5.2 Storage & transportation
To store the battery
If the battery is going to be stored for an
extended period of time, it is recommended
to charge the battery once for every 3 months
of storage. If the battery remains in storage
without being charged every 3 months, it’s
possible that the battery’s capability to retain
energy is affected.
CAUTION:
Store the battery in a cool, dry, level and safe
area with good ventilation and away from any
heat source. If the Lafree Twist bike is stored
with the battery in place, turn the power control
switch on the handlebar to the “OFF” position.
Leaving the switch in the “ON” position while
stored or parked will result in faster energy loss.
Transportation of Lafree Twist
When transporting your Twist, it is best to
remove the battery. The bike becomes lighter,
so it is easier to lift and manoeuvre.
