3.2 Charging the battery
Never let a battery be charged unattended.
The battery’s autonomy is indicated with the 4 green LED lights located on top of the
battery, and also on the display unit located on the handlebars (see 1.3 indicator 8).
Your battery must be charged in an ambient temperature, on a non-flammable and
dry surface, away from any sources of heat, humidity or flammable materials. Also, it
must not be covered.
Here are the steps to be followed when charging your battery:
Step 1
Turn the battery off. The LED lights will be off.
Step 2
Plug the charger (which is off) into the socket and then insert the
charger’s plug into the battery, which is also off.
Step 3
the charger’s LED indicators lit up in the following manner:
• The red LED lights will be on: the battery is being charged.
• The red LED light becomes green:
the battery is charged; you can unplug the charger.

It takes 3 - 6 hours for the battery to be fully charged when using the standard charger
that’s supplied with your bike.
3.3 Battery autonomy and lifespan
3.3.1 Autonomy
The bike's autonomy ranges from 40 to 120 kilometers, as it depends on many
different factors (degree of assistance used,
topology, rider’s weight, frequent
stops/start-ups, hills, tyre
pressure, etc…)
3.3.2
Battery
Your battery is just like a household battery. It contains a limited amount of energy,
which diminishes as it is being used. When the available autonomy no longer
corresponds with your needs, you will be able to obtain a new one from your dealer.
