The engagement cam is in the “up” position, and the

motors are off and hang free, just clearing the tire.  This

mode is for riding when power is not needed and allows

the rider to pedal without any drag from the motor. Fig.1

After pedaling has initiated, activation of the throttle

switch on the handlebar causes the motor to swing into

contact with the tire and engage.  The motor then auto-

matically adjusts itself to maximum efficiency at lower

torque levels. Fig.2

After pedaling has initiated and when the engagement

cam is moved to the “down” position, the drive roller is

already in contact with the tire when the motor is activat-

ed.  Pedaling over 11 mph in the low speed setting

recharges the battery.  This recharging is called “regen-

eration”. Fig.3  (To learn more about regeneration, refer

to page 9).
