3.4 Correct use and attention of battery:
Where possible and practical always fully charge your battery pack after each ride as this
will ensure the longest possible life of the battery. If the battery is left in a state of low
charge for long periods the battery life will be limited. For batteries held in long term
storage (ie. longer than 3 months), it should be fully charged at least monthly to ensure
optimum condition.
3.5 Battery maintenance
Batteries decline in performance over time. If you experience reduced running distance,
the batteries may require additional maintenance or replacement. Contact me-bike
Australia where assistance is required.
★
Do not mount another brand of battery on our electric bicycle. The different polarity
could result in the damage to the electronic controller.
★
In low temperature condition (below 15C), the battery capacity and mileage will be
reduced by 20%-30%.
Chapter 4: Electric motor and maintenance
4.1 Permanent magnet (brushless) motor
The electric bicycle motor is usually a permanent magnet (brushless) motor which
features high output torque and efficiency. Maintenance is not required for this motor.
Regular checks should be carried out to ensure that all component parts are secured on
the bike and that all screws etc are tightened.
When the motor is working, some noise is normal.
★
Do not ride electric bicycle when the water level exceeds the height of the axle of the
motor. The motor could become impregnated with water and malfunction necessitating
expensive repairs or replacement.

6.1 Lubricant parts and cycle
Parts requiring lubrication are the crank axle, chain and front fork. Please clean and
lubricate the parts every six months.
We recommend any additional exposed nuts or bolts that may be subject to corrosion
from pooling water to be sprayed with WD-40 or CRC -56 or similar.
6.2 Regular checks:
Parts such as front forks, front and rear wheel, seat, handlebar and brake are necessary to
be checked at regular intervals to ensure the safe operation of the bike.
