The on/off button
You can switch on the system by briefly pressing the on/off button left below the information screen the information screen. Your bike is in position 1 by default. To switch the system off again, press the on/off button for about 2 seconds.
Lighting
When turning the system on, your lights will automatically come on. Pressing the light button turns the lights off. Read more about how the lighting works through the Van Raam electrical system in the article 'Lighting via the Van Raam electrical system'.
Support levels
You can set the desired level of support on a Van Raam bicycle. The electrical system has 3 levels. You can change the support level by using the plus and minus button close to the handle of your bike.
Plus button: Allows you to raise the assistance level by one step to a maximum of assistance level 3.
Minus button: Allows you to lower the assistance level by one step to minimum assistance level 1.
The higher the level, the more assistance you get. This also requires more energy from your battery, so you can cycle fewer kilometres. The number of kilometres you can cycle also strongly depends on other factors. Read more about this in the article 'How many kilometers does a Van Raam e-bike battery last?'.
Starting aid
Van Raam's Silent electric system is equipped with a starting aid. This button can be found on the button moduleat the handle of the bike and can be recognised by the bicycle icon. When you keep this button pressed while cycling away, you get extra support so you don't have to exert as much force yourself when cycling away.
Information screen
After starting up the electrical system, the information screen is shown on the Silent smart display. This screen displays current cycling information. Among other things, the speed, remaining battery capacity, active assistance mode are displayed here. At the bottom of the screen are the mode screens, these can be switched using the mode button on the button module.
Mode button
The mode button is the top button on your button module and can be recognised by the dot on it. If you briefly press the mode button on the button module once, you can switch the information shown at the bottom of the display. You can toggle between:
Range: this is the estimated range. This is the estimated number of kilometres that can still be cycled. The range depends on many factors so may differ in reality.
Trip: The distance you have travelled since the trip counter was last reset. You can reset the trip counter by pressing the mode button for one second when the trip counter is displayed.
Total: This is the total number of kilometres you have cycled with the bike while the electro system was switched on.
