The electric assist :

3.4.1
Your bike is electrically assisted: it is equipped with an electric motor, located in the rear wheel. This motor
starts automatically (if the ignition is switched on and the battery is charged) when you pedal and only when
you pedal (except with the "walk assist button").
The assistance is activated by an electromagnetic sensor that cuts the power to the motor when the pedals
stop turning.
The motor also shuts off :
• When you apply one of the two brakes ;
• When you reach the assisted speed limit of 25 km/h ;
This principle allows the motor to give you full power when you need it and saves battery power when you're
on a downhill run or on flat ground.
This energy management allows a longer range and are performed by the electronic controller.
 Please be aware that activating or stopping the assistance may result in sudden acceleration
or deceleration.
3.4.2
The assisted speed of your bike is limited to 25 km/h. At this speed the power to the motor is automatically
cut off.
The assisted range of your bike depends on several parameters:
❖ The weight carried :
The performance of your bike is based on an average rider of 75 kg.
❖ The outside temperature :
The performance is based on an outside temperature of about 20°C. Below this temperature the
performance decreases; however, this decrease is only really noticeable below 5°C.
❖ Battery wear :
Your battery is designed to deliver stable performance for 750 charge/discharge cycles (or 3 years
average use). After these 750 cycles, it is still operational, but its' performance, and therefore your
range, decreases proportionally.
❖ Above all, range depends on the nature of your route :
Theoretical range is defined as a quasi-continuous motor load on flat or gently undulating ground (10
to 20% gradients). If your course is flat and includes a percentage of descents (even slight ones), your
range is increased. If you climb hills of more than 5% (the motor "barely" goes up more than 8%),
your range may decrease proportionally
