slow down, you simply release the throttle and let it
return to its resting position, and simultaneously
apply the brakes if necessary.
You do not need to pedal the Pedego if you use the
hand throttle. However, you can pedal while
commanding power assist. If you do pedal to help
the movement, you conserve energy and the charge
in the battery will last longer
.
Battery and Charger Care:
Included with your new Pedego is a 36 volt lithium
ion battery, along with a charger, which plugs into a
standard 110 volt household electric receptacle.
A Lithium ion battery requires specially designed
chargers. You should never charge your battery with
a substitute charger that is not designed for this use.
Use of an unsuitable charger to charge a Lithium ion
battery will result in over-heating, fire or even
explosion.
Recharge battery after every use or when lights next
to throttle control shows a low charge. This is when
only the bottom red light glows when power is
applied.
