3. Operating Modes
The DYU D3F offers three distinct riding modes to suit your preference and needs:
- Pure Electric Mode: Engage the throttle for full electric power without pedaling. Ideal for effortless cruising.
- Electric Assist Mode: The motor provides assistance as you pedal, making your ride easier and extending battery life.
- Normal Bike Mode: Ride the bike like a traditional bicycle, relying solely on your pedaling power. The motor is disengaged in this mode.
The bike also features a fixed speed cruise control. To activate, maintain the desired speed for 8 seconds, and the bike will automatically hold that speed without continuous throttle input. Braking or accelerating will disengage cruise control.
