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.

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.
