6.2 Basic Functions and Settings

The display provides various information and allows for basic adjustments. Specific functions and their control are often managed by the e-bike's main controller.

  • Backlight Brightness: The display backlight can be adjusted from level 1 (dimmest) to level 5 (brightest). Use the - and + buttons to navigate through settings and adjust brightness.

  • Key-Assisted Throttle: This feature provides a key-activated throttle function, typically limited to 6 km/h (3.7 mph) for walking assistance. Refer to your e-bike's main controller manual for activation details.
  • Wheel Diameter: The wheel diameter setting is controlled by the e-bike's main controller. Ensure this is correctly configured for accurate speed and distance readings.
  • Throttle Range: The throttle range is managed by the e-bike's main controller and typically has a memory function, retaining your last setting.
  • Speed Limit: The overall speed limit of the e-bike system is controlled by the main controller, not directly by the display.

For advanced settings or parameters not directly adjustable via the display buttons, please refer to your e-bike's main controller manual or consult with your e-bike manufacturer.

  • Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the e-bike and display in a dry, temperate environment, away from direct sunlight.
