Battery
Installation:
Your bicycle comes with a 24 volt Lithium-battery. To install the battery, simply
as shown in photo Q.
This type of battery does not have a 'memory', and riding on a partial charge will not harm the battery in
any way. Recharge time for this battery is 4-6 hours to reach a full charge.
Locking:
A lock is integrated into the battery pack to keep it in place while riding. It is recommended that the battery
pack be locked whenever you are riding in order to maintain a strong connection.
included keys (usually in the parts box or rubber-banded to the rack), making sure the lock cylinder fully engages into the rack. All keys included with
your bicycle are identical.

Operation

On Via Rapido bicycles, the electric assist functions are controlled using the handlebar-mounted control
pad below the throttle (Photo S). The red ON/OFF toggle button is used to turn the system on or off,
indicated by the glowing lights on the throttle. The green PAS/TAG toggle button is used to switch between
'PAS' (Pedal Assist) and 'TAG' (Twist and Go) modes. Setting the button to the 'out' position sets the bike
to TAG mode; the 'in' position sets the bike to PAS mode.
On Eco Ride bicycles, the PAS/TAG button is attached to the throttle, but it acts exactly the same as that
of the Via Rapido. The Eco Ride does not have a handlebar-mounted power switch; the switch is located
on the rack between the seat post and the battery. (Photo T)
PAS (Pedal Assist)
In this mode, the twist-throttle is only active when the pedals are in forward motion. A magnet
ring on the bottom bracket spindle rotates when the pedals are turned. A sensor picks up this
rotation and activates the throttle when necessary. After a few seconds of pedaling in this
mode, the motor will automatically spin up to 50% power to provide additional assistance.
TAG (Twist and Go)
In TAG mode, the twist-throttle is always active. The pedal sensor is disabled in this mode,
and the motor will not activate unless the throttle is turned.
