Safeguard your battery to insure continued high performance. It should be recharged after each use. The normal full-cycle 

battery life if it is continuously discharged and re-charged is about one year or 300 cycles or recharges, after which the storage 

capacity of the battery will gradually decline. If it is not fully discharged and is recharged regularly, the service life of the battery will 

be at its maximum. The batteries supplied are a top quality Maintenance Free Sealed Lead Acid Batteries specifically designed for this 

vehicle.

CAUTION! Fully charge the batteries before the first use!

 

 

Failure to do this can result in decreased battery performance for the life of the bike. Fully charge the battery each time you 

use the bike.

 

Battery performance is affected by the temperature, and is generally better in warm temperatures. When the temperature is 

below 32 F (0 C) the battery current may decrease by a third. Consequently the travel range on a full charge in cold environments is 

much less, but will return when the temperature is back to room temperature again. 

 

Frequent braking and starting, riding uphill, traveling against a strong wind, starting from a standstill and riding on rough or 

muddy roads, and carrying more than one person, or heavy loads will consume extra battery power and shorten the range. A few tips 

to prolong the battery life during these conditions is as follows:

 

Frequent Braking – try to look ahead and coast rather than stop and go frequently

 

Riding uphill or against a stiff wind – pedal to supliment the battery power

 

When starting from a standstill – use the pedals to help bring you up to speed.

 

When the battery meter indicates the voltage is low, switch to manual power and avoid using the battery so you don’t 

shorten the battery life.

 

If the battery is being stored, remove the battery from the bicycle and recharge it every month.

Always Turn off the motor and remove the key from the ignition before and during charging to prevent 

serious damage to the controller and to the batteries!

 

This electric bicycle can be used in the rain, however, 

it must not be submerged in water or puddles.

 The controller, motor 

and other electrical devices may be short circuited, causing damage and created possible dangerous situations.

 

DO NOT use chargers or other components other than that which has been approved and tested 

by this company. This company is not responsible for damages caused by the use of other products not specifically 

designed and tested for use with this electric bike.

  Battery Chargers

 contain sensitive electronics. Improper use, dropping, or  sudden jolts can damage the charger  and its internal 

electronics.
