Safe Starting & Stopping - aventon SINCH Owner's Manual

SAFE STARTING & STOPPING
Remember that if pedal assist is turned on, the motor will turn on
and begin to push you forward anytime the pedals rotate (even if
you rotate the pedals unintentionally.) That could be unsafe if you
weren't expecting the motor to turn on.
You should turn o pedal assist (by setting the display to level
zero) when you are not using it to prevent accidentally engaging
the motor on your ebike.
The Sinch throttle can be engaged anytime while on PAS 1
through 5. Keep hands and fingers away from the throttle to
prevent accidental engagement.
The motor interrupt brake levers on Aventon ebikes stop
the motor from running when they are squeezed. This adds
an additional measure of safety - when you are sitting on, or
straddling the bike, but not moving, (for example, when stopped
at a stoplight) get into the habit of squeezing the brake levers.
This habit stops you from accidentally engaging the motor.
Release the brake levers when you begin riding and intend to
use pedal assist again.
The motor interrupt brake levers can also be used to control your
speed in areas where pedal assist is not desired. For example, if
you are riding at slow speed through a farmer's market or
downtown pedestrian mall, you can pedal to propel the bike
forward, while simultaneously lightly dragging the brakes. This
allows you to ride without the motor turning on at all.
