“If you want to track your ride well it automatically tracks it when you take off and it’s just up to you whether you want to keep it or not you can put an address in here if you want to go someplace it will take you there so if I put like Union Center Union Park yeah what’s up all right let’s hit that one it shows you exactly how to get there it tells you your elevation and it will give you guidance on the way there you can change from here you can show either that you want to show the speed that you’re doing or if you want to know what the battery level if you want to know the battery level of the bike while you’re riding as you can see it says 97 we’ll probably be using that version today as I want to try to make sure I can get out and get back and still have full power. You can change your pedal assist also by just hitting this button right here right now it’s like okay we’re on pedal assist one a little two pops up for two three four and five. This bike also has firmware to it so when I fired this bike up recently I ended up having to do a firmware update to it this is where you can get everything like figured out on the bike you can change your settings here. You can also get support easily by just hitting well this has your general questions but you can contact support right here and this right here will lock the bike so at this point like you can’t use any of the controls so you can lock the bike and then like walk away and when you have it stored and that way if somebody does take it well they still can’t operate the bike because it’s locked you just can’t do anything so that is a nice little feature to have.”
