Care and Maintenance
You should, in general, take care of your e-bike the way you would with a regular
bicycle by keeping it dry, clean and the moving parts well lubricated. You should also
avoid parking your e-bike in exposed areas whenever possible.
You should check the effectiveness of the brakes before each use.
l
For your e-Bike, you should also take note of the following:
²
Your e-bike is designed for regular country road use for a single person.
Using your e-bike for extreme maneuvers, such as extreme off-road
use, jumping, or carrying the excessive load will damage the e-bike and
could cause serious injury.
²
Do not use high-pressure water streams to clean your e-bike, as water
might seep inside the motor or the wiring compartment and cause
rusting of electrical parts or short circuits.
²
Avoid parking your e-bike outside when there is rain or snow. At the
end of a trip where there was rain or snow, bring the e-bike inside and
use a clean, dry towel to eliminate any wetness.
²
Be sure you do not lose both keys and remote controls. If you lost one
key, you should immediately make a copy as a back-up. If you lost both
keys, you will be unable to remove the battery from the e-bike. If you
lost both remote control and the keys, you can’t turn on the bike.

Special Care for the Battery and the Charger
²
Use only the supplied charger to charge your battery. Do not use an
unauthorized substitute. If your charger is lost or damaged, contact your
dealer to order a replacement.
²
Do not open or alter the battery or the battery charger.
²
Do not place the battery near fire or corrosive substances. Do not
immerse in water or other liquids.
²
Avoid subjecting the battery from high temperatures, such as directly
under the hot sun, for prolonged periods of time.
²
Do not connect (short circuit) the two poles of the battery.
²
After much use, your battery's charge holding capacity will decrease. If
you find that your battery does not hold sufficient charge even for short
trips, you should contact your dealer to order a replacement. Under
normal use, the battery will undergo 500 charging and discharging cycles.
²
If the battery will not be used for an extended period of time, charge it
fully and recharge it every month. Store it in a cool place.
