3. Pedal aðstoðarkerfi (PAS)

The Y20 PRO features a 5-level pedal assist system.

• Use the '+' and '-' buttons on the control panel to adjust the assist level.
• Level 0: No electric assistance.
• Stig 1-5: Aukningasing levels of motor assistance. Level 1 provides minimal assistance, suitable for low speeds, while Level 5 provides maximum power for steep inclines or higher speeds.
• The motor engages when you start pedaling and disengages when you stop or apply the brakes.

4. Notkun inngjöfar (ef við á)

Your e-bike may be equipped with a throttle for electric-only propulsion.

• Twist the throttle grip to engage the motor without pedaling.
• Athugið: In some regions (e.g., Germany), electric-only throttle operation without pedaling may be restricted or prohibited for certain e-bike classifications. Always comply with local regulations.

5. Gírskipting

The 7-speed Shimano gear system allows you to adjust your pedaling effort to different terrains.

• Shift gears smoothly by pedaling lightly while operating the shifter.
• Lower gears (larger cogs) are for climbing hills, higher gears (smaller cogs) are for flat terrain and speed.

Viðhald

Regular maintenance is crucial for the safety, performance, and longevity of your VAKOLE Y20 PRO electric bicycle.

• Forðastu að tæma rafhlöðuna alveg.
• Store the battery in a cool, dry place, ideally between 10°C and 20°C (50°F and 68°F).
• Do not store the battery fully charged or completely empty for extended periods. Aim for 50-70% charge for long-term storage.

2. Loftþrýstingur í dekkjum

• Athugið loftþrýsting í dekkjum fyrir hverja ferð.
• Maintain pressure within the range indicated on the tire sidewall. Proper inflation improves efficiency and reduces the risk of punctures.
• The 4.0-inch fat tires may require lower pressures for off-road comfort and grip, and higher pressures for road efficiency.

3. Bremsukerfi

• Athugið reglulega hvort slit sé á bremsuklossunum og skiptið þeim út eftir þörfum.
• Check brake fluid levels and bleed the hydraulic system if braking feels spongy or inconsistent. This should ideally be done by a qualified bicycle mechanic.
• Ensure brake rotors are clean and free of oil or grease.

4. Keðja og drifbúnaður

• Keep the chain clean and lubricated to ensure smooth shifting and prevent premature wear.
• Inspect the chain, cassette, and chainring for wear or damage.
• Adjust the derailleur if shifting becomes imprecise.

• Þrífið rafmagnshjólið ykkar reglulega með auglýsinguamp klút og milda sápu.
• Avoid using high-pressure washers directly on electrical components or bearings.
• Dry the bicycle thoroughly after cleaning.
