Storing
Store pedelec, on-board computer, battery and
charger in a clean, dry place where they are
protected from sunlight. Do not store outdoors
to ensure a long service life.
Temperatures under -10 °C or over +40 °C must
generally be avoided.
Storage at about 10 °C to 20 °C is beneficial to a
long battery life.
Store pedelec, on-board computer, battery and
charger separately.
4.4.1
Break in operation
Remove the on-board computer from its mount
if the pedelec is not going to be used for up to
four weeks. Store the on-board computer away
safely in a dry environment at room
temperature.
If the pedelec is removed from service for
longer than four weeks, you need to prepare it
for a break in operation.
4.4.1.1 Preparing a break in operation
Remove the rechargeable battery from the
pedelec.
Charge battery to 30%–60%.
The pedelec needs to be cleaned with a damp
cloth and preserved with wax spray. Never wax
the friction surfaces of the brake.
Before longer periods without use, it is
recommended to have the specialist dealer carry
out an inspection and basic cleaning and apply
preservative agent.
4.4.1.2 Carrying out a break in operation
1
Store the pedelec, battery and charger in a dry,
clean environment. We recommend storing
them in uninhabited rooms with smoke alarms.
Dry locations with an ambient temperature
between 10 °C and 20 °C are ideal.
2
Recharge the on-board computer battery for at
least 1 hour every 3 months.
3
Check the battery level after 6 months. If only
one LED on the battery level indicator lights up,
recharge the battery to between 30% and 60%.
