Operating Instructions
The HillMiles MileLink1 offers a smooth and powerful riding experience. Here's how to operate your e-bike:
Power On/Off
Locate the power button on the display unit. Press and hold to turn the system on or off.
Pedal Assist System (PAS)
The MileLink1 features a Pedal Assist System. As you pedal, the motor provides assistance. You can typically adjust the level of assistance using buttons on the display unit (e.g., + and - buttons). Higher levels provide more power, while lower levels conserve battery life.
Gears
Your e-bike is equipped with a 7-speed gear system. Use the shifter on the handlebars to change gears according to terrain and desired effort. Shift to a lower gear for climbing hills and a higher gear for flat terrain or descents.
Braking
The hydraulic disc brakes provide responsive and stable stopping power. Apply both front and rear brakes simultaneously for controlled deceleration. Avoid sudden, hard braking, especially at high speeds or on slippery surfaces.
The powerful 250W motor and 65Nm torque enable the MileLink1 to easily tackle inclines up to 30 degrees.
The professional-grade dual-arm suspension significantly reduces vibrations from rough roads, enhancing ride comfort.
