manual. Be sure to read the owner’s manual before you begin riding or working on your bike.
Battery charging
You should charge the battery fully before
riding for the first time, following the instructions
below. Be sure to check the section of your
owner’s manual discussing “Battery care &
safety” for additional information.
Charging procedure

battery’s charging port, then plug the wall

If the battery is turned on, the battery
level indicator on the battery will display the
battery’s charge level. See “Checking the
battery’s charge level” on page 10.
If the battery is attached to the bicycle,
and the bicycle is turned on, the battery level
indicator on the bike’s display will also show
the current charge level. See “Turning the
bike on and off” on page 11.
The battery does not have a “memory”. This
means that it can be charged at any time, or
partially charged, without causing damage
or decreasing performance.
Charge time
The amount of time needed to charge the
battery varies based on the battery’s charge
level. A completely empty battery will take
between 4 and 6 hours to charge. A battery
at 50% may only need 2-3 hours to come
to a full charge.
Checking the battery’s charge
level
Before riding, check the battery’s charge
level. If the battery is not fully charged, riding
range will be reduced.
To check the battery’s charge level, first
press the battery power button
to turn the
battery on. The battery level indicator
will
display the battery’s charge level.
