PAS 1 too slow

[cdorko]

Thanks to all who are reporting problems with PAS functionality.
I am also new to eBikes and do not have the electronic expertise that those of a younger generation may have (age 86), but I do want to try to improve the situation with PAS 1. Thanks for any input.

PAS 1 is slow on purpose so that you can ride the same speed as the grand kids on their tricycles. Cruise speed is PAS 2 for maximum range, PAS 3 is to keep up with the regular bikes, PAS 4 is to pass the regular bikes and PAS 5 is to pass the road bikes with the lycra bike shorts & jersey wearing cyclists.

Thanks Jrocket, but 1-2mph is too slow even for this age group. And in this case, it's greatgrandkids.

Yep, too slow. What do you get on PAS 2, 3, 4?

are you pedaling while on PAS 1? pedaling i can go nearly 10mph in PAS1. CUR reads 0.0-1.0 in the display.

On 2, 10-11. I don't use 3 o4 very often so no good answer.
On the flat, on 1 , I can get 6-7 with very vigorous pedaling.

Yes, pedaling vigorously and on the flat can get 6-7. I am getting practically no assist on hill climbing.

You'll need to contact Lectric for a replacement controller. If you get inexperienced customer support, they might try a cadence sensor but it would cause an issue in all levels so a new controller should fix it.

Thank you. That's my next step.
