Warning
- Do not adjust the cable tension only to compensate pad wear.
- After you replace with new pads, check to see if the rotor and pads have contact with each other. If so, go back
to step 1 and 2 to adjust until a 0.3 mm clearance is visible.

BATTERY
The battery is the most important component on your Super 73. Following a few simple rules, you can optimize
its life. Here are a few tips :
• Do not store a discharged battery. It could go into deep discharge which will reduce its life.
• Make it a habit to recharge at the end of each ride, so your bike will always be ready to go again.
• Even if it can withstand storage temperatures of 14°F to 104°F (-10°C to 40°C), you can optimize its shelf
life by storing it at room temperature 68°F (20°C).
• Observe operating conditions between 23°F to 104°F (-5°C to 40°C).
• Do not leave your battery exposed to high temperatures or direct sunlight for long periods of time (for
example, on the back of a car in direct sunlight).
• Please ensure that the contacts are always clean and do not insert metal objects.
• Do not dispose the battery in your trash. There are proper disposal methods for lithium-ion batteries.
Please check your local waste management regulations.
• Warning: Lithium-ion battery transportation is subject to certain rules.
RANGE
The maximum range of a full charge depends on many variables such as: age of battery, type of terrain and
incline, rider weight, speed, outside temperature, driving style, amount of pedaling, or tire inflation.
Conditions that affect your battery’s range:
•
Temperature: Extreme cold and heat can affect the batteries capacity.
•
Total Number of Charge Cycles: As the battery ages, total capacity can decrease. The battery has a total of
1000 full cycles when it’s new.
•
Wind: Riding into a strong headwind can decrease range.
•
Road Conditions: Excessively rough or hilly terrain requires the consumption of more power.
•
Load: Carrying extra weight on the bike or in a backpack will use more energy.
•
Operator Weight
•
Repeated Acceleration from a standing start.
•
Proper Gear Usage: Taking full advantage of the available gear will significantly increase range.
•
Poor Maintenance: Under inflated tires, mis-adjusted brakes, a dry or dirty chain, can decrease range.
Range in cold weather:
•
In case of extreme cold, the range of your electric bike is reduced. It is a normal physical process, and in
no case a damage or defect of the battery. If you use your battery when temperatures rise, its energy will
increase again.
•
We advise you to store the battery and charge it at room temperature during cold days and to use your
!
