Riding Tips #1

DISCLAIMER: All Prime owners with the throttle installed on their bikes, be aware that using the throttle and Pedal Assist System (PAS) at the same time will cause serious damage to the motor.

The reason is that when you're using the throttle, the motor releases a fixed amount of torque based on the throttle amount you're applying so if you use the PAS at the same time, there would be an internal resistance inside the motor for making the torque even and causing the damage.

The warranty of the motor will be voided if any damage occur to the motor for this reason.

P.S. This message has been emailed to all Prime owners on either shipped or delivered stages.

    No one else has this issue. Maybe the wrong bike for me.

      Good to see the heads up. This will be my 1st e bike when it arrives and after waiting for so long it would have been ultra frustrating to break it by not knowing.

        Does this apply to the Homie or only the Prime?

          Hmm, don't do this because it'll void the warranty even though we didn't tell you before you ruined your motor.
          Where's the email? Has anyone received one?

          Couldn't this be prevented in the software?

            Sorry, there was an error on our mail server so not all the customers received that email. It will be delivered tomorrow, anyway,
