The power control switch has a LED that
emits RED light in the following cases:
• When you switch from “OFF” to “ON” or
“ECO”, the LED will light up for approx.
2 seconds, indicating that the system is
okay.
• When the LED lights up when riding, it
means that something is wrong! The light
will keep burning (steady, not blinking) for
approx. 3 minutes, then it will shut off.
Turn the switch to “OFF” and back to “ON”
or “ECO” again.
- When the LED lights up for approx.
2 seconds, the system is okay and you
can continue your ride.
- When the LED lights up but it doesn’t
shut off after approx. 2 seconds, there’s
still a problem with the electrical system.
Finish your ride without power assistance
(switch to “OFF”) and bring your bike to
your Lafree dealer to have it checked as
soon as possible.
• Same as previous point.
The motor and the battery are protected
against very high power output (more than
15A for 4 sec.), to ensure long life.
The motor shuts off and the LED will light
up. It keeps burning (steady, not blinking)
for approx. 3 minutes.
What to do:
Turn the switch to “OFF” and back to “ON”
or “ECO” again.
When the LED lights up for approx.
2 seconds, the system is okay and you
can continue your ride.
Examples when or how this will appear:
- Riding uphill with high power
- Riding with headwind with high power
- Standing still (e.g. at traffic lights),
pushing on the pedals while pulling the
brakes. The motor supplies power, but the
bike cannot move.
• When the battery becomes empty, the LED
will start blinking:
- when the LED blinks with 1 Hz (= 1x
on/off per second), there’s just 10~-20%
energy left
- when the LED blinks with 4 Hz (= 4x
on/off per second), there’s less than 10%
energy left.
After approx. 4 minutes, the LED will stop
blinking.
