5. GENERAL NOTES ABOUT RIDING
The VADO/COMO motor provides pedal assistance only while you are pedaling and the bicycle is in motion. The
amount of pedal assistance will be higher or lower depending on the amount of force applied to the pedals. If you
stop pedaling, the motor will stop providing any assistance.
The VADO/COMO bicycle can also be ridden as a normal bicycle without motor assistance by switching the display
to the OFF mode. The same applies if the battery charge drops below 1%.
The VADO/COMO bicycle has a walk-assist mode (the motor engages without pedal force being applied) which is
designed to provide assistance when walking the bicycle up a hill, up to a speed of 6 km/h (3.7 mph), so long as the
+ button is pressed down.
5.1. RIDING TIPS
Because of the electric motor assist, the VADO/COMO offers a unique ride compared to a bicycle without motor
assist. Below are some riding tips which may also reduce component wear and increase battery range:
Pay attention to your speed going into a corner and be sure to stop pedaling well before entering the corner.
Otherwise you may carry too much speed as you enter the corner.
Ride efficiently and look ahead. Any time braking force is applied, more energy is needed to get the bicycle back
up to speed.
Shift gears regularly to stay in an optimal cadence range and downshift before coming to a stop.
Reduce pedal force before initiating a gear shift to reduce drivetrain wear.
Check the tire pressure regularly. Low pressure can cause the tires to roll inefficiently.
If your bicycle is exposed to cooler weather, keep the battery stored indoors until just before riding.
Do not expose your bicycle to prolonged excessive heat (e.g. direct sunlight).
Only carry the cargo you need. More cargo weight requires more energy to move.
WARNING! The motor support is activated as soon as you step onto the pedals and the bicycle
is in motion. You should be seated on the bicycle and engage at least one brake before starting
to pedal. Do not put one foot on a pedal and throw a leg over the bicycle, as it could accelerate
unexpectedly. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious personal injury or even death.
WARNING! The acceleration of an electric bicycle can be faster than anticipated and may feel
unusual at first. Before your first ride, you should use the lowest power ECO mode and become
familiar with the operation of the electric bicycle by practicing starting and stopping, cornering
and navigating obstacles in a safe environment away from other bicycles, pedestrians and/or
vehicles. Due to the greater acceleration of an electric bicycle, you should also pay particular
attention to terrain conditions as you may approach obstacles faster than expected. Please note
the default motor support mode upon startup is always SPORT mode.
CAUTION: The weight of your VADO/COMO is significantly higher than a bicycle without motor
support. Use caution when handling the bicycle (including, but not limited to parking, lifting,
pushing, loading it into a car or onto a bicycle carrier and unloading it).
CAUTION: Do not ride your VADO/COMO without the battery installed. Riding without a battery
may damage exposed electrical components.
