Throttle

The throttle (A) is on the left side of the
handle bar control unit. The throttle can be
used as soon as the peddling assistance
has been switched on. The use of the
throttle costs a lot of energy. This affects
the range of the e-bike.
With some models you throttle up by
turning the throttle away from you, whereas
with other models you have to turn the
throttle towards you. Carefully test what is
applicable to your e-bike.
When using the throttle for the
first time, carefully try it out to get
familiar with the power the throttle
delivers.
The throttle offers extra support and can be used in the following ways:
• Extra support when you walk beside the bicycle
For instance, when taking the bicycle out of a basement, the throttle can give
you some extra support, so you do not have to push the bicycle up only with
your own power.
• Extra support when accelerating from standstill
You can use the throttle when accelerating from standstill. The throttle
supports up to 3 km/hour without peddling. After this you will have to peddle
yourself in order to get support.
• Extra support when cycling
The throttle can give the peddling assistance an extra impulse while cycling.
This can be useful when you want to pass someone or when you have to ride
uphill. The impulse is felt strongest with a low peddling assistance level.
