How to Adjust Pedal Assist on Your EBike - Understand Pedal Assist on Electric Bike

How do you adjust your pedal assist levels on an e-bike?

Hey everyone, I'm Dustin. I have 20 years of experience in the bike and e-bike industry. And today I'm going to show you how to adjust your pedal assist levels on an e-bike. All right, right here, I have the Simple Step-thru Electric Bike from sixthreezero. Also available in four colorways, teal, cream, navy, and matte black, because it has an easy step-through. Now, if you get an electric bike, you're going to have a way to adjust your pedal assist levels, usually on the handlebars. Now, if you want to come in for a close-up, I'm going to show you. There are many options. So a lot of e-bikes may have a screen right here in the middle. And then they may just have buttons on the side here.

Now, in this case, we have a screen combined with the buttons. So your plus is up here, your minus is up here. So you hit the power button, right? And you go one, two, three, four, five, right? And that's it. One, two, three, four, five. And you can do this while you're riding. You can do it while you're stopped. Totally up to you. And you would have also, so if you have a screen here. There's just gonna be a little mechanism here with up and down arrows. You would push those up and down. Any e-bike you ride, you can adjust your pedal assist level when you're stopped or riding. Now, I recommend when you're starting to ride, keep your assist levels lower than when you get up to speed, you can start to go up. Now you can see in this one, that when you have an e-bike, you want to have your pedal assist to be able to be reachable with your thumb while you're keeping a nice grip, right? So if you do have a separate up-down mechanism and your screen is over here, just make sure you can reach with your thumbs to be able to push up and down. Okay? And that's it. Then you can also turn it off right here and you're off and running.

So it's very simple to adjust your pedal assist. So if you have any other questions at all, please reach out to us at theteam@sixthreezero.com or call us at 310-982-2877.
