The Axon turns on with a switch underneath the seat. This enables the electric system but doesn't switch on the motor. For this, a second step is required – pressing the middle button on the right of the LCD screen. There are further two buttons either side for increasing power, with three levels available. The small LCD panel shows current speed, odometer, battery level and power level.
There are also buttons on the left-hand side of the handlebars to turn the integrated front and rear lights off and on, plus triggering a digital horn. One thing you won’t find on the handlebars, however, is a any way to change gears, because the Axon Pro is single speed. This would be a limitation on a regular bike, but on an e-bike you can use the motor instead. The standard gearing is about right for a flat ride with the lowest power level or no motor at all, and you can simply add more assistance to help with any steep hills.
The controls are easy to get the hang of, and there’s a quasi-throttle control you can trigger with your thumb to give a temporary boost when pushing off without needing to pedal first.
