5. Operating Instructions
Familiarize yourself with the controls and functions before riding.
5.1 Powering On/Off
To power on the tricycle, press and hold the power button on the handlebar display. To power off, press and hold the same button until the display turns off.
5.2 Display Functions
The smart LED display shows battery level, speed (km/h or mph), pedal assist level (PAS), and trip distance. Use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the pedal assist level (0-5). Level 0 is no assist, and Level 5 provides maximum motor assistance.
5.3 Riding Modes
- Pedal Assist Mode: The motor provides assistance as you pedal. The level of assistance is determined by the PAS setting.
- Throttle Mode: Use the thumb throttle to engage the motor without pedaling. This mode is ideal for quick acceleration or maintaining speed without effort.
- Manual Mode: Ride the tricycle like a traditional bicycle without any motor assistance.
5.4 Gear Shifting (Shimano 6-Speed)
The tricycle features a Shimano 6-speed gear system. Use the shifter on the handlebar to change gears. Shift to lower gears for climbing hills and higher gears for flat terrain or downhill riding. Shift smoothly to avoid strain on the drivetrain.
5.5 Braking System (Dual Disc Brakes)
The tricycle is equipped with front and rear dual disc brakes for reliable stopping power. Apply both brake levers simultaneously for balanced and effective braking. The brake levers also feature a parking brake function for securing the tricycle when stationary.
