PEDAL ASSIST MODE:
Pedal Assist mode is always active when the LED Power Indicator is powered on. Selecting (+) or (–) on
the LED Power Indicator will give you five different levels of electric assist from the hub motor when
pedaling. Simply choose the amount of assistance you desire and pedal the bike like a normal bicycle.
You can choose gears from the right trigger-shifter to pick a gear suitable for your riding terrain as well.
Gearing on the right trigger-shifter is easiest in the smallest numbers (gears 1, 2 for hills,) normal for the
middle numbers (gears 3,4,5 for standard riding,) and hardest for the highest numbers (gears 6, 7,8 for
straightaways and downhill riding.)
For safety, Pedal Assist mode will automatically stop providing power when you stop pedaling. The
brake levers also act as a safety switch to remove power from the hub motor. This prevents accidental
acceleration from pedal inputs while brakes are being applied.

THROTTLE ASSIST MODE:
Using Throttle Assist while pedaling will produce an additional boost of electric assist for hills and quick
acceleration, and will only activate after pedaling at least one revolution. Twisting the throttle
rearward while pedaling will give you extra help on hills, help you accelerate around other riders, or will
simply let you take a break from pedaling for a moment. Throttle Assist mode will only activate if
pedaling, but once activated you can stop pedaling and enjoy the ride until you release the throttle
again. Throttle Assist will override any Pedal Assist settings to provide up to 100% of available power,
and is limited to a top bicycle speed of 20mph due to federal safety regulations.
Remember that this Throttle Assist mode will reduce the range of your battery, so enjoy it
conservatively for best battery life and riding range.
The brake levers will still act as a safety switch to remove power from the hub motor. This prevents
accidental acceleration from throttle inputs while brakes are being applied.
