Understanding your riding modes maximizes the electric assistance capabilities:

Mode Comparison Table

Mode Power Output Range Impact Best Use Case
Eco 30% Maximum Flat terrain
Normal 60% Moderate Daily commuting
Sport 100% Minimum Hill climbing

The pedal assist system (PAS) offers five levels of support. Higher levels provide more electric motor assistance but reduce range.

Throttle Use Guidelines

  • Start in PAS level 1
  • Gradually increase as needed
  • Avoid full throttle from standstill
  • Release early before stops

Your Fairon electric bike includes an advanced LCD display showing:

  • Current speed
  • Battery level

Frequently Asked Questions About Fairon Electric Bikes

 Your Fairon electric bike’s battery range depends on several factors including terrain, rider weight, and assist level. Under optimal conditions, expect 40-60 miles in eco mode, 30-45 miles in normal mode, and 20-35 miles in sport mode. For best results, start with a full charge and use pedal assist rather than relying solely on throttle.

 While your Fairon e-bike is water-resistant and can handle light rain, it’s not fully waterproof. The electrical components are rated IP65, meaning they’re protected against dust and low-pressure water jets. However, avoid submerging any part of the bike or riding through deep puddles.

Schedule professional maintenance every 500 miles or six months, whichever comes first. However, perform basic maintenance weekly: check tire pressure, clean the chain, and inspect brake pads. Download our maintenance checklist app for timely reminders.

Never use non-Fairon chargers with your e-bike. The battery requires a specific voltage and amperage that only our certified chargers provide. Using unauthorized chargers voids your warranty and could damage the battery system.

Fairon e-bikes have a total weight capacity of 300 pounds, including rider and cargo. Exceeding this limit stresses components and affects performance. For cargo bikes, check your specific model’s manual for detailed weight distribution guidelines.
