Warning
Damage to your e-bike's electrical system may result from any manner, including water intrusion,
which can lead to battery failure, electrical system malfunction, or electrical fire, and consequent
property damage, injury, or death. Follow all recommendations to minimize chance of water damage.
If you have any questions, contact Raddy Product Support.
How the Electrical System Works
This e-bike is equipped with two ways for the rider to use power assistance from the motor to propel
the bike forward: a pedal assist system (PAS) and a twist throttle.
How the Pedal Assist System Works
The user can engage the pedal assist system (PAS) while pedaling, and it will call up assistance from
the motor to help propel the bike forward.
Pedal assist uses a cadence sensor built into the drivetrain of the bike. The sensor detects when the
user revolves the pedals and signals the electric motor to provide the level of pedal assistance (PAS
0-5) that has been selected.
How the Throttle Works
The throttle is located on the right side of the handlebar. The rider can use it with a twist of the throttle
grip to propel the bike forward without pedaling.
To engage the throttle while riding, slowly and carefully rotate it toward yourself. The more you twist,
the more powerfully the throttle will propel the bike forward. Once you release the throttle or apply the
brakes, the throttle will no longer propel the bike forward. Always keep one hand on the brake lever and
be prepared to squeeze the lever to disengage the throttle if needed, or turn off the bike to prevent
accidentally engaging the throttle.
Raddy eTrail Terra is equipped with an on/off switch for the throttle. These switches can be set to "off"
even while the bike electrical system is on in order to prevent use of the throttle. You should not use
your throttle if regulations where you ride prohibit throttle use on e-bikes. It is your responsibility to
research and follow local e-bike regulations and all other traffic law.

Do Not Touch the Brake Rotor
Touch the brake rotor, which has sharp edges and can get very hot while riding, can cause serious
injury, scratches, or burns. The brake rotor heats up from normal friction when the brake pads press
against the brake rotor to slow or stop the bike. Touching the brake rotor with bare skin can also
transfer natural oils to the rotor, which can reduce braking performance. Do not touch the brake rotor,
especially when it's in motion or after you've been riding your bike. Touch the brake rotor only for
necessary maintenance when it is cool, not moving, and while you are wearing gloves or using other
appropriate protective equipment.
