2 Before each use
It is important you perform a quick check of your bike every time you use it. Checks
should include the following (if you do find any damage or problems do not use the bike
until the problem has been solved or you have had the faulty item checked by a bike
mechanic or your retailer).
2.1
Check tyres for any visible damage
2.2
Check tyre pressures
2.3
Check for any loose nuts bolts or fixings
2.4
Check brake functions
2.5
Check electronic functions
2.6
Check reflectors are in place and lights are working
2.7
Check your battery for any visible signs of damage
3 Battery care
3.1
Before you use the battery for the first time it is best to give it a full deep charge
for 12 hours. To fully condition your new battery give it complete deep charge,
discharge cycles for the first three charges. This is achieved by charging your
battery for 12 hours and then using the bike until the battery is completely
drained. After this “conditioning” process you can then charge and discharge
the battery as and when you require for long or short periods.
3.2
If you are going to leave your battery uncharged for more than four weeks it is
best left half to 2/3 charged. You must then re charge it every 6 to 8 weeks using
the conditioning setting on the charger to prevent the voltage from declining
below safe levels which can cause unrepairable damage to the battery cells.
3.3
Before setting off on any journey it is always better to have a fully charged
battery
3.4
Always remember that you use up to three times more power when setting off
under the twist throttle. To preserve the life of each charge always set off using
pedal assist
3.5
Do not expose the bicycle or battery pack to fire, heat sources, acid or alkaline
substances
3.6
When leaving your bicycle during hot weather always leave in a shaded well
ventilated area
3.7
For best results always recharge the battery at room temperature
3.8
Before unloading the battery make sure it is turned off at the key, then raise the
saddle and unload the battery using its handle
3.9
If your battery is damaged or appears to be overheating for any reason
immediately return it to your retailer for advice and a safety check
