Charging your E-Bike

Charging your e-bike is a simple process. You require the following:

 

• The charger that came with your e-bike.

 

• A 110V household electrical outlet.

Charger Warning

Only use the chargers that were supplied with your e-bike. Using chargers that do not 

have specifi cations identical to those which came with the e-bike could irreparably dam-

age your e-bike’s battery and electrical systems, and may cause injury.

To charge your e-bike, follow these steps:

 

1. 

Turn off  the e-bike and remove the key from the “ignition.”

 

2.

 Plug the female end of the charger cable into the charging slot on the e-bike.  

 

     This is found on the outside casing of the e-bike, in front of and just underneath 

 

     the seat.

 

3.

 Plug the male end of the charger power cable into your wall socket. This should 

 

     be a110v household electricity supply. You can also use a portable generator, if 

 

     necessary, but make sure it provides 110V current.

 

4.

 Allow the e-bike’s battery to charge for the appropriate amount of time (6-12 

 

     hours).

 5.

 Disconnect the charger when the LED light on the charger is green. The batteries 

 

     have been fully charged.

If your charger’s LED status light does not change from red to green over an extended 

period of time, for perhaps more than 14 hours, and the battery is very hot, the battery or 

charger may need replacing. Stop charging and bring both to your Daymak dealer imme-

diately. Do not charge the battery.
