The battery can be either charged by leaving the battery in the bike or by removing it. To charge while in the bike move the plastic cap located on the 
battery and plug the charging 3 pin into the slot. 
 
To remove the battery, remove the seat post or flip the seat up if you have one of the older models. Turn the key to the unlock position and then lift 
the battery out. When turning to the unlock position you will need to press the key in to get to this position 
Removing the battery from the bike when storing it for a long period of time is recommended. In this case store it in a cool, dry area away from water. 
The charge left in the battery should be 50%-75% for long storage times.  
Cleaning the battery and battery housing should only be done while disconnected and powered off. Use a dry rag or if needed a lightly damp rag.  

 

 

DO NOT

 spray with high-pressured water to prevent damage or possible short-circuiting. Only charge the battery with the supplied charger as others may not 

function properly, and this increases the possibility of fire or explosion.  
Do not store the charger or battery in a wet/damp place or in direct sunlight.  
Lithium-ion batteries can last longer if you recharge with 10-15% of the charge remaining to prevent damage to the cells. Keep both the battery and charger 
out of the reach of children and If there appears to be an issue with the charger or battery, stop use immediately and contact either the manufacturer or 
Wattwheels at

BEST PRACTISES FOR EXTENDING BATTERY LIFE

 

o Use Pedal to assist when climbing hills and accelerating from a stop. Keep throttle to a minimum  
o Avoid sudden starts and stops. 
o Accelerate slowly. 
o Keep within the recommended weight limit. (150kg) 
 

CHARGING 

Firstly, insert plug of the charger into charging socket of the battery box. 

 

•Second, Insert the charger into the socket of the home power supply. It shows the power has already been put through when th

e indicator lamp of 

the charger is on. 
 

•It is charging when 

the indicator light is red. When the light turns from red to green, it indicates that the battery is fully charged.
