Storing the battery
The Li-ion battery the Outlaw utilizes is the safest and latest technology in Li-ion battery cells. It is recommended that you
do not store the battery in extremely hot conditions. If the bicycle is being stored indoors in a cool environment, the
battery should be stored on the bicycle in the ―OFF‖ position. The battery should be kept away from fires or sparks and
also away from possible water damage.
f)
Battery power indicator
The Outlaw has a 3 LED light indicator on the handlebar throttle displaying the battery
power available. There is also a 3 LED light display battery indicator on the battery
itself. The LED indicator on the throttle is explained in Chapter 9: Electrical
Components, section d. ―Throttle‖. The indicator on the battery is explained below. The
battery indicator has 3 LEDs displaying 3 levels of power. When pressing the indicator
button, the lights will light according to power storage. When pressing the button, if the
3 LEDs light up, the battery is at over 50% power to full. If only 2 LEDs light up, the
battery is at 50% power or possibly less and should be charged. If only 1 LED lights
up, the battery is near depletion and should be recharged immediately.
g)
Battery replacement
If your battery is no longer working properly and needs replacing, you can contact your local authorized dealer for a
replacement or contact Prodeco Technologies directly. Contact [email protected] or call 800-943-6190 to
discuss the issue and determine if it is the battery. It is very rare for a LiFEPO4 battery to have issues in the first 2 years
and there may be another situation with the bicycle rather than the battery, if the bicycle is not powering properly. The
battery is covered under warranty for the first 2 years of use. After 2 years, a replacement battery can be purchased by
contacting your dealer or Prodeco Technologies. The battery part number and price can be found in Chapter 12.

Chapter 9: Electrical Components
The Outlaw electric components were developed to be maintenance free with no serviceable parts. There are 5
components used to power your bicycle. Each component can easily be replaced by the average person with minimal
mechanical skills. The design has been simplified so your local bicycle shop can service it without issue and minimal
time. Please review the sections below on the electrical components used on your Prodeco bicycle and how to replace a
component for a new one. Each electrical component is listed, except for the battery which was detailed in Chapter 8.
Each individual component part number can be found in Chapter 12.
a)
HUB motor
The HUB motor utilized on your Outlaw is one of the most advanced e-bike HUB motors developed today. It is a high
efficiency, high torque brushless direct drive motor with a simplified design utilizing sealed bearings and no gears. The rear
dropouts incorporate Prodeco
’s uniquely designed stainless steel axle plates which have been specifically engineered to
spread the torque of the motor through the dropout and rear stays. The stainless steel plates further act as safety devices
strengthening the rear aluminum dropouts. When installing the motor, you must always install the axle plates.
