5.2. Riding Modes

The bike supports three riding modes:

1. Pedal Assist Mode (PAS): The motor provides assistance as you pedal. You can adjust the level of assistance (1-5 levels) via the LCD display. Higher levels provide more power.
2. Full Electric Mode (Throttle): Use the thumb throttle to engage the motor without pedaling. This mode is ideal for quick acceleration or when you need a break from pedaling.
3. Normal Bicycle Mode: Ride the bike like a traditional bicycle without any motor assistance.

5.3. Gear Shifting

Your bike is equipped with a Shimano 7-speed gear system. Use the shifter on the handlebars to change gears according to terrain and desired speed. Shift to lower gears for climbing hills and higher gears for flat terrain or downhill riding.

5.4. Braking

The bike features front and rear dual disc brakes for reliable stopping power. Apply both brakes simultaneously for optimal control and shorter stopping distances. Avoid sudden, hard braking, especially at high speeds.
