Riding in Cold Weather
Your e-bike is designed to operate year-round. However, in very cold conditions or when
there is a lot of snow or slush on the ground, it is possible for the motor in the e-bike
to get wet or for the brakes to function less effectively, just as it can happen in wet
weather. Below 10 degrees Celsius, the battery will not work as well as it would in warmer
temperatures. While Lithium-Ion batteries perform better than Lead-Acid batteries in
temperature extremes, both will experience reduced performance in cold temperatures.
Also, riding the e-bike in cold temperatures may require you to replace the battery sooner
rather than later.
Maximum Load
Do not exceed the maximum load capabilities of your e-bike. You can find the exact loading
capacity listed in the technical specifications in this guide.
If you exceed the maximum load, the performance of the bike will suffer.
Exceeding the maximum load of your e-bike could cause damage to the shocks, to the
mechanism and, ultimately, even to the frame. It could also cause your motor to work too
aggressively, and may cause it to burn out.
Disconnecting the Circuit Breaker
When the circuit breaker is disconnected, all power from the battery to the e-bike is
blocked. This is useful if you are going to store your e-bike or if it is damaged and you wish
to bring it to be serviced.
Note: The circuit breaker must be on for the alarm system to work. Do not leave the
circuit breaker off in an unsafe location if you are worried about theft.
Long-Term Storage of your E-bike
If you are storing your bike for a long period, disconnect the circuit breaker. This is a safer
way to store the electric bicycle, as it prevents accidental activation of the e-bike and
makes it impossible to activate it even with the key.
Please see the section titled “The Battery” for instructions on battery maintenance while
your e-bike is being stored.
