Please read the instructions relating to the battery before using the bicycle
f
or the first time.
Check the battery before using the bicycle for the first time.
Never charge a battery which you suspect is damaged or know is broken,
and do not use it.
Your bicycle is powered by a modern lithium ion (Li-ion) battery (
fig.1
). They offer
a large capacity (range) with the lowest weight. In addition, they do not suffer from
memory effect.
Your battery is protected by a modern management system against overcharging and
short-circuits.
There are six contacts in the charging socket of the battery.
If a short-circuit is caused by connecting the contacts, the management system is able to
switch off the battery within 2 milliseconds. This effectively avoids any hazard to the user.
Fig.2:
The shape of the charging socket has been designed in such a way that the
magnetic rubber plug and charging plug can only be inserted in the correct position.
You can achieve the best possible performance and lifespan of your battery
by charging on a regular basis and using it within the recommended temperature range. The battery has almost no memory effect thanks
to the Li-ion technology.

The charge level of the battery is permanently displayed during your ride. The green
LEDs on the battery glow depending on how full your battery is. The computer screen
also displays the battery charge.
If the battery charge falls to 20% during a longer ride, the battery management system
(BMS) automatically switches to Eco mode. If you continue to ride with support, the
system will switch off before the battery runs out.
Please recharge an empty battery as soon as you have a chance to. The
BMS is set up to protect a fully discharged battery from damage for a long
period of time. However, we recommend to recharge at least up to
¾
(3
diodes full) when bicycle or battery is not in use. In any case, please charge
at least every 3 months to avoid damage to the battery. A dead battery due
to not charging the battery is not a warranty claim.
At 3% battery charge or lower, the electric bicycle switches the motor off,
only the lights will still work. At this point, the lights on your bicycle will work
for approximately 2 hours.
If your bicycle does not move for a 10 minute period, the BMS will switch the
system off. In order to continue driving with support, you have to switch the
system on again.
Every battery with Li-ion technology is subject to an unstoppable chemical ageing process. Provided the bicycle has been used properly,
remaining capacity of 75% will remain after 300 charging cycles or two years.
Strongly reduced operating time after charging can be a sign that the battery is running out and has to be replaced.
A. Battery information system
The bicycle’s battery can inform you about the charge level and the functionality of the electrical system.
After turning the system on, a diagnosis of the entire system is first carried out (
fig.3
).
Four LEDs switch on in sequence and then remain on. This checks the connection of the management program to the individual components in the system.
It shows:
„ LED 1: connection to the motor
„ LED 2: connection to the battery
„ LED 3: connection to the lights
„ LED 4: connection to the remote
If one of the LEDs flashes, this shows that the BMS has not found one of the respective components. This could mean that the component is not
connected (e.g. the remote, which is located on the right handlebar), or that there is a fault. To resolve the error, first check all plug connections and
remove the battery from your bicycle (
fig.5 & 6
), and then reinstall it (
fig.7
). Repeat the process of turning your bicycle on as described in section
12.F. If the bicycle works normally despite a flashing LED, you are still able to use your bicycle with support. However, you should find your Authorized
Specialized Dealer in order to find the cause of the flashing LED.
B. Charge level display
Once the diagnosis is complete (
fig.3
), the charge level of the battery is permanently displayed during your ride (
fig.4
). The green LEDs glow
depending on the charge level of your battery.
