The main LED display is water-proof, centrally mounted and easy to see while riding. The big blue display gives you the information you need most, namely how much assistance is being provided and how much battery power you have left. Unlike an electric car, draining your battery completely on an eBike is not a complete disaster – as you can carry on cycling the conventional way, until you reach a 13-amp wall socket.
The display also tells you speed and distance, which can be switched between miles and kilometres.
The left grip includes an up-down control that lets you set the assistance level from one (minimum) to five (maximum). It also lets you control illumination. Where the rubber grip meets the handlebars, there is a ‘throttle' that lets you add in an electrical assistance ‘boost' when needed. So you could ride the Scrambler C in manual mode, then twist the throttle when needed. We were told by Mark2 that this was a common way for riders to use this kind of hybrid technology. This gives them the best workout possible most of the time, but kicking in the power when needed – for example on a hill or in traffic.
