Remove the battery by pulling the handle shown above after unlocking the battery with the key
You may remove the battery to charge or the battery can be charged in the frame. For
transport by car, we recommend taking the battery out of the bike and storing inside
the car, in a safe place. When mounting the battery back into the frame, insert it in the
same fashion that it was removed. The base of the battery should be inserted first and
pushed into the frame of the bike slowly. Once the battery is reinsterted into the bike the
key should be locked. It is a tight fit and this may take a couple of attempts to become
proficient.
It is very important that the battery is locked into place before you use the bike again. Pull
gently on the battery handle to make sure it is definitely locked.
Place the battery back into the chassis and checked that it is secure and locked by gently pulling
the handle

Please consider these important points for best use:
Keys:
The keys for your bike are zip tied to your handlebars. You will have 2 keys so please keep
one as a spare separately. Replacing keys can only be done in the Dillenger Warehouse.
Battery Indicator:
The battery light indicator on the battery is not an indication of battery charge. The only
approximation of battery charge level is on the LCD display. The only accurate way to
know that the bike is 100% charged is by charging it until the charger light shows it is
fully charged (next page). Conversely, the only way to accurately know that the battery
is flat is to use the bike until the LCD cuts out and does not turn back on. You do not risk
damaging the electric system by running the bike flat. Just make sure you charge the bike
after every ride.
maintenence:
Make sure you routinely check the tightness of key fasteners (nuts and bolts) such as the
front wheel, rear wheel, seat, handlebars, forks, pedals, brakes, etc.
Battery Charge:
Make sure you keep the battery topped up as often as practical. Charge the bike after
every use, at least once a month if not being used and before each ride if you have not
charged it in a week. It is not necessary to run the battery down at all. Leaving the battery
flat runs the risk of completely depleting the cells which could cause premature battery
failure.
Tyre Pressure:
Make sure your tyres are pumped up to the correct PSI, which is indicated on the tyre side
wall.
Power Switch:
The battery has an on/off switch located near the handle. You must turn the switch on
before powering up the bike, and turn it off after use. The LCD display turns the system
on, once the battery is turned on.
