There is a LED on the charger. The light is 

red

 when the battery is charging and changes to 

green

 when 

the battery is fully charged. The charger then stops charging, so there is no need to immediately unplug 
the charger. 

 Note:  

When the 4 LEDs on the battery are lit, this does not necessarily mean that the battery is fully 
charged. You can only be sure the battery is fully charged once the light on the charger is 
green..

It is advisable to run the battery down to the 5 to 10% charge level and then fully recharge it the 

first 3 times.

About the battery

>  The 4 LEDs indicate the approximate battery status. Each LED represents about 25% of the full 

battery charge.

  - If only one LED is on, it is recommended that you charge the battery.
  - The 5-block display on the handlebar shows the status with more precision.
>  Do not place the battery in direct sunlight.
>  Charge the battery every 2 months when not in use.
>  The battery can be charged at any time. It does not harm the battery to charge it when it is at, say, 

50% or 75%. We do recommend, however, that the battery be discharged almost completely and 
then fully recharged every now and then.

>  Do not drain the battery completely.
>  In very cold temperatures the battery will operate less efficiently than at temperatures of around 

10-20 °C (50-68 °F), and this may reduce the action radius by as much as 30%. This also applies to 
charging: the charging process will take longer.

Operating computer and reading display

There are 2 displays available for the Victesse models with front-wheel motor: a display with integrated 
control on the left side of the handlebar, and a centrally located display on the handlebar with control 
on the left side of the handlebar.
