6. Do not remove
or
insert
the plug if it’s
wet
, as this may cause electric
shocks. If the plug is wet, completely dry before using.
7.
Ensure the battery or charging
cables are removed
before maintenance or
repairs are carried out.
8.
All out batteries are supplied with a
2 year warranty
, should a fault occur in
this period, Lekker with replace the battery. Normal ageing as well as wear and
tear do not constitute as material deficiency.
9.
Do not
place the battery into
fresh water or sea water
, and do not allow the
battery terminals to get wet. Doing so may cause overheating, bursting, or
ignition of the battery
10.
Take care to ensure that the
battery does not get too hot
. Battery ageing
increases sharply with temperatures above
40 °C
. Placing the battery in direct
sunlight can cause a battery to heat up considerably. Take care to ensure you
do not leave the battery in a hot car and park your bike in the shade during bike
rides. If you cannot avoid the heat, make sure you do not charge the battery
at
the same time.
11.
If you ride constantly using maximum motor assist, your motor will always
need a higher current. Higher currents cause the battery to age faster. Use the
assist modes
judiciously,
cycle through them as you would a normal gear
system,
Starting off in a high assist level is not recommended
and can cause
you to lose control of the bike.

Please take care when using E-Bikes on
loose terrain
, the added power
from the motor can cause the bike to lose control in these situations, Please
remember to be
aware of your surroundings
when using an E-bike, do not
give too much attention to the screen when riding.
13.
It is
law
in Australia to always
use a helmet when riding
, it is also required
in many states to
use lights
when riding in low visibility conditions. We also
highly recommend wearing a helmet in countries where this is not compulsory.
14.
All pedelec E-bikes must be
limited to 250w power output
and motor
assist
cannot
exceed
25km/h
, Lekker Bikes will not be held liable for any
aftermarket modifications to the motor or system that may have an effect on
it’s performance.
15.
Lekker Bikes recommends servicing your E-bike every
4-6 months
to
ensure correct working of the bicycle, by a trained mechanic, and
will not be
held responsible
for any misuse, incorrect fitting or assembly of the bike.
16. Do not make any changes
to your electric system or fit any other products
to it aimed at increasing the power output from your e-bike. As a rule you will
shorten the service life of the system and risk damaging the Drive Unit (motor)
and the e-bike. In addition there is also the danger that you
will void the
warranty of your e-bike.
Furthermore, as a result of inexpert work on the
system you will jeopardise your safety and that of other road users which risks
accidents caused by manipulations, high personal liability costs and potentially
even the danger of criminal prosecution.
