminals -- and not the available energy in the battery pack.
The line voltage will fl uctuate depending on the instantaneous load that
the motor is under. For example, when starting out from a dead stop, or
going up a steep hill, the motor will be under a high load and may show
a reduced number of LED's or show the “Yellow” or even “Red” LED.
When the throttle is disengaged (i.e. no power to the motor due to
the bicycle being stationary or coasting) the LED’s on the throttle will
indicate the voltage of the battery pack. The voltage of the battery pack
will rise when no load is on the motor. The best indication of how much
battery life is remaining is to check the throttle LED’s, after reaching
cruising speed, on a fl at straight road as this will allow the battery
voltage to stabilize and give a much more accurate reading.
