Instruction manual for the Van Raam pedal support system Display starting aid

Starting aid

The bike is equipped with a starting aid function. This allows the rider to accelerate to a speed of approximately 6 km/h for up to five seconds without having to pedal. To do this, the rider must keep the top button pressed. The function is reactivated when the button is pressed again.

 The starting aid function is used for:

  • Additional starting assistance.

  • Additional support when cycling up a mountain.

Cycling backwards

The reverse riding function is activated by pedalling backwards from a stopped position. Within a few seconds the motor is activated and the bicycle will ride backwards at about 2 km/h as long as you pedal backwards. Learn more in our article: Riding backwards with pedal support on a special bike.

Centrally switched lighting

The bicycle is equipped with a centrally controlled lighting system that switches on automatically when the electrical system is activated. You can read more about this in our article "Lighting via the Van Raam electrical system".
