How do I control how much power the motor delivers?
Three power settings are available at the press of a button, low, medium, and max assistance, so you can select the setting that you need to suit the terrain. The bike comes fitted with an iWoc Trio control unit that is conveniently mounted to the
handlebars. You can cycle through the assistance levels simply by clicking the upper or lower buttons without having to remove your hands from the handlebars or take your eyes off the road ahead. Check out our blog for a step by step guide to operating the e-bike system.

Can I ride this bike in the wet?
The electric components used on our e-bikes are IP54-rated. They are protected against splashing but not against full immersion. The electric bike should never be subjected to pressurised water from a hose pipe or jet wash. Failure to adhere to
this may result in damage to the electrical components that comprise the motor system. When transporting the bike outside of a vehicle, a waterproof cover should be used to protect the electronic components from water
ingress during transportation.
How long does it take to charge the battery?
From fully depleted, the battery reaches full capacity in just 3.5 hours and can be charged from any household power socket.
How will I know how much battery remains?
The handlebar-mounted iWoc Trio control button has built-in LEDs which display how much battery power remains. It displays this using a simple traffic light system; white indicates a full charge, progressing down through Green, Amber, and
finally, Red to indicate that there is 25% or less remaining. The Pulsar One computer also displays relevant system data so you can keep track of your remaining battery power and have all the details of the ride at your fingertips..
What is the widest tyre I can fit?
The frame can accommodate 650b x 48mm or 700c x 45mm tyres with mudguards fitted or 40mm without.
What if I get a puncture?
It is just as simple as fixing a puncture on a normal bike, except you first need to disconnect the rear wheel by unclipping the connector at the chainstay and releasing the wheel nuts on the axle. Once the puncture has been repaired, you
bolt the wheel back on and connect the cable again.
What sort of a pump will I need?
The most common type of inner tube valve is the Presta high-pressure valve, which this bike comes fitted with. A pump has a couple of options; firstly, you want something that can be carried on the bike or in a
jersey pocket. The most popular types are.
- Mini Pump – A small pump that normally includes a clip that can be bolted onto a bottle cage mount on the bike or that is small enough to fit into a cycling jersey pocket or bag.
- CO2 pump – CO2 pumps use a pressurised CO2 canister to inflate the inner tube, which is much faster and much more efficient. The only drawback is that a full canister is required for a roadside repair.
- Hybrid Pump – Some models of pumps are compatible with CO2 canisters as well as having the option to inflate the tube normally. The best of both worlds.
