Throttle; Handbrakes - Batavus E-go Bedienungsanleitung

3.2

Throttle

The throttle (A) is to the left of the handlebar control unit. The throttle can be used after the
peddling assistance has been turned on.
You can accelerate by rotating the throttle away
from you.
Turn the throttle slowly when first using it to get
used to the power that the throttle provides.
The throttle offers extra assistance and can be used in the following ways:
• Extra assistance when you're walking alongside the bicycle
When walking up a hill with the bicycle the throttle can provide you with extra assistance.
This means that you do not have to bear the full weight of the bicycle on the hill yourself.
• Extra assistance when pulling away
You can use the throttle when pulling away. Without pedalling, the throttle can assist up to a
speed of 6 km/hour. To get assistance above this you must peddle yourself.
• Extra assistance during cycling
The throttle can give peddling assistance an extra impulse during cycling. This may be
useful when overtaking or riding up a hill. The impulse is most discernible at a low peddling
assistance level.
