TECH TIP:
The electric Fat Trike's battery is "memory free." You aren't required to discharge the battery
entirely during use, but it's much better for the battery to not drain it down to 0%.
A general care reminder–after riding in hot or cold weather, bring your battery indoors and let it cool or warm
up to room temperature for two hours before charging. It's not a good idea for li-ion batteries to be drawn from
or be charging if they were just in cold or freezing weather. Failure to follow the instructions may result in a
fire, explosion, injury, or death.
When the LCD is off, it means the trike is off and not drawing power from the battery (even if the key is still in
the ON position).
When you receive your electric Fat Trike, the battery will have a little bit of power. It’s best
practice to charge the battery 100% before your first ride.

HOW TO CHARGE THE BATTERY
You can charge the battery while it’s on the electric Fat Trike
or you can remove the battery from the trike.
Plug the charger into the wall socket/outlet, like a
mobile phone charger. Plug the charging cord into the
charger port (image 20).
On top of the battery is the charging indicator
(image 19), and the LED lights will be red when the
battery is charging. When the three LED lights are
green, the battery is fully charged.
