Balancing your Battery

 

When you first receive your bike, it’s important that you follow these steps to 

ensure that your battery cells are properly balanced in order to keep them operating 

as efficiently as possible. 

1. For the first initial charge upon receiving your bike (or after long storage times), be 

sure to charge the battery for at least 4 hours before riding. 

 

Note: We recommend that you let the battery charge for at least 4 hours for  

 

the first 3 charges to make sure the cells balance properly.

2. After the first 3 rides, you may begin normal charging procedures. 

Storing Your Battery 

 

 

 

If you plan on storing your bike (or spare battery) for longer than two weeks at 

a time, please be sure to follow these guidelines in order to maintain the lifespan of 

your battery. 

 

It is recommended that you do not leave the battery at lower than an 80% 

charge when storing for long periods of times. If storing for a month or longer, peri-

odically check the battery and be sure to keep the charge up to at least 80%

 

Store your battery in a cool, dry area away from water and other elements at a 

temperature between 50 °F – 77 °F (10 °C - 25°C).  

 

Failure to follow proper battery care practices can result in unnecessary wear 

 

to the components, battery, and/or charger, which could lead to a battery 

 

that under-performs, or becomes non functional. Loss of battery capacity is  

 

not covered by warranty.

TAKING CARE

Service

 

Technological advances have made eBikes and their components more  

 

complex, thus it is impossible for this manual to cover all of the information 

 

required to repair/maintain your eBike. It’s important that you have any

 

repairs or maintenance that is not covered in this manual, done by a qualified 

 

professional in order to reduce the chances of an accident/possible injury. 

Lifespan

 

Like any machine, an eBike and its components will be subject to wear and 

 

tear over time. Different parts and materials will have varying life spans, and 

 

when a components lifespan is exceed, it can suddenly fail, resulting in

 

serious injury or even death for the rider. 

 

Be sure to check your eBike and components thoroughly for signs of  

 

 

scratches, cracks, fraying or discoloration as any parts with these kinds of 

 

visible distress may be at the end of their lifespan. 

 

Components may be covered for a period of time through the warranty,    

 

however there is no guarantee that a product will last the term of the 

 

warranty. The lifespan of your eBike and its components is related to the   

 

riding you do, and the care that you take. 

 

A crash or heavy impact can put incredible stress on eBike components,    

 

causing them to wear out prematurely. Components that suffer from 

 

extreme stress can fail suddenly, causing loss of control, serious injury, or  

 

even death. Be sure to chose the correct bike for your intended purpose.
