PAS (Pedal assist modes)
Pedal assist modes start from 1 and go up to 5 . PAS level 1 is the first pedal assist level and will give
you some slight assistance.
The rider however will still be doing most of the work. As you select the higher levels, the assistance
will increase with level 5 basically doing all the work for you. Using higher levels of PAS will drain the
battery faster. The recommended level is PAS 2-3 to ensure maximum battery life.
The higher the gear the faster the speed you'll get from the bike. On PAS 5 in gear one will give you less top
speed than being in gear 7.
BRAKES
The Scout electric bikes are equipped Tektro hydraulic disk brakes. Please be aware the hydraulic disk
brakes are very powerful, so care is too be taken when braking. The front wheel brake is located on
left hand side with the rear wheel brake on the right. All the brakes are equipped with a cut-out
feature which means if either of the brakes are pressed the motor will automatically cut out.
FRONT BASKET
A front basket comes with the Scout bikes. This is optional if you put on or not. Please note, if you put
the front basket on the front handlebars cannot be folded down.
TYRE PRESSURE
To avoid flats, keep tyre pressure at the recommended PSI. On off-road terrain a slightly lower PSI will
provide more grip, but flats can occur.
WARNING Caution should be exercised when inflating tires with compressor air pressure equipment
(e.g. gas stations). Due to the relatively small volume of air required be sure not to overinflate the
tires as this can cause them to burst. Correct tire pressure should be adjusted according to the terrain
within the range of. 10 to 30 psi
DRIVING RANGE
The range of your Scout Bike is the distance the bike will travel on a single full charge of the onboard
battery pack. The range values in this manual are estimates based on expected usage characteristics.
Some of the factors which effect range include changes in elevation, speed, payload, and acceleration,
number of starts and stops and ambient air temperatures. Tire pressure and terrain are also important
variables to consider.
We suggest that you ride conservatively when you first get your Scout Bike to get to know your bike
and travel routes.
Once you become familiar with the range requirements of your travel routes, and the capabilities of
your Scout Bikes you can then adjust you riding characteristics if you so desire.
The following table provides general estimates and outlines various factors effecting range and their
combined estimated effects on range. This table is meant to help owners understand the factors that
can increase of decrease range, but Scout Bikes makes no claims to the range that individual users
might obtain
