According to [Blix Electric Bikes](https://blixbike.com/blogs/blix-life/the-scoop-on-pedal-assist), pedal assist on a Blix electric bike provides power from the motor to help you pedal easier and move faster. When you turn on pedal assist and choose your level of assist, the motor will provide a certain level of power output as you pedal. This may feel like a slight push as you ride. To change the pedal assist (PAS) setting on a Blix bike, you can use the button pad mounted on the left handlebar with three buttons: Up, Down, and Mode (source: [Blix Support](https://support.blixbike.com/hc/en-us/articles/4405029779227-How-do-I-change-the-Pedal-Assist-PAS-setting-on-my-bike-)).
How pedal assisst work on an electric bike is that it provides power from the motor to the pedal system that would make pedaling so much easier and faster for riders.
Blix electric bikes are equipped with pedal assists that have either 0 to 4 or 0 to 5 levels. A zero level pedal assist means there is no assist provided, 1 is the lowest level of assist and gets higher and higher as the level increase to 4 or 5 which are the highest.
Most riders would choose to set the pedal assist level to 1 or 2 to keep the motor going for a longer distance. Riders can reach 8-13 mph speed easily with 1 and 2 levels of assist on pedaling which is ideal for those who just want a little push on their speed.
The lower pedal assist levels can help extend the battery range of the pedal assist and the higher the level, the more it will use the battery as well.
