Battery
Battery charging and maintenance:
Charge the battery in a dry enviroment to avoid short-circuit damage.
Charge the battery to at least 60% of the capacity once every 3 months even when the bicycle is not used.
Do not cover the battery or the charger.
Do not leave the battery constantly connected to the power source.
Do not use the battery for other appliances. It has been made specifically for this model.
Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack.
Do not throw the battery into fire or expose it to extreme temperatures.
Recharging time from zero to 100% is 1-7 hours.
Drive warranty:
The warranty applies to those drive parts that are not sensitive to improper handling (pack, electronics,
charger, etc.); such parts are covered by a 24-month warranty.
The warranty does not apply to chemical parts of the battery and to capacity reduction due to normal use
(39% after the expiry of two years); those parts are covered by a 12-month warranty.
Charging:
The battery is the most expensive part of an electric bicycle; therefore, pay increased attention during
handling, charging and storage. The battery is sensitive to precise charging. Therefore, it is necessary to
charge Li-Ion rechargeable batteries using only a charger supplied by us. Connect the charger to 220-240 V
power outlet. 5A protected circuit is sufficient. The charger will automatically suspend charging when full
capacity of all cells is reached.
We recommend discharging the battery in full after each ride to ensure that your battery will be up to its
full capacity for your next ride. Charging the battery may last 1 to 5 hours depending on the condition of
the battery cells. Charge it exclusively in covered dry areas (moisture and dripping water can damage the
charger) at a temperature of 5 to 40°C.
The charging process is indicated by a red glowing LED. It will turn green when the battery is charged and
the charging process is complete. The battery contains a charge-monitoring indicator (when the charge
indicator button is pressed, the light indicator will come on). Always switch off the battery when finished
riding the bike.
Normal battery behaviour:
If the motor stops running smoothly and switches to intermittent operation, it could be a sign of low
battery capacity. In that case switch off the electric drive system and continue without motor assistance,
as if riding a conventional bicycle.
Battery warming is normal and does not indicate any defect. The battery is protected by a temperature
sensor and switches off automatically in case of excessive overheating. Wait until the battery cools down
to its normal operating temperature and then ride on.
If you feel your total battery capacity has dropped, it could be caused by charging or operation in
suboptimal climatic conditions. Carry out 3 full charging cycles. Fully discharge the battery while riding
and then charge to its full capacity at room temperature.
