The higher number gives more assistance. The number on the app. and the number of lights on the LED display will be the same. Power Meter This shows the amount of power being drawn from the battery. (How hard your Batribike is working). Driving Mode The app. allows you to change the way the power is delivered. There are different "driving modes" to select from dependant on the system* installed on the bike. Speed, Eco / Normal or Set Distance. *Speed Sensor System Assistance is activated by rotating the pedals. · Speed mode. · ECO mode. · Set distance. *Torque Sensor System (Delta Plus) Assistance is activated by pressure on the pedals. · Normal mode. · Set distance. Speed Mode - displays as Speed The help level is defined by a percentage of maximum speed. This provides adjustable SPEED in five selectable steps. Level 1 powers up to 6 mph, whilst level 5 powers up to 15 mph. Each level operates at up to full power, and power cuts out at the selected speed level. The rider can of course propel the bicycle faster than the cut off speed but this will be unassisted. Eco Mode / Normal Mode - displays as Power The help level is defined by best motor performance. The "Eco" mode has five selectable POWER levels. Level 1 gives 20% of the power, level 2 - 40% up to level 5, 100% power. Speed range is from 0 to 15 mph in all levels. The "Eco" mode is also applied when using just the handlebar LED and not the app. Set Distance - displays as mil or km The desired distance is set and the help level is set by the battery's performance. The "Distance" mode evens out the use of the battery to give you assistance across your journey. When selected the assistance bar shows the advised distance available, you can change this using the up and down arrows. See page 18. 16 17 Choose - Settings - Bike - Select mode - Pop-up will auto close - Bike Icon - Mode shown on right OR Choose - Mode - Select mode - Pop-up will auto close - Mode shown on right Set Distance 18 19 When the Set Distance mode is chosen this will show as either mil (miles) or km in the Driving Mode area of the screen. The distance of the journey can be set using the up and down arrows on the display to a maximum of 99km (61 miles). If the Set Distance is the same as or less than the distance remaining in the battery the rider will gain maximum assistance from the motor. If the Set Distance is greater than the remaining distance the controller will reduce the amount of assistance so that the whole journey can be assisted. If there is a large difference between the Remaining distance and the Set Distance the rider will get only minimal assistance. The up and down buttons on the handlebar display can be used as a temporary manual override to the assistance level set by the bike. This will work for a short time before the app. and the controller work together to maintain the assist level required to complete the journey. Left: A small amount of power being used set by the app. Right: Using the manual override to briefly boost the assistance. Weather and terrain will affect the performance of an electric bike. In hilly areas, in a strong headwind, or when the bike is heavily loaded, there will be a significant increase in the power used from the battery and hence the range will decrease accordingly. A lightly loaded bike will achieve higher performance levels. No Assistance - Normal Pedal Bicycle In Speed and Eco modes the assistance level can be set to ZERO, then the motor will not be turned on. Your BATRIBIKE will now act and feel like a normal bicycle. The app. will still record your distance and trip time. Light - where fitted The lights on the bike can be turned on or off using the light icon. The lights can also be accessed via the handlebar unit (see page 5). 20 21 Map The map feature can display your location.
