Giant 2002 Motorized Bicycle owner manual Light On Power Control, Switch, Steady Or Blinking

The power control switch has a LED that emits RED light in the following cases:

•When you switch from “OFF” to “ON” or “ECO”, the LED will light up for approx.

2 seconds, indicating that the system is okay.

•When the LED lights up when riding, it means that something is wrong! The light will keep burning (steady, not blinking) for approx. 3 minutes, then it will shut off. Turn the switch to “OFF” and back to “ON” or “ECO” again.

-When the LED lights up for approx.

2 seconds, the system is okay and you can continue your ride.

-When the LED lights up but it doesn’t shut off after approx. 2 seconds, there’s still a problem with the electrical system. Finish your ride without power assistance (switch to “OFF”) and bring your bike to your Lafree dealer to have it checked as soon as possible.

•Same as previous point.

The motor and the battery are protected against very high power output (more than 15A for 4 sec.), to ensure long life.

The motor shuts off and the LED will light up. It keeps burning (steady, not blinking) for approx. 3 minutes.

What to do:

Turn the switch to “OFF” and back to “ON” or “ECO” again.

When the LED lights up for approx.

2 seconds, the system is okay and you can continue your ride.

Examples when or how this will appear:

-Riding uphill with high power

-Riding with headwind with high power

-Standing still (e.g. at traffic lights), pushing on the pedals while pulling the brakes. The motor supplies power, but the bike cannot move.

•When the battery becomes empty, the LED will start blinking:

-when the LED blinks with 1 Hz (= 1x on/off per second), there’s just 10~-20% energy left

-when the LED blinks with 4 Hz (= 4x on/off per second), there’s less than 10% energy left.

After approx. 4 minutes, the LED will stop blinking.
