El Capitan Electric Bike Owners Manual

OPERATION (CONTINUED)
Throttle
•
Your electric bike is equipped with a thumb throttle, which is mounted near the rider’s right thumb. No pedal is needed once
the bike is moving on the throttle power.
•
Simply push the throttle using your thumb and the throttle can propel you at speeds up to 20 mph (32km/h).
•
The throttle can only be engaged within pedal assist levels 1 though 5. Regardless of the power assist level you select, your
bike will accelerate to the top speed when the throttle is engaged. You can use the throttle along with the pedal assist or on
its own.
Headlight Operation
•
Once the display is powered on, press and hold the ‘UP’ button on the display to turn on the headlight.
•
Press and hold the ‘UP’ button again to turn off the headlight.
Walk Assistance
•
Walk Assist can make it easier for you to push your bike. This mode should only be used while dismounted from the bike
and with both hands on the handlebar.
•
Press and hold the ‘DOWN’ button to initiate walk assist mode. The bike will move at a steady pace of 3.5MPH (6km/h) until
the ‘DOWN’ button is released.
