The Dolphin shows the innerworkings of its system through its colored transparent battery box. The quick acceleration and unbelieveable hill-climbing ability is due to Michael Kutter’s development of a very efficient gear system. The Velocity system is turned on by a code, so no keys are needed. The motor power can be raised or lowered with the arrow keys on the battery box. When the power support is raised however, the muscle power must be increased by the rider. So, the rider is able to choose between slow and comfortable or fast and sporty.
