PACE 500 QUICK START GUIDE
(Throttle On Demand)
GETTING STARTED
First, turn on the power switch on the battery itself. Then press and hold the [M button] on the control pad for 3 seconds to power up the system. While the bike and display are powered on, press and hold [M button] for 3 seconds to turn off.
The Pace 500 E-Bike offers pedal assist. When using pedal assist, an electric motor supplements the rider's own effort. To use the pedal assist, simply start pedaling, then tap the [up arrow] or [down arrow] arrows to increase or decrease the amount of pedal assist. Pedal assist will engage at speeds up to 28 MPH.
The Pace 500 E-Bike is equipped with a throttle, which is mounted near the rider's left thumb, to propel the bike without pedaling. You can engage the throttle anytime including from a complete stop while in PAS 1 through 5. However, we strongly encourage you to pedal first before engaging the throttle. The throttle can propel you at speeds up to 20 MPH.
The motor stops when you: stop pedaling, squeeze the brake levers, or release the throttle. Simply start pedaling again to re-engage the motor.
BATTERY AND CHARGING
We recommend charging the battery off the bike indoors, in moderate temperature conditions. To charge the battery, plug the charger into the charging port and then connect the charger to a wall outlet. The LED indicator light will be red when charging and will turn green when charging is complete.

Properly maintaining your Pace 500 ensures it's longevity and smooth operation. Before assembling your bike, please watch the "How To Assemble" video we've prepared for you. If you have questions during the assembly process, please contact Aventon at (866) 300-3311 or email info@aventon.com.
