BATTERY AND ELECTRIC COMPONENTS CARE
Do not wash your bike with a pressure washer or submerge it or the electric system
components. All the pedelec system components have an IP54 water resistance rating that
protects them against rain and splashes. However, the use of pressure washers may allow
water to ingress into the components and damage them.
Avoid using your bicycle in extreme weather conditions. All the pedelec system components
have an IP54 water resistance rating that protects them against rain and splashes. However,
extreme weather conditions may damage the components.
Avoid transporting your bicycle outside your car when it is raining. All the pedelec
system components have an IP54 water resistance rating that protects them against rain
and splashes. However, the speed of your vehicle may increase the effects of the rain and
damage the components.
Do not leave your bicycle exposed to high temperatures for long periods of time. It may
damage the components on your bicycle.
Observe the recommended temperature ranges of use (discharge), charge and storage
(internal battery). The use, charge and storage outside these recommended temperature
ranges may affect the battery cells and reduce their life and available range.
The following table shows the maximum and minimum ranges stated by the cell
manufacturer.
Generally, the use, charge and storage of batteries below 0ºC will affect the available
range for charge of a battery and overtime may reduce the battery life.
TEMPERATURE RANGES
Charge: 10ºC - 40ºC
Discharge (use) -15ºC - 50ºC
Storage: 0ºC - 30ºC
Avoid storing your bicycle (internal battery) or Range Extender for long periods of time
without monitoring the charge levels.
If planning to store the battery for a long period of time, completely charge the battery
before putting it away and re-charge it every 2 months to avoid the battery levels
falling below 10%.
USE OF THE BATTERY BELOW 10% CHARGE: Avoid discharging your battery
regularly below 10% of charge. Charge levels below 10% may affect the life of the cells
and the battery balance.
Avoid charging the bike continuously for more than 5 straight hours and always
charge your bicycle or battery in a place where you have visual access to it so the
charger can be disconnected if any anomaly is detected, such as smoke, strange
