b. Display Unit
The Display Unit consists of 3 main parts;
The power button for the bike.
•
•
The battery charge level indicator lights.
•
The 4 assist mode indicator lights (which also have other functions).
Power Button
The power button is located on the display at the front of the bike frame. Pushing the
button will turn the bike on and the indicator lights in the display will turn on. Pushing it
again will turn the bike off.
Battery Charge Level
When the bike is turned on the battery charge level indicator lights will light up. The
battery charge indicators are on a gradient of red to yellow to green, with green being
the highest charge level.
Assist Mode
There are 4 levels of power assist that are shown on the 4 large indicator lights at the top of the display. Press the "+"
button to increase the assist level and the "-" button to decrease the assist level. The number of indicators that are lit
indicates the assist level.
NOTICE:
The 4 assist mode indicator lights communicate other message in addition to the assist mode
level.
Service Issue
The 4 indicator lights will flash red if there is an issue with the electrical system. You should stop riding as soon as it is
safe to do so and then turn the bike off. After 1 minute, power the bike on to see if the issue has resolved itself. If the
indicator lights continue to flash red then turn the bike off. It is safe to ride as a conventional bike until you reach your
destination. Then contact ARĪV to determine the best course of action to resolve the matter. If you are using the app
while riding refer to your app for the error code.
Connecting to the ARĪV eBike
When connecting to the bike the 4 indicator lights will flash blue and then remain on momentarily to indicate that
connection is complete and the bike is connected to your smart phone. (see details on "connecting to your ARĪV eBike"
later in the manual).
