Electric Bike
The electric bike of Darfon Electronics Corp. is an electrically assisted bike that provides assistance
when you are pedaling. The rpm sensor located on the pedal crank bearing detects how hard you
are pedaling the bike and determines how much power the motor should provide to give you a ride.
The electric motor is turned off as soon as you stop pedaling. At the maximum aided speed, the
motor starts to reduce its power output until the aided pedals are turned off. For example, the
maximum aided speed is 25km/hr (15.5mph) in European countries. You may ride faster than this
maximum aided speed if you turn off the assisted pedaling function.
