Cleaning and Storage
Use a soft,wet cloth to wipe the mainframe clean. Hard to remove dirt can be scrubbed with a toothbrush and toothpaste, then
cleaned with a soft, wet cloth. Scratches on plastic parts can be polished with fine grit abrasive paper.
NOTE
Do not store or charge the battery at temperatures outside the stated limits (see Specifications). Do not puncture the battery.
Refer to your local laws and regulations regarding battery recycling and / or disposal.
A well maintained battery can perform well even after many miles of riding. Charge the battery after each ride and avoid draining
the battery completely. When used at room temperature (70%F[22°C]) the battery range and performance is at its best
;
whereas
using it at temperatures below 32°F (0°C) can decrease range and performance. Typically,at -4°F (-20°C) range can be half that
of the same battery at 70°F (22°C). Battery range will recover when temperature rises. More details are available in the App.
Typically, a fully charged battery should retain charge for 120-180 days in Standby Mode. A low-power battery should retain
charge for 30-60days in Standby Mode. Remember to charge the battery after each use. Completely draining the battery may
cause permanent damage to the battery.Electronics inside the battery record the charge-discharge condition of the battery
;
damage caused by over-discharge or under-discharge will not be covered by the Limited Warranty.
Do not ride when the ambient temperature is outside the machine poeeation temperature (see Specifications) because low / high
temperture will limit the maximum power / torque. Doing so could cause personal injury or property damage due to slips or falls.
