2.2 Assistance/Regeneration
The systems with the BionX 'G2' controller, 'RIDE+ Pro' controller, 'RIDE+ Easy' controller and
'RIDE+ Easy II' controller have four levels of assistance. When the system is set to assistance,
the electric motor drives the rear wheel and assists you in your pedaling.
Additionally, the systems with the BionX 'G2' Controller and 'RIDE+ Pro' Controller have four levels
of regeneration. The systems with the 'RIDE+ Easy' Controller and 'RIDE+ Easy II' Controller do not
have regenerating by default. On systems with these Controllers, regenerating can be activated by
the dealer. When the system is set to regeneration, the electric motor is used as a dynamo and
generates electricity for charging the battery pack. Going downhill, you can reduce your speed by
regulating the amount level of regeneration as the created resistance acts as a motor brake.
Though, that generation mode is not a substitute for using brakes to control speed or stop.
The tables below give an indication of the effort that is compensated in the different assistance and
regeneration levels. The real percentages of compensated effort depend on the software settings of
the bike.
