Happy customer.

stepping thru the  bike

An advantage of a stepthru is that you don't have to swing your leg over the seat. That means you will have no problems getting on if you have a big load on the rear rack.

 

bike on grid to show size

This is a 26" bicycle with an 18" frame size. The seat is shown here in its lowest position. The frame is light and robust: its aluminium alloy. You can tell it is aluminium because the tubes are bigger, but lighter.

lithium polymer battery
Your bike comes with a light and reliable lithium polymer battery. This battery handles vibration well e.g. on gravel roads.
It plugs into the bike at the bottom end when you slide the battery into place.

You can easily check the state of charge of the battery by pressing the meter button on the top of the battery.

  It is a 36 V Lithium Polymer Battery.10 Ah capacity gives you plenty of range. You switch it on with the key; and the battery is lockable/removable. You can remove the battery if you need to charge it somewhere else. You push a button under the seat that flips the seat out of the way when you want to remove or insert the battery into the bike.

A 36 V system gives you better acceleration and hill climbing.
lithium polymer battery
This battery will take you about 50 km with light pedaling, or 35 km with no pedaling. You can charge it at least 800 times and if you keep it topped up it can last 2000 charges. The cost of lithium batteries is reducing every few months, so by the time you need a new one they will be pretty cheap: especially from beyond-oil.com! :-) .

A full recharge takes 5 hours using the included charger which is like a laptop charger. We recommend you switch to Green Power renewable electricity using some of your savings on car running costs (eg. sign-up for 100% windpower for your home's electricity).

1.8A battery charger

2 Amp [AC] Battery Charger.

The battery is protected from over discharging, initially by reduction of power to the motor, followed eventually by protective shut down of power. This is done by a sophisticated Battery Management System inside the battery case.

You activate the motor by pedaling, then you can take over control of the motor with the hand throttle, if you wish. You have the choice (details below).

Not only that, when you want more exercise then you can switch to LOW pedaling assistance. When you are feeling exhausted after a long day then you can switch it to HIGH pedaling assistance!


rear wheel

The high torque motor combined with the lithium battery provides 200 Watts of power. This gives you  the power of one or two other people helping you pedal whenever you need it. You will pedal up hills as if they are flat. It makes riding a pleasure.

7 speed deraileur

Seven speed Shimano gears included: that gives you quality and reliability.

front wheelrear disc brake

Front and Rear disc brakes (good braking in the wet).
"The major problem with servo-type brakes is that they can cause unintentional wheel lockup." --Sheldon Brown

 

motor cable plug

Here is something special: someday you might need some work done on the rear wheel. Bike shops may freak out because most electric bikes have an electric cable going into the wheel that is very difficult to unplug from the bike. They will be able to easily unplug the rear wheel on this bike because we provide a special plug for that purpose. We do it because we care.

throttle and red button

Robust twist grip throttle (Hall effect, brushless: very durable), and a red button to make the throttle override the pedal assist. This enables you to start the motor without having to pedal. For example, this can be very useful for starting off when going up a steep hill.

PAS control panel

PAS level and lights switches

Not only can you switch on the front and rear light from the handlebar; you can also control how much motor power you use to assist your pedaling (PAS)! So when you want more exercise then switch it to LOW assistance. When you are feeling exhausted after a long day then switch it to HIGH assistance!

The operation of the control panel is fairly straight forward.

1. [Default Mode at Turn ON] 
When you turn the controller on it defaults to LOW assistance.

2. [PAS and Throttle Operation] 
With the red button next to the throttle twist grip IN if you pedal OR twist the throttle then the motor provides assistance.  Press "-" or "+" to change the level of assistance.

3. [PAS-only Operation] 
With the red button OUT if you pedal the motor will provide assistance . Twisting the throttle has NO effect when the red button is in the OUT position.

4. [Throttle-only Operation] 
If you press the "-" button until the LOW MED HIGH assistance LEDs go out, and with the red button IN you can operate in throttle-only mode.  Twist the throttle to provide the motor assistance (also call TAG - Twist And Go mode).  Pedaling has no effect on the assistance provided by the motor in this mode.
With the red button OUT you can ride pedaling without any motor assistance.

Note: When using any of the Pedal Assistance (PAS) modes there is a DELAY in the operation of the motor when starting and stopping to pedal. There is no delay in the throttle-only mode.

Also note the small light to warn you when the front and rear lights are on.
