but 'walk assist', strictly speaking, allows the bike to move without pedaling. Only its so slow that you won't want to be riding it while using the feature. Interestingly a walk assist is supposed to be 6 kph according to (I think) German law. But because China, its just set to '6' and so the walk assist is 6 mph when you set the display to imperial units. Would not surprise me if Stromers are immune to this quirk but its one I have seen almost universally on bikes over the years.
