Insert the charger into the wall outlet. Do not plug charger into outlet until you first plug the
charger into the battery charging port. A red light will come on. It can take up to 8 hours to
recharge the battery completely. On most chargers, a green light will appear when it is fully
charged.

When the light turns from red to green, it indicates that the battery is full. If possible, charge for
an additional 2-3 more hours to fully balance the battery. After the green light comes on, the
charger is in trickle charge mode. If you will be gone for many hours, you should unplug the
charger. This is especially true in hot weather. Avoid overcharging and damaging the battery.
The charger will become warm during charging, so keep charger away from any flammable
materials. You can also charge the battery when it is removed from the bicycle. This is especially
convenient during cold nights or when your bike is not parked near an electrical outlet. Because
specifications of the charger may change in the process of production, please read the
information on the charger itself or the charger manual (if included) in detail before using.
Always charge the bike in a dry and clean place. Keep the charger dry and clean.
Battery Precautions
Do not touch the two poles of the battery with your hands when the battery is removed for
charging. Also, the two battery poles should not be touched with any metal or other material
that conducts electricity.
While charging, put the battery in a secure place where children can't reach.
Do not use any charger other than the one that came with your GIO Electric Bike. If you ever do
need to replace the charger, contact your local dealer.
Do not attempt to open or repair your charger. The electronics contain high-tech circuits, so
don’t dismantle by you.
Prevent liquids, metal and metal filings from permeating the charger, and be careful to not drop
or hit the charger which could cause damage.
Do not put anything on top of the charger while charging. It must be well-ventilated to allow all
the heat generated to dissipate.
When charging, if there is a peculiar smell or the temperature is too high, please stop charging
immediately.
To prevent premature failure of your battery and for your warranty to remain in effect on your
battery, YOU MUST CHARGE THE BATTERY AT LEAST ONCE PER MONTH. Do NOT use in the
battery in a very low state.
The charger will produce heat up to 185°F (85°C) in the course of using, so keep it away from
flammable articles while using.
It is normal that the mileage capacity will reduce as a result of low temperatures.
While carrying the charger, DO NOT bump, drop, or damage, otherwise it may result in failure.
Avoid any contact with water when charging your battery. If a plug or socket gets wet, dry it
completely before using.
Do not leave the charger connected to the battery and the outlet for more than 10 hours.
Always use the charger according to the instructions.
