Peddle assist in non variable so I thought I’d post a review with my fix. Let me start by saying This bike is great. And especially the price. I have knee issues do to 2 knee replacements and 2 revisions on the same before mentioned knees so it is vital to retaining and regaining motion to have peddle assist. The area I live in is very hilly so having to get on and off a bike every 50 feet was a obstacle in retaining motion. There are 2 ways to control the motor with peddle assist or with the throttle. my issue is with my stiffness in my knees it’s not good when assist kicks in because it kicks in with all or nothing, propelling the bike forward faster than what I am able to peddle. You can’t turn off the peddle assist without also turning off the throttle as well. I did however find a modification. I wanted to peddle at my own pace and beable to control how much help I get from the motor. My solution? I followed the wire from the peddle assist switch( behind the peddle gear on the right. It feeds into a wiring box below the battery. I just unscrewed the box and just unplugged this switch and closed the box back up. Because the motor is on the front wheel it’s not connected with the chain or peddling mechanisms. So you can have the ignition switch on peddle all you want regular then controll how much pull or help you want with the throttle lever. The peddle assist kicks in with full power which is way too much sometimes. The peddle assist is just on and off not variable like the throttle switch is. I’m give 4 stars instead of 5 because it’s a great bike but wouldn’t recommend using the peddle assist because it’s all or nothing. However the fix is easy.
