  PAS/TAG ( Twist and Go or Pedal Assist ) Electric Facts

Allows users to select between two platforms.

1. PAS Mode: Pedaling w/o throttle gives 50% of available power assist, conserving the battery. Pedaling while Activating Throttle iallows user to go from 50% to full power or anywhere in between.
2. TAG Mode: No pedaling required, just throttle from 0% to 100% power 
 

Mode

  • PAS/TAG System
  • The Advantage: Rider can select between two power modes.
  • The Benefit: TAG allows you to power the bike
    without pedaling at all. PAS mode without throttle stretches range and economizes battery usage..
     

Electro- Drive®

  • Patented Currie Electro- Drive® 250w internally geared hub motor.
  • The Advantage: Powerful gear reduction motor system with chain drive power to the rear wheel.
  • The Benefit: Provides the power you need to climb hills or cut through wind.
     

Battery

  • Lithium-ion 24 V / 10 Ah removable rack top mounted pack, (7) 3.7V rechargeable cells with advanced battery management system with key lock and power system.
  • The Advantage:  A little over 1/2 the weight of a conventional SLA battery pack and number of lifetime charges is 3 to 4 times longer.
  • The Benefit: Compact package size is easy to detach from the bike when locking outside or transporting. Simply carry inside to recharge.
