• When a rider turns the Power Control Switch to "L" or "R" (or pushes "ON" on the
RideControl Command Center on the single EnergyPak model), the Hybrid Cycling
Technology bicycle provides Hybrid Power in the "NORMAL" mode as the rider pedals.
• If the rider wants to go faster, press the Assist Mode Select button to "SPORT" mode.
• Press the Assist Mode Select button to "ECO" mode to extend the range.
• When speed reaches 15 mph, the bicycle's motor will automatically disengage and Hybrid
Power will cease assistance. When speed drops below 15 mph, Hybrid Power will assist
the rider once again.

charged and securely mounted.
4. Self-Test Indicator
The Self-Test system can help determine if two components, the PedalPlus Power Sensor and
the SyncDrive Motor, are working properly. To begin the Self-Test, make sure the Hybrid Cycling
Technology bicycle is resting on its kickstand on a flat, level surface and the power to the bicycle is
"OFF." Place the right pedal forward in the "3:00 o'clock" position.
A. PEDAL PLUS POWER SENSOR TEST - Press the "Function button" and – at the same
time – turn the Power Control Switch to either "R" or "L". On a single EnergyPak model,
press the "Function button" and press the "ON/OFF" button at the same time. On both
models, one or more of the LED's from L2 to L5 on the RideControl Command Center
should illuminate.
B. While standing on the right side of the bicycle, steady it by holding the saddle with your left
hand. Then step down on the right pedal while squeezing the right brake lever with your
right hand. Don't let the rear wheel move. L1, L2, L3 and L4 should light up in order on the
RideControl Command Center, depending on the pressure you've generated while stepping
on the right pedal. The harder you push down on the pedal, the more LED's (up to L4) will
light up.
C. SYNCDRIVE MOTOR TEST - Next, carefully lift the front of the bicycle off the ground and
gently spin the front wheel backward. L2, L3 and L4 should light up on the RideControl
Command Center and flash in sequence as the wheel spins. Stop the wheel from spinning
and carefully place it back on the ground.
If the Hybrid Cycling Technology bicycle passes these two tests, it indicates the components are
working properly. To ride again, turn the Power Control Switch to "OFF" and then back to "R" or "L"
on the two EnergyPak model. Or push the "ON/OFF" switch on the RideControl Command Center
to "OFF" and then back to "ON" in the single EnergyPak model to ride again.
If the bicycle did not pass either or both of these tests, bring it to your Authorized Giant Dealer
for service.
