How to choose your size
3 sizes are available:
Size S from 1.50 m to 1.65 m.
Size M from 1.66 m to 1.77 m.
Size L from 1.78 m to 1.89 m.
If you're on the borderline between 2 sizes:
Take the smaller size for greater comfort (straighter back).
Take the larger size for a more elongated position (more suitable for speed).
If you're over 1.90 m tall, we recommend you try the L size in-store, or go for the XL size of the high-step model.
0, 1, 2 or 3: how do you choose your assistance mode?
Mode 0 - Assistance deactivated.
Mode 1 - Gentle assistance up to 25 Km/h which makes you forget the weight of the bike - range of approx. 100 Kms in normal conditions.
Mode 2 - Moderate assistance up to 25 Km/h - range of approx. 90 Kms in normal conditions.
Mode 3 - "Boost" assistance up to 25 Km/h for more difficult climbs.
Range varies according to weight carried (user + load), gradient and outside temperature.
Engine
The 36-volt, 250-watt brushless rear-wheel motor develops a maximum motor torque of 42 Nm.
By way of example:
In mode 1, the motor amplifies your power by +90%; if I pedal 100W, the motor adds 90W.
In mode 2, the motor amplifies your power by +150%; if I pedal 100W, the motor adds 150W.
In mode 3, the motor amplifies your power by +220%; if I pedal 100W, the motor adds 220W.

What is the purpose of the assistance sensor?
The principle is simple and clever: the harder you push on the pedals, the more assistance you get. You control acceleration and speed.
For those in the know, this is the torque sensor integrated into the bottom bracket.
