battery Care
Storing the Rechargeable Battery
Remove the rechargeable battery
(e)
, if you do not use the CUBE EPO
pedelec for a longer period of time (e.g. during the winter season).
Store the rechargeable battery in a dry room at temperatures be-
tween 5 and 20 degrees Celsius (41 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit). The
state of charge should be 50 to 70 % of the charging capacity (equal
5 to 7 bars on the state of charge display on your display). Check the
state of charge, if the rechargeable battery is left unused for more
than two months and recharge it in between, if necessary.
A
Make sure not to discharge your rechargeable battery
completely (also referred to as depth discharge). Depth
discharge will affect the rechargeable battery of your
CUBE EPO pedelec permanently. A deep-discharged bat-
tery can only be recharged in exceptional cases and with
special chargers at your CUBE dealer or battery manufac-
turer.
Cleaning the Rechargeable Battery
Clean the battery housing or the seat post battery with a dry or at
most slightly moist rag
(f)
. Do not direct the water jet of a high-pres-
sure cleaner at the rechargeable battery, as there is a risk of water
entry and/or short-circuit.

drive - Chain Wear
The drive chain
(g)
is a wearing part of your CUBE EPO pedelec. As
the auxiliary drive of your CUBE EPO pedelec is integrated directly in
the rear wheel hub
(h)
, this does not mean a higher load for the drive
chain compared to that of a conventional bicycle. In fact, it is rather
the opposite, as the drive force applied by the rider is usually inferior
to that he would apply on a conventional bicycle. For more informa-
tion about chain wear and maintenance see chapter
“Cleaning and
caring for your bike”
of your general CUBE handbook.
