Release the saddle’s hinge mechanism by
pushing on the lever located under the rear
portion of the saddle (Fig. 6B). Lift up on the
saddle and tilt it forward until the saddle is
vertical (Fig. 6C).
Lift the Energy Set’s retractable sliding
carrying handle and pull up with one hand,
supporting the bottom of the Energy Set with
the other hand once it clears the Energy Set
compartment (Fig. 6D).
Tilt the saddle back to its horizontal and
locked position.
When replacing the Energy Set, make sure
the charger cord/power lights are on the right
side (visible from the riding position) as you
slide the Energy Set into its compartment.
Carefully align the guide plate on the rear of
the Energy Set with the compartment’s
grooves and slowly slide the Energy Set into
place. You will hear a “click” indicating the
base of the Energy Set is contacting the
bottom of the compartment and battery leads.
To store the Energy Set
Before storing, charge the battery to its
maximum capacity. The Energy Set will
discharge automatically and completely after
three months. If you have stored the Energy
Set for longer than two months without
charging, discharge and recharge the battery.
(Please repeat this every two months.)
In case you forgot to discharge your battery
after 2 months, a new recharge will be
necessary. Your dealer will have the
necessary equipment available in order to
carry out this task for you.
WARNING: Leaving the Energy Set in a
discharged state for longer than three
months may effect the long-term life of
the battery. Store Lafree/Energy Set in
the OFF position. However, if left in the
ON position, “automatic sleep” will
engage after 10 minutes.
CAUTION: Store Energy Set in a low, cool,
dry, level, secure area with good ventilation
and away from any heat source.
If storing Lafree with Energy Set in place, turn
ignition to OFF position. Leaving ignition in the
ON position while stored or parked will result
in more rapid energy loss.
6.2.2 Transporting Lafree
When transporting Lafree, it is best to remove
the Energy Set as it is easier to lift and
manoeuvre the bicycle.
CAUTION: Never lay Lafree on its side with
the Energy Set in place as damage to the
lead acid battery can occur, as well as
leakage of acid that can cause injury to body
