Autonomy and battery duration
The autonomy of the battery supplied with the electrically power assisted cycle and, therefore, the
relevant distance data estimated in km, may vary significantly depending on the specific mode of
use (total load transported, how hard the rider pedals the bike, level of electric pedal assistance
detected, how often the rider departs and restarts), the mechanical and electrical conditions of the
product (tyre pressure and wear, battery efficiency level) and external influences (slopes and road
surface, atmospheric conditions).
The capacity and performance of the battery will decrease over time due to the electrochemical
deterioration of the battery cells.
It is impossible to predict its duration with accuracy, since it depends above all on the type of
use and stress to which it is subjected. To promote the longevity of the battery, it is advisable to
store it in a dry environment and protected from direct exposure to sunlight and preferably at an
internal temperature of 15-25 ° C, but never below 0 ° C or above + 45 ° C, ideally recharge at
room temperature and avoid overcharging or its complete discharge during use and recharging
the battery at regular intervals even if you do not use the pedal-assisted bicycle for an extended
period (at least once every 3/4 weeks). Cold, in general, decreases battery performance. If used
during the winter, the battery should be charged and stored at room temperature and inserted in
the electrically power assisted cycle only shortly before it is used.
Using a battery charger that differs from the one supplied, which is not suitable or approved, to
charge the e-bike battery may damage it or involve other potential risks.
Never leave the e-bike unsupervised while it is charging.
Do not switch on or ride the e-bike during charging.
Keep out of the reach of children during charging.
Do not place anything on top of the battery charger during use; do not allow any liquid or metal to
get inside the battery charger.
The battery charger heats up during the battery charging cycle.
Do not charge the battery immediately after use. Allow the battery to cool down before charging it.
The item should not be charging for extended periods. Overcharging reduces battery life and poses
additional potential hazards.
Do not allow the battery to completely discharge to avoid damaging it and causing it to lose
efficiency. Damage caused by the battery being left uncharged for a long period is irreversible
and is not covered by the limited warranty. Once the damage has occurred, the battery cannot
be recharged (the battery must not be dismantled by unqualified personnel, as this could lead
to electric shocks, short circuits or even major safety incidents). Charge the battery at regular
intervals (at least once every 3-4 weeks), even if the electrically power assisted cycle has not been
used for an extended period.
Charge the battery in a dry environment, away from flammable materials (e.g. materials that may
burst into flame), preferably at an indoor temperature of 15-25°C, but never below 0°C or above +
45°C.
Carry out regular visual inspection of the charger and charger cables. Do not use the battery
charger if it is damaged.
