The Santana CDL is best if:

Dual controls With throttle control and pedal assist, the Santana-CDL is easy to ride. Electric controls are on the left, gear shift and throttle on the right. To get going, switch on the electrics by pressing the middle [mode] button next to the trip computer on the left. Change your assistance level if you wish (there are 5 levels, change by pressing the up or down buttons). There are 7 gears, gear 1 gives you the biggest torque, for climbing the steepest hills, gear 7 the smallest torque and fastest speed, for flat road cruising. Twist down the throttle like on a motobike or start pedalling and the Sant Ana will woosh you along nicely! The Santana-CD is also easy to pedal with no power. Why choose a chain drive? The chain drive (also called crank drive) motor powers the bike the same way humans do, via the chain. By choosing the best gear to suit your terrain, the motor will contine running at high speed, maintaining maximum power output, result in much more efficient speed and hill climbing. And if you want to use just the throttle without pedalling, the Sant-Ana CDL will do this perfectly. |

Power delivery is very gradual on the Santana-CDL.
However, this power is transmitted through chain and gears, you should squeeze the brake handles slightly to cut out the motor momentarily when changing gears to protect the derailleur.
There is also this useful maneuver to change gear more smoothly: throttle up, stop pedalling, thottle down, change gear and throttle up again, very much like you would do with your car.
