Storage
Keep your bicycle in a dry location away from the weather and the sun.
Direct sunlight may cause paint to fade or rubber and plastic parts to
crack. Before storing your bicycle for a long period of time, clean and
lubricate all components and wax the frame. Deflate the tires to half
pressure and hang the bicycle off the ground. Charge your batteries and
make sure they are protected from water. Batteries should be charged
every 30 (Lithium Ion) or 90 (SLA) days to avoid capacity loss. Don't cover
the bicycle with plastic as "sweating” will result which may cause rusting.
Please notice that your bicycle warranty does not cover paint damage
(except as outlined in the warranty section of this manual), rust, corrosion,
dry rot or theft.
Security
It is advisable that the following steps be taken to prepare for and help
prevent possible theft.
1. Maintain a record of the bicycle’s serial number, generally
located on the frame underneath the bottom bracket or on the
head tube.
2. Register the bicycle with the local police.
3. Invest in a high quality bicycle lock that will resist hack saws
and bolt cutters. Always lock your bicycle to an immovable
object if it is left unattended.
ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
Battery gauge
When the throttle or sensor is engaged (powering the motor) and the
bicycle is in motion, the LEDs on the battery gauge (on the throttle or
separate unit) indicate instantaneous line voltage as measured at the
battery terminals – not the available energy in the battery pack.
The line voltage willwwing out from a dead stop, or going up a steep hill,
the motor will be under a high load and may show a reduced number of
LEDs or show the “Yellow” or even “Red” LED.
When the throttle is disengaged (i.e. no power to the motor due to
the bicycle being stationary or coasting) the LEDs on the throttle will
indicate the voltage of the battery pack. The voltage of the battery pack
will rise when no load is on the motor. The best indication of how much
battery life is remaining is to check the throttle LEDs, after reaching
cruising speed, on a flat straight road as this will allow the battery
voltage to stabilize and give a much more accurate reading.
