Your eZeebike may come in 2 operative modes, e-bike and/or EPAC mode for EU. The e-bike mode
allows for power on demand i.e. just turning the throttle, the EPAC mode requires pedaling for the
throttle to work. The selection is made at the switch at the battery gauge.
With e-bike mode there's nothing to stop you from pedaling and you are encouraged to put in some
effort as it can give you considerable more mileage. On the throttle is a switch "on and off" for safety
reasons to avoid turning the motor on without a rider.

4.1 Loading the battery

Release the cache at the underside of the saddle life the saddle forwards/upwards or release the
quick fit clamp and remove the seat tube as the case maybe. Mount the battery by sliding the battery
along the guide plate into the slot of the battery holder. The fit is quite tight when new, and therefore it
may be necessary to give it a push at the end. However, do not ram the battery down hard as this
could result in the damage of the connecting sockets or pins. Ensure that the battery is positioned
securely by turning the key at the lock.

4.2 Pedelec mode

The eZeebike is powered by the motor an/or is activated by a motion sensor and the throttle. For the
EPAC mode – As you pedal, the signal is picked up by the sensor at the bottom bracket which allows
the power to be "on", power on demand could then be made by the twist of the throttle. The activated
motor will reduce the load required for you to pedal by assisting you. Making pedaling long distances
and gradients easy, this makes traveling more pleasant without compromising on speed.

4.3 E-bike mode

For the e-bike mode, the motor will run as soon as you turn the throttle, ensure that you are seated
and ready to ride off before you activate the throttle. (US version will require the throttle switch to be
on)
eZee bikes conform to CEN draft prEN15194 regarding EPAC.
The following is taken directly from EU directive 2002/24/EC Chapter 1 Article 1 1(h)
Cycles with pedal assistance which are equipped with an auxiliary electric motor having a maximum
continuous rated power of 0.25 kW, of which the output is progressively reduced and finally cut off as
the vehicle reaches a speed of 25 km/h or if the cyclist stops pedaling.
eZee bikes also conforms to EN 14764 for safety requirements.
USA regulations allows a power assisted maximum speed of 20 mph.
You may wish to travel faster than the regulated speed limit by pedaling with your own muscle power.
We strongly recommend that you be considerate for your own safety and the safety of others
regardless of speed. 25 km/h (15.6 mph) is already fast enough.
