5. GENERAL INFORMATION ON YOUR
NYTRO DUST BICYCLE
The Pinarello Nytro Dust bicycle is a Pedelec (Pedal Electric Cycle) or EPAC (Electrically Power
Assisted Cycle), which is a bicycle equipped with a motor that provides assistance as long as the
cyclist is pedalling. The moment the rider stops pedalling, the motor stops delivering torque.
The motor provides support for pedalling until you reach the local speed limits: up to 25 km/hr (15
mp/hr) or 32 km/hr (20 mp/hr) for countries including the USA, Canada, New Zealand. Once this
speed is reached, the motor automatically stops delivering torque. The motor is equipped with a
torque sensor designed to provide motor driving force proportional to the speed and force of the
human foot pedal: the harder you push on the pedals (more force), the greater the driving force
of the motor.
The rider manages the pedal assistance from the remote control or the display, both of which
are mounted on the handlebar. The sections below provide basic information and instructions on
operating the pedal assist system. For details, please refer to the motor manufacturer's manual.

USER INTERFACE

TURNING ON/OFF

Your Pinarello Nytro Dust cycle is equipped with a SHIMANO EP8 STEPS system with integrated
battery. To turn on the system, press the power button located on the top tube near the head
tube. Keep the button pressed until the system turns on.
To turn the system off, press the power button again.
LEVELS OF ASSISTANCE
The SHIMANO STEPS system offers three power-assist levels:
• ECO
• TRAIL
• BOOST
When you turn the system on, the assistance mode will always be in OFF, regardless of the setting
last selected before turning the system off.
To change the power-assist level, press the buttons on the handlebar control.
The SHIMANO STEPS system is equipped with a WALK function, designed to help the user push
the bike in uphill situations or if the weight of the bike is excessive.
To access the WALK function, decrease the power-assist levels until you reach the OFF state and
decrease again until you reach the WALK state.
Once you reach the WALK state, push the bike while holding down the lower button on the
handlebar control to get the walking assistance from the motor. The moment you release the
button, the assist will stop.
To exit WALK mode, simply press the top button on the control, which will first turn the system
OFF and then back to the pedal assist modes discussed above.

Familiarise yourself with the power-assist levels gradually and in a familiar and
safe area. Start with the ECO level and move to the next levels only when you
are familiar with the motor thrust.
