Gear Shifter; Brakes - Wisper 806 Alpino Owner's Manual

13.2 The independent use of the throttle, when available, will enable you to use the
throttle without pedaling. However to achieve optimum performance and life
from the motor it is recommended that large throttle openings from rest be
avoided and that where possible pedal assistance should be used when starting
the bike from rest.
13.3 The use of the throttle in pedelec mode is legal in most countries. Throttle in
pedelec mode enables you to turn up the power to the motor as long as you are
pedaling the bike, if you stop pedaling the motor will stop too. If you have the
pedelec mode set too Low, you can increase the assistance from the motor from
40% to 100% of available power simply but turning the throttle towards you.
IMPORTANT Make sure your throttle grip and the grip on the left hand side of your
handle bars are always intact, in good condition and on the bike. Uncovered handlebar
tubes can be very dangerous in case of a collision. Ensure the spacer fitted between
the throttle and the grip is properly installed.
Warning: The electric motor on your bike is very powerful and if you set of in high
assist mode you may cause the front wheel to spin. This is the same on any
motorized vehicle. We therefore highly recommend that you always start off
with the bike set to the lowest level of assistance and only use a small amount
of throttle until you are moving forwards at walking pace.
