The Cougar has a 7 speed Freewheel mounted on to the side of the motor.
It can be operated with or without power assistance. It is possible to instantly switch from manual to power assist without interruption of peddle rotation. Power assistance can be used continuously although in order to conserve battery power it is good practice to anticipate gear changes when approaching an incline and to use assistance when extra power is needed.
The Cougar was designed and built to make life easier and more pleasant for cyclists.
No matter whether you encounter headwinds, rain or hills, with the Cougar as your backup you will always have the upper hand giving you that boost when ever you need it. Its user-friendliness and superior help function make it the No. 1 hand cycle on the market.
Range
The Cougar allows a range of action approx 12 miles on power alone. This means increased mobility with little effort. The range achieved by a single battery charge depends on various factors. These are the condition of the battery, the road conditions and particularly the cyclist's own effort.
Power Pack
The Hienzmann power pack is a very sophisticated piece of equipment. The standard pack contains the Li-ion batteries, a very clever battery monitor, and a very sophisticated electronic controller with numerous safety features.
