My Ariel Rider N-Class Premium and request for instructions manual

[Andy_Austria]

Hi there,
not many user reviews about that bike are out there. I have the 250W version, bought second hand, and can answer your real world questions if there are any.

Owning the Ariel Rider for a month I can say it keeps the promises of the flashy ads and videos so far. I am not super happy with the range which seems to be closer to 30 km (assist level 1 in a rather flat city) than the 50 km promised, but on the other hand it is quite cold now in Austria, the battery gets charged overnight in my yard at typically 5-10 °C and used during the day at about 5-15° C which is not ideal.

Only thing I really miss is any kind of instructions, e.g. on the assist levels and that "6 km walk" thingy I read about. Can anybody enlighten me here? Do new bikes come with any instructions?
Ariel Rider does not seem to have such downloads on their home page.

Thanks,
Andy

Got one from here, free to download:

The "6 km walk" function is an assist mode to walk your bike uphill or whereever you want, by pushing and holding the minus button on similar controllers - but not with my arielrider N-class.

Now in summer I get closer to the advertized 50 km range - I would think an average person could get that far, without extra drag by trailer use or overweight (as in my case).
6 km walk mode works now, after having replaced a faulty controller.
