Brake mode, the knob to the right
On the knob to the right, you can put the bike into 3 different braking modes.
This ranges from a freewheel experience, much of what you feel on an MTB,
which is suited for mellow riding on flats, to a hard engine brake, that is similar
to the engine brake on a 4-stroke motorcycle, which is suited for technical riding.
All the energy from the braking goes back into the battery for extended range.
Brake mode 1
No motor brakes. Gives the same sensation as riding a bike, perfect for mellow
riding and the ultimate freedom experience.
Brake mode 2
Moderate engine brake. As you release the throttle you feel the bike slowing
down at a slow pace. This can boost your confidence when riding a bit more
technical terrain as you get better control over the bike. The braking power is
regenerated to the battery for extra range.
Brake mode 3
Hard engine break. When releasing the throttle, the bike will slow down
significantly. This could be uncomfortable for novice riders as the braking
is quite hard. This brake mode is best suited for technical tracks where full
control for the bike is needed. All the braking power is regenerated to back
to charge the battery for extended range.
Power mode, the knob to the left
There are 3 different power modes to choose from when riding the bike.
Never ride the bike above your comfort level and always ride according to
your personal riding skills. We always recommend a new CAKE-rider to start
on the first mode to get used to the bike and the differences between an
electric motor and an Internal combustion engine. The 3 different ride modes
have different attributes in terms of top speed, acceleration, and torque to
suit riders of all riding levels, from beginners to professionals.
Power mode 1 - Easy
This mode is ALWAYS recommended when riding a CAKE bike for the first
time. It has a limited top speed of 45 km/h (28 mph) and soft acceleration.
