Understanding Mihogo's Advanced Pedal Assist Technology
What Are Pedal Assist Levels?
Pedal assist levels (PAS) are programmable power settings that determine how much motor assistance your e-bike provides when you pedal. Mihogo e-bikes are built to the IPX5 water-resistant standard with dual-arm torque sensors that are precision instruments, ensuring that every ounce of power is channeled optimally from both left and right pedals.
The result is a remarkable 23% boost in battery life compared to single torque sensor systems and an astounding 105% improvement compared to speed sensor systems. This advanced technology makes Mihogo's pedal assist programming more sophisticated and efficient than traditional e-bike systems.
Mihogo's Five Pedal Assist Modes
Most Mihogo e-bikes feature five distinct pedal assist levels, each designed to cater to specific riding conditions and user preferences:
Level 0 - Manual Mode No motor assistance; the bike operates like a traditional bicycle, perfect for maximum exercise and battery conservation.
Level 1 - Eco Mode Minimal assistance (approximately 20% motor power) ideal for flat terrain, extending battery range, and maintaining fitness benefits.
Level 2 - Tour Mode Light to moderate assistance (40% motor power) suitable for mixed terrain and everyday commuting with balanced power consumption.
Level 3 - Sport Mode Moderate assistance (60% motor power) perfect for hills, headwinds, and when carrying cargo or passengers.
Level 4 - High Power Mode Strong assistance (80% motor power) designed for steep inclines, heavy loads, and challenging terrain.
Level 5 - Turbo Mode Maximum assistance (100% motor power) providing full motor support for steep climbs and maximum speed performance.
