2. Quick Start Charging The Battery Before using your ByoCycle, we advise that you charge the battery fully. This is done by firstly connecting the supplied charger to the battery then connecting the charger to the mains socket. By connecting the charger in this sequence it minimizes the chance of short circuiting the system.
2. Quick Start Cont. The bike has two modes of operation, ‘Pedelec’ mode and ‘Automatic’ mode. These work in tandem with each other so there is no need to select one or the other (as on previous ByoCycle systems). The ‘Pedelec’ function means the motor assistance will activate when one rotation of the cranks has been achieved, it will then continue to provide assistance as you pedal.
2. Quick Start Cont. Turn the key clockwise, by one click, to the ‘OFF’ position, to engage the battery lock (by turning the key only one click the electronic system will remain inactive), the battery is now secure in the frame. To remove the battery, insert the key to the lock, push it in and turn anticlock-wise, this will release the battery enabling you to lift it free, using the handle, from the bike.
