ERROR CODES
If the pedal assistance is not working properly, we recommend that you first check the various cable connections
and verify that the battery is sufficiently charged. As with any electronic system, a malfunction is possible. If this
is the case, please contact your Babboe dealer so that any repairs can be performed quickly.
The following table shows the error codes and their significance in the system. Potential causes and sources
serve as a guideline to determining where the error may occur.

BATTERY & CHARGING
Range
The range is the total distance you can travel with your electric Babboe cargo bike on a single trip without recharging.
The average range of your electric Babboe cargo bike is typically > 40 km. However, the range is dependent on
many factors that can significantly shorten the range. Many of these factors can be overcome to positively affect
the range.
Influencing factors:
• The total weight (weight of the cargo bike + rider + load in the box)
• The resistance (wind, tire pressure*, speed, road conditions and differences in altitude)
• Your driving behaviour (shifting gears up and down in a timely manner and driving speed)
• The outdoor temperature
• Age of the battery (battery capacity decreases as the battery ages)
* Tires slowly deflate. Make sure you pump more air in the tires of your Babboe cargo bike every two weeks.
IMPORTANT! PLEASE NOTE:
• To extend the range, the top speed of the assistance will slowly decrease as the battery drains.
The performance of your battery will decrease at low temperatures.
• The range is optimal at a measured temperature of approxi/-25 °C. The guideline is that the capacity
decreases by 1% with a temperature drop of 1 °C.
Capacity of the battery
The battery of your Babboe cargo bike has a capacity of 11.4 Ah and a voltage of 32.85 volts. The battery
provides 374 Wh.
IMPORTANT! PLEASE NOTE:
• In order to reach the maximum capacity of the battery, it must be fully charged/discharged at least 10 times.
• Each year, the capacity may be reduced with up to 15%. The decrease is dependent on the usage and charging
cycles. It may happen that Babboe cargo bikes purchased at the same time have different ranges. New
batteries provide at least their minimum specified values, but there could be a slight variation. It is possible
that one of the Babboe cargo bikes performs above the specifications.
