fresh water or sea water,
and do
not allow the battery terminals to get wet. Doing so may cause
overheating, bursting, or ignition of the battery

Take care to ensure that the battery
does not get too hot.
Battery ageing increases sharply with
temperatures above 40 °C.
Placing the battery in direct sunlight can cause a battery to heat
up considerably. Take care to ensure you
do not leave the
battery in a hot car
and park your bike in the shade during bike
rides. If you cannot avoid the heat, make sure you do not charge
the battery at the same time.

If you ride constantly using maximum motor assist, your motor
will always need a
higher current
. Higher currents cause the
battery to age faster. Use the assist modes judiciously, cycle
through them as you would a normal gear system,
Starting off in
a high assist level is not recommended
and can cause you to
lose control of the bike.

loose terrain
, the
added power from the motor can cause the bike to lose control in
these situations, Please remember to be
aware of your
surroundings
when using an E-bike, do not give too much
attention to the screen when riding.
