Heat and discharge rate also will adversely affect the life and performance of the battery. If you want
more life from your battery and system, it is best to use a lower Amp setting. The lower the amps that
the system drains from the battery, the less stress (and heat) it puts on the battery cells and battery
management system. This equates to a longer cycle life and higher performing battery. If you, for
instance, use your system at full throttle and high amps continually (like climbing long, steep hills), you
will notice a degradation of your performance and range a lot sooner than someone who is not pushing
the system as hard.
Trike Storage and Charging
1.
ALWAYS check motor nuts and bolts BEFORE AND AFTER riding to make sure nothing is loose.
Riding at high speeds induces vibrations which may loosen components on the bike. This
includes wheels, the battery case, brake system, etc. If the nuts are not tight on the electric
wheel, the axle can spin in the dropouts leaving broken wires and damaged forks. These nuts
must be very tight to assure the proper performance.

OUTS OR BROKEN WIRES!
2.
ALWAYS store and charge your batteries in a cool, dry place. Failure to do so will decrease
performance and the life of the batteries.
3.
DO NOT store lithium batteries at a fully charged state (40%-60% is ideal)
4.
ALWAYS check that the motor is securely fastened to the frame
5.
ALWAYS check the integrity of the battery case and battery system. Make sure it is securely
fastened to the bike
6.
Check spokes on all three wheels. The electric wheel often requires more attention due to the
torque of the motor. Spoke and wheel maintenance are part of a normal bicycle maintenance
procedure and will be accelerated with an electric motor. Do not take chances with the spokes
and if you think they are loose, chances are you are correct. The spokes should all have the
same tension. If they are loose, tighten them yourself, or take it to your local bike shop to get
fixed.
7.
Check the pressure in your tires. The required pressure can be found on the sidewall of the tire.
Normal pressure is 10 PSI. Though the tires perform better in sand and deep snow at lower
pressures, pressures may cause sidewalls to collapse, and that is how most blowouts occur.
NOTE: HPC and Standard Bearer Machines are NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR FLAT TIRES!
8.
Check all electrical connections making sure that they are all tight. Bad contact means energy is
wasted as heat, which can cause a breakdown of wire insulation. Any wire with melted
insulation indicates a poor connection nearby. Disconnect the batteries and do not operate if
insulation is melted or wire is exposed.
