6. Operating Instructions

Powering On/Off:

To power on the e-bike, press and hold the power button on the handlebar control panel (refer to Figure 4.1). The display will illuminate. To power off, press and hold the same button until the display turns off.

Pedal Assist System (PAS):

The Myatu MYT-26 features a pedal-assist system that provides motor power as you pedal. Use the '+' and '-' buttons on the control panel to select your desired assist level. Higher levels provide more motor assistance, while lower levels conserve battery life.

Shifting Gears:

Your e-bike is equipped with a Shimano 7-speed gear system. Use the shifter on the right handlebar to change gears. Shift to lower gears for easier pedaling on inclines and higher gears for faster speeds on flat terrain. Always ease off the pedals slightly when shifting to ensure smooth transitions.

Braking:

The e-bike features front and rear mechanical disc brakes. The left lever controls the front brake, and the right lever controls the rear brake. Apply both brakes simultaneously and smoothly for effective stopping. Avoid sudden, hard braking, especially with the front brake, to prevent loss of control.
