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, period-
ically 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 death. Be sure to chose the correct bike for your intended purpose.
