Charging the Bike (Lithium Battery)
Charging the battery is done from the charger port located on the battery itself. The charger is separated into two different
parts: A cable with one end that goes into a 110V power outlet, and the other end that goes into the charger box itself, the
charger box with a cable that plugs into the bike (page 8).
1.
Take the cable from the charger box and plug it into the charger port located on the bike/battery.
Note: The LED1 light should turn red.
2. Plug one end of the separate cable into the charger box.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into a power outlet.
4. Confirm that the charging indicators turn red. (Both LED1 and LED2 lights should be red)
Note: When the battery is fully charged, the LED2 light will turn green.
5. Unplug the charger from the power outlet.
6. Unplug the charger from the battery.
Note: The charger lights must be red when both plugs are plugged in. It will always turn red first if the bike has been used.
One light will turn green after it is fully charged.
Lithium Battery
There are many advantages of using Lithium Batteries instead of the standard Lead Acid Batteries:
Lithium batteries are physically much lighter than Lead Acid batteries. (~20lbs compared to ~60lbs)
As Lithium batteries are lighter than Lead Acid batteries, there is less physical weight on the bike, and therefore
it takes less power to operate the bike. As such, the bike achieves a greater travel distance with Lithium batteries
than it would with Lead Acid batteries.
Lithium batteries charge faster than Lead Acid batteries. (6 hours maximum charge time as compared to 8 hours
maximum charge time for Lead Acid batteries)
Lithium batteries have a longer lifespan than Lead Acid batteries. (3-4 years vs. 2 years)
Most models have the option of 48V/20Ah or 48V/30Ah lithium batteries as an option.
WARNING!
Charge the bike for no more than 8 hours (lithium batteries).
