PAS (Pedal Activated System)
Electric bicycles with this system have a throttle that is only active when
the pedals are in a forward motion. A sensor ring on the bottom bracket
spindle rotates and a sensor reads this rotation.
Begin by first riding as if you are on a normal non-electric bicycle, then
while the pedals are in motion slowly twist the throttle towards you to
activate the motor power.
PAS Sensor
PAS / TAG throttle switch (if equipped)
The type of system enables the rider to select between the PAS and TAG
modes via the red thumb button. Refer to the TAG and PAS sections to find
out how these modes work. Note: When using the TAG mode you will use
more battery power and thus shorten range of the bicycle.

BATTERY FAQ'S
Q: Do I need to charge the batteries before using them?
A: Yes. You should charge the batteries fully before first using them.
Q: What is conditioning (NiMH only)?
A: The conditioning process is performed by first draining the batteries
and then charging them fully. Conditioning is recommended for every
ten to twenty charges.
Q: Do I need to "break-in" my batteries?
A: Yes. The batteries used in the Swoop Electric Bicycles will need to
have a "break-in" cycle consisting of - three discharge/charge cycles
before they will reach optimum performance. This involves three
complete discharges and three complete recharges. After this initial
break-in" cycle the batteries will have maximum possible performance
and less line voltage fluctuations under load.
Q: How long will the batteries hold their charge?
A: All batteries will self-discharge when not in use. The self-discharging
rate depends on the temperature at which they are stored. Excessively
cold or hot storage temperatures will drain the batteries faster than
normal. Ideally the batteries should be stored at room temperature.
Q: Why should I recharge my batteries at least every 90 days (NiMH &
Li-Ion) and every 30 days (SLA) when I am not using them?
A: Batteries naturally loose their charge over time. To keep the batteries
in optimal condition and extend their life, it is recommended that a top-
off recharge be performed at least every 90 days for NiMH & Li-Ion
batteries and at least every 30 days for SLA batteries.
