Operating Instructions
Powering On/Off:
To power on the bike, press and hold the power button on the LED display. To power off, press and hold the same button until the display turns off.
Riding Modes:
Your ENGWE EP-2 Pro offers three riding modes:
- Pure Electric Mode: The motor provides power without pedaling when the boost button is pressed.
- Pedal Assist Mode (PAS): The motor provides assistance as you pedal. The level of assistance can be adjusted via the display.
- Normal Bike Mode: The electric system is off, and the bike functions as a traditional bicycle.
The bike features a torque sensor for a more natural and responsive pedal assist experience, providing power smoothly as you pedal.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bike does not power on | Battery not charged, battery not properly seated, loose electrical connection. | Charge battery, ensure battery is fully inserted and locked, check all visible connections. |
| Motor not assisting | Pedal assist level too low, brake levers engaged, motor error. | Increase pedal assist level on display, ensure brake levers are fully released, restart bike. |
| Short battery range | Under-inflated tires, riding uphill frequently, heavy load, old battery. | Inflate tires to recommended pressure, use lower assist levels on flat terrain, reduce load, consider battery replacement if very old. |
| Brakes squealing or ineffective | Contaminated brake pads/rotors, worn brake pads, loose caliper. | Clean rotors with disc brake cleaner, replace worn pads, tighten caliper bolts. Seek professional help if unsure. |
