Understanding the Different Riding Modes

Velzi offers multiple riding modes to suit different riding needs.

  • Pedal Mode (No Electric Assistance)
    Can be used with the battery and display switched off or by selecting Mode 0 on the display using the minus button.
    In this mode, the cycle works like a regular bicycle with no motor assistance. This is useful when:

    • The battery is empty

    • You want maximum physical exercise

    • You are riding short distances manually

  • Pedal Assist Mode (PAS)
    Pedal Assist System helps you pedal with less effort.
    When you start pedaling, the PAS sensor activates the motor.
    The motor provides smooth assistance based on the selected level.
    This mode is ideal for:

    • Daily commuting

    • Long rides

    • Inclines, slopes, and flyovers
      You can select assist levels 1–5 using the plus (+) or minus (–) buttons on the display.
      Lower levels = lighter assistance, better range
      Higher levels = stronger assistance, higher speed
      For example:

    • Level 1: Assisted speed up to ~7–8 km/h

    • Level 5: Assisted speed up to 25 km/h
      Start with a lower assist level and increase only when needed for better control and battery efficiency.

  • Throttle Mode
    Throttle mode allows the electric cycle to move without pedaling.
    Simply twist the throttle, and the motor will provide power.
    Throttle mode is useful for:

    • Starting from a stop

    • Short bursts of speed

    • Riding when tired or during short trips
      The maximum assisted speed on throttle remains 25 km/h, regardless of assist level.
      ⚠️ Note: Continuous throttle use consumes more battery than pedal assist. For longer rides, PAS is recommended.

  • Cruise Control Mode
    Cruise control allows you to ride at a constant speed without holding the throttle.
    How to activate:
    Hold the throttle at a constant speed for 7–8 seconds.
    Cruise control will activate and show an icon on the display.
    How to deactivate:
    Press either brake lever.
    Cruise control is helpful for:

    • Open roads

    • Long, uninterrupted rides

  • Walk Assist Mode
    Walk assist helps move the cycle at walking speed without pushing it.
    How to activate:
    Select modes 1–5
    Long-press the minus (–) button for 5 seconds.
    The cycle will move at a steady speed of 5–6 km/h, with an indicator shown on the display.
    This is useful when:

    • Battery is very low

    • The road is crowded

    • You are walking alongside the cycle


How to Ride Velzi Smoothly

Following these tips improves comfort, safety, and battery life:

  • Start riding in a low PAS level

  • Accelerate smoothly, especially in throttle mode

  • Maintain proper tyre pressure (18–20 PSI)

  • Ride at a steady, comfortable pace

  • Avoid overloading the cycle

  • Always lock the battery securely before riding

  • Perform basic pre-ride checks before every ride

Smooth riding reduces stress on the motor and battery and improves long-term performance.


How to Stop Safely

Velzi is equipped with front and rear disc brakes and brake cut-off sensors for added safety.

  • Pressing the brake levers immediately cuts motor power

  • Use both brakes together for controlled stopping

  • Avoid sudden or harsh braking

  • Avoid braking and accelerating at the same time

  • Before every ride, ensure the brakes feel firm and responsive.


Charging Your Velzi Battery

Velzi’s removable battery allows flexible charging.
The battery can be charged on the cycle or after removing it.

  • Always switch off the electric cycle before charging

  • Use only the original charger provided

  • Charge in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight

  • Avoid charging immediately after a ride; wait 15–20 minutes

  • Do not wait for the battery to reach zero before charging

  • For best battery health, operate within the 10–90% charge range during regular use.


Safety Tips for New Riders

Your safety always comes first:

  • Wear a helmet and appropriate safety gear

  • Follow traffic rules and ride predictably

  • Avoid riding through deep water or flooded roads

  • Be extra cautious during monsoon conditions

  • Do not use mobile phones while riding
