5. Get Started

R8 provides riders with three different riding modes.

1.Electricity-assisted mode

Set right the head, fold kickstand and fasten frame. Adjust bike head and saddle position to ensure a comfortable riding experience. Find the power switch in the one side of the batter, start it and hold the handle. First sit on the saddle and step on the pedals one foot by one foot. When riders are ready to ride it, they can push the accelerator in the right handle to accelerate.

2. Man-powered mode

Set right the head, fold kickstand and fasten frame. Adjust bike head and saddle position to ensure a comfortable riding experience. Find the power switch in the one side of the battery, start it and hold the handle. First sit on the saddle and step on the pedals one foot by one foot. Rides can pedal it to go forward.

3. Power-assisted mode

Turn on the power switch. Power sensor can sense the rotation, and then give signal to the controller when the riding ring exceeds three rings, so that power-assisted mode is activated. According to different riders' force, the level of power assistance changes. When braking, it is out of power-assisted mode. If pedals reverse, it will realize a faster exit of power-assisted mode. The power-assisted mode is to make riding easier.

R8S does not support pure electric mode.

Long press the brake button, release it when slow down or stop.

6. Learning Skill

Operating steps for beginners (electricity-assisted mode)
