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.
