Okay will investigate. Many thanks

The button marked ‘cur’ on the right is to switch both lights on and off together. And was happily doing that before I messed with it. Now that ‘cur’ button still switches the front light on and off, but the rear light is on permanently until I switch the unit off completely

No problem with the front light, it still switches on and off with the button. The lights were already fitted to the bike - I didn’t add them

So I’ve been tinkering with the lcd 861 display unit on my bike. Just looking through the options and getting familiar with it. Normally, if you press the button marked ‘cur’ both front and rear lights come on. Press again and they go off, all very straightforward - however since my tinkering, the rear light has come on and stayed on. I didn’t notice when it came on and the ‘cur’ button now just switches the front light on and off, with the rear one staying on. I’ve tried going back through the menu to try to replicate what I might have done but nothing is working. The light goes off when I switch the unit off. Any ideas what I might have pressed?

That’s a really useful video - thanks!

Thanks for all the advice - much appreciated

So I said I would come back and let you know how I get on with these gears. I took it out of the car and the chain had fallen off! As I’m a complete novice and definitely not mechanically minded, I thought my ride was over before it had started. But I did manage to get it back on. I’m wondering if I accidentally changed gear while fighting it into or out of my car. I didn’t switch the battery on at first. Changing up the gears with the blue button was really smooth, but coming back down was clunky and raspy. I had to jiggle the lever to just past the gear number to get it to go in properly. Not sure if I’ve caused some damage already. I then put the electric assist on and it tried to catapult me through a fence. So I came home, like a sulky teenager. Really hoping I get to grips with this. I’ve got a motorbike licence, yet am struggling with an electric bike

That’s perfect! Thank you

I will come back and let you know how I get on. So far I’ve only ridden it up and down the car park in first gear. When I put the assist on - just level one, I felt like I was in a catapult and braked quite harshly. This continued down the car park. A jerky start, but hopefully I will progress to 2nd gear soon...

Brilliant! Thanks so much for your replies. I didn’t go expensive as it, and me, are more than likely to end up horizontal

Thick not think!

So does that move the lever as well? If not, how do I change down again? Sorry if I’m sounding think...but where bikes are concerned - I am!

Thank you for the quick reply.

Hello everyone, I’m new here and am about to spontaneously combust. I’ve just bought my first ebike ever, and my first any kind of bike for at least 20 years. I’ve managed to put it together and it definitely resembles a bike. However, on the right hand handlebar, just below the Shimano gears lever, is a blue button with a ‘+’ sign on it. I’ve trawled the internet and read every word of the instruction manual, and watched loads of YouTube videos - but nothing tells me what this blue button does and when I might need to use it. I’m sure it’s one of things that everyone knows...but please tell me. Thank you
