Any ebikes with throttle override in pedal assist mode?
- Thread starter 48v
- Start date
Good question... I'd love to help with a list but am pretty busy on the road right now. These are some that come to mind from memory. You're correct about many of the IZIP bikes doing it.
- IZIP ebikes: E3 Dash, E3 Zuma, E3 Metro, E3 Path+ and E3 Peak (though it cuts out at 7mph completely)
- Falco electric bike kits: Hx 500, Hx 750 and Hx 1000
- e-Joe ebikes: Anggun, Epik SE, Epik Lite, One
- EZ Pedaler ebikes: T350, T500, F350, F500, C300, C350 and C500
- EG ebikes: Vienna 350 and Zurich 350 (probably all of their bikes)
I'm not sure man... Not every assist type bike even has a throttle but the ones that do offer a variety of setups. I find it especially frustrating when they only have throttle override and require you to be in pedal assist to use the throttle. More than once this has startled me (when I thought I was just relying on the throttle).
My preference is for there to be a zero level that is only throttle with multiple assist and multiple regen modes. I'm okay with having the throttle override assist but it's really great when there's an extra switch enabling or disabling it.

I find the ability to switch between modes, without changing the control setting, to be valueable.
Specifically, I will be in PAS going down hill. When I reach max cadence, I throttle and tuck to hold the speed. If I had to reach down and change the assist level to 0, it would be dangerous at high speeds. I like the option to use either, with output level being independent.
Should PAS or throttle be given priority, or be co-usable? This is for when both are being used.
IMO, co-usable. Override should depend upon the input level, not a priority.
ex. If I am throttling easy, no pedal, but then decide to push hard. The PAS signal should override the throttle and accelerate. The same should happen in reverse. An easy pedal PAS output should be able to be overridden by a full throttle input.
One consideration could allow throttle operation to be at high level, which PAS is limited by actual level setting. This allows full power from a stopped position using the throttle, but a limited start using pedal.
These are my personal preferences.

The EG Zurich 350 Pedal assist and throttle modes work well together. I enjoy using the "low" and "med" assist levels with an occasional boost from the thumb throttle control. Using the Pedal assist at the lower power levels in conjunction with the thumb throttle seems to minimize battery drain and maximize mileage.

hi,
it is europe safety standard to have the pedal assist working to make the throttle work. the usa standard is to have the throttle on demand. check my website for more info
