Controls and equipment
In this section, the functions and any specific maintenance needed on the main controls and
ancillary equipment are described.
3.1
Battery on/off switch and lock
3.1.1 Your Wisper bike is supplied with two identical keys. The key locks the battery to the bike.
3.1.2 The battery is connected to the electrical system of the bike automatically when you slide
the battery into the rack. To turn on the bike’s electrical system, press I on the switch
located on the right-hand side at the rear of the battery. To turn off the power, press O.

3.1.3 When the battery has been turned on, the bike is now ready for use. The on/off button the
handle bar control isolates the power from the bike.
When the on/off button is pressed for 3 seconds the LCD symbols will become visible. When
the on/off button is pushed again for 3 seconds, the LCD symbols will disappear - you have
turned the bike “off”. When the bike is “off” you will not get any assistance from the battery
and motor and the lights will not function.
3.1.4 To lock the battery into the bike frame, slide the battery into the battery holder on the rack
until you hear a click. To unlock the battery, turn the key fully anticlockwise and hold in this
position whilst siding the battery out. Always turn the battery off at the switch before
loading and unloading.
3.1.5 The battery can be charged either on or off the bike.
3.2
The ON/OFF button and Light button
3.2.1 To turn the power on so the pedelec system is operational, simply press the on/off button
on the handle bar control for 3 seconds - the LCD symbols will become visible showing the
power is on. When the on/off button is pushed again for 3 seconds and the LCD symbols
become invisible you have turned the bike “off”. When the bike is “off” you will not get any
assistance from the battery and motor and the bike is effectively an unpowered pushbike. If
the bike is left for ten minutes without being ridden, the bike will automatically turn off. The
battery capacity indicator lights provide an indication of the battery capacity remaining with
four bars indicating the battery is at full capacity. The display also incorporates a diagnostic
function for use by Wisper service.
