The operation display for the pedal assistance is
attached to the left side of the handlebar and is
easy to operate by making use of the functions eco,
normal and boost. 50%-100%-130% assistance.
On/Off function
With the power button on the operation display you
can activate and deactivate the pedal assistance. If
you press the power button once, all lights on the
operation display will light up for 1 second. Then, the pedal assistance is activated and the current batter y
statusisshown.Thestandardsettingforthepedalassistancemodeis‘normal’.Bypressingthepowerbutton
once more, you switch off the pedal assistance again.
Warning: during the first second after switching on (while all the lights are on), it is forbidden to put pressure on
the pedals because during that period torque measurement is performed automatically.
Mode button
Belowthepowerbuttononyouroperationdisplayyou’llfindthemodebutton,withwhichyoucanselectthe
various forms of pedal assistance:
• eco: 50% assistance
• normal: 100% assistance
• boost: 130% assistance
The “eco” mode requires the least battery power and enables you to travel the longest distance with pedal
assistance. The “normal” mode is the standard setting that is switched on when the pedal assistance is activated.
The “boost” mode offers you the most pedal assistance, but puts the highest demands on the battery power as
well. As a result, the radius of action will decrease. Thus reducing your travel distance.
2. Operation display (continued)
Reading battery status off of the display
The battery indicator has 3 settings: full, half full and low. If the bottom light starts to blink slowly (once every
two seconds), the battery charge has decreased to below 10%. If the battery light starts to blink fast (twice per
second), the battery has ran out of power completely. After 10 minutes the light will go off automatically. You
can continue to bike without problems, but will have to do so without pedal assistance.
Error message
If the lights for the battery status and the pedal assistance mode blink alternately, a malfunction has occurred.
In that case, switch the motor off and on again with the power button while refraining from putting pressure on
the pedals. If the error continues to occur, switch off the motor and contact your Gazelle dealer.
Also see the table on page 24 describing possible malfunctions.
