3. Charging
You can charge the battery pack when it is in the
bike or taken out of it. See section 4 for details of
how to remove the battery pack from the frame.
Connect the charger to the charge point (A). The
charging process will start automatically as soon
as the charger is connected. A complete charge
cycle takes two or three hours.
Advice on charging
•
Before using the bike for the first time, charge the battery pack completely until all the LEDs
on the control unit are illuminated.
•
Recharge the battery pack after every journey. The battery pack does not need to be empty
before you can charge it. The battery pack will stay in good condition if you recharge the bike
after every trip (regardless of the distance). Charging will stop automatically when the battery
is fully charged.
•
Disconnect the charger when the battery pack is fully charged.
•
A battery pack can become defective if it is emptied and not recharged.
•
In the event of long-term storage, charge the battery pack fully and disconnect the charger
from the battery pack. Charge the battery pack for at least two hours every two months.
•
Ensure that the battery pack is charged within the temperature parameters (from 0 ºC to 40
ºC). This prolongs the service life and improves the performance of the battery pack.
