eBike technology explained

Hey, welcome to the Lectric family and congrats on the XP 3.0! It's awesome you're digging into the tech behind your ride.

For your Lectric, it uses a cadence sensor for pedal assist. This means it detects if you're pedaling and at what speed, then applies power based on your assist level setting, regardless of how hard you're pushing. The throttle bypasses the sensor entirely, giving you power on demand. Torque sensors, on the other hand, measure how hard you're pedaling, offering a much more natural and intuitive boost, almost like your own power is being amplified directly. Both have their pros and cons, but cadence is great for consistent, easy power delivery!
