BATTERY AND CHARGER CARE

Vamoose cycle batteries provide up to 800 charging cycles. However, all 
lithium ion batteries reduce capacity on each charge. To maintain optimum 
battery life:

• 

Keep your battery away from extreme environments. The most suitable 
temperature for the battery is -10°C to +35°C or 14°F to 95°F. Keep the 
battery away from heat, fire, or flammable substances and prevent the 
battery from falling and getting wet. Do not insert metal into the battery.

• 

Frequent acceleration at full throttle will drain the battery more quickly 
than you may expect. To conserve battery power, gently apply the 
throttle, and use lower PAS modes.

• 

If you are not going to use the battery for a long time, take the battery out 
of your Vamoose cycle, and store it with 50%-100% battery left. Do not 
use the battery when it has less than 10% capacity left.

•  All Vamoose cycles are splash proof, but not waterproof. Do not put the 

cycle in water deeper than 7 inches, and ensure that the controller does 
not get wet.

• 

If you keep charging your battery for more than 12 hrs and it does not 
become fully charged, stop charging and contact Vamoose Electric Cycle 

Ltd.

Proper care and maintenance of the battery will maximize its lifespan and
available ride time. Vamoose cycles use Samsung Li-Ion (Lithium Ion) batteries 
in all of its electric cycles. These are very user friendly batteries when cared for 

properly.

Please note:

• 

FULLY CHARGE BATTERIES BEFORE FIRST USE. Li-Ion(Lithium Ion) batteries 
take approximately 4-5 hours to charge.

• 

Charge batteries at least every 60 days until normal use is resumed.

• 

Always store cycles with fully charged batteries.

• 

Never charge the batteries for more than 24 hours

• 

Always disconnect the charger from the wall outlet and the battery once 
charging is complete (as indicated by the status on the charger) before 
storing the cycle.

• 

Do not store the batteries below 50°Fahrenheit and never allow the 
batteries to freeze (below 32°Fahrenheit)
