5. Operation

5.1 Riding Modes

The F6 Pro-S offers three distinct riding modes:

1. Riding Mode (Pedal Only): Operate the bike solely by pedaling, without electric assistance.
2. Assist Mode: Press the power button and pedal. The electric motor provides assistance, reducing rider fatigue and extending range. This mode combines pedaling with electric propulsion.
3. Pure Electric Mode: Press the ON button and use only the throttle for fully electric driving. This mode has 3 gears corresponding to different speed limits.

5.2 Speed Control

In pure electric mode, you can switch between 5 speed modes by turning the throttle, offering speeds of 9-19-29-38-45 km/h. The 7-speed mechanical shifting system allows you to adjust pedaling resistance according to terrain and desired effort.

5.3 Braking System

The bike is equipped with reliable front and rear disc brakes. Apply both brakes simultaneously and smoothly for effective stopping. Avoid sudden, hard braking, especially at high speeds or on slippery surfaces, to prevent loss of control.
