How eZeebike works

Variable Power Assist (VPA) In lieu of a throttle, you may

have received or chosen a potentiometer dial. This set-up is only compatible with EPAC mode eZeebikes.

The dial settings from 0 - 8 correspond accordingly to the level of continous power assistance acheived by the motor during pedalling. The level of assistance remains the same throughout regardless of road conditions until you re-set the dial to another position. This is especially useful for long treks or when you do not wish to fuss about with a more sensitive throttle.

You can always choose to ride your bicycle as an ordinary bicycle.

Battery level gaugeWhen riding a fully charged bicycle, the battery level gauge shows ‘green’. Powerful acceleration or uphill riding causes the battery voltage to drop and may bring the level gauge to ‘amber’ or even ‘red’ (in the cases of very steep hills).

As you continue to cycle and the battery power drops, the level gauge will correspond to the state of charge remaining. When it remains in ‘amber’ and dips into ‘red’, you have approximately a 1/3 of the charge left. Best to recharge the battery soon.

To prevent the battery from deep discharge, the controller has a low voltage protection cut-off set at 30.0 V. You may reboot the bicycle if it cuts off however,

6Continued use of an empty battery by ‘pulsing’ will cause deep discharge, this is detrimental to the battery and reduce its life.
