Cycling with power assistance
• The pedal assistance is legally limited to a speed of
25 km/h (16 mph). This means that if you are going
towards a speed of 25 km/h (16 mph) the pedal
power will decrease to zero gradually.
* Aenon! Turn the assistance to level 0 or o when
you step o the bicycle. Never walk with enabled
assistance. It can be dangerous to walk with a
bicycle with enabled power assistance, because the
pedals can rotate per accident, and the motor will
provide power and the bicycle can run o! This is
only applicable to for models with a rotaonsensor
(rearmotor models).
* Aenon! Always ride with your ngers on the
brake levers, so that you can react quickly when you
need to brake. Stop pedalling while braking, and try
to brake with both brake levers simultaneously and
with the same braking force. Keep the le brake lever
(if present) pressed in when you are staonary with
enabled power assistance.
* Aenon! Turn the assistance o when you want to
drive very calmly or with bad or slippery roads.
Further informaon on pedal assistance
• Due to the powerful support you will achieve high
speeds more easily than usual. To avoid surprises,
use the bike in a low trac environment for the
rst me, to get used to the bike. If you ride the
bicycle for the rst me it is advisable to only turn
on the pedal assistance aer you have already
reached speeds around 12 km/h.
• If the pedal assistance is turned on, stepping on
the bike is not like a normal bike. You will drive o
easier. It is advisable to use powerlevel 1 - 3, for
driving away from stand.
• When the pedal assistance is turned o, the bicycle
will have very minimal resistance. In this way, the
bicycle can also be used a normal bike. However,
be careful that if you ride without a baery, the
lighng will not work.
• The funconing of the pedal assistance depends on
the cycling speed (on midmotor models also on the
pedal force and the cadence speed), the set power
level program and how full the baery is.
