INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

the bike to ensure no damage can
come to it.
Your battery should be
recharged after each use. The
normal lifecycle of the battery, if
continuously discharged and
recharged, is about 3-5 years or
800-2000 recharges, after which
the storage capacity will decline.
Again, be sure to
fully charge the
battery before the first use.
The range in distance on a full
charge is approximately 25 – 35
miles depending on your weight
class and terrain. Higher weight
classes and uneven surfaces will
require more power than lighter
weights and flatter surfaces. This
equals to 5 – 6 hours of continuous
riding, again depending on your
weight class and terrain.
Battery performance is
affected by temperature, and will
perform better in warmer
temperatures. When the
temperature is below 32°F (0°C),
the battery current may decrease
by 1/3. Consequently, the travel
range in cold environments is less
than in warmer environments, but
will return to normal when it the
battery returns to room
temperature.
Frequent braking/starting,
riding uphill/against strong winds,
starting from a standstill, or riding
on rough/muddy roads will use
extra power and lower range.
Here a few tips to prolong the
battery life under these conditions:
Frequent braking/starting – try
to look ahead and coast rather
than stop and go frequently.
Riding uphill/against strong
winds – pedal to supplement the
battery power.
Starting from a standstill – use
pedals to help bring you up to
speed, not just the throttle.
When battery meter indicates
low power remaining, switch to
manual power and avoid using
the battery.
If the bicycle is being stored,
remove the battery and recharge
it every month.
WARNING
Do not attempt to access the
Lithium battery in any way. Doing
so may cause chemical, electric,
and/or fire hazards.
