If the battery refuses to accept a charge, refer to your dealer for further support.
Battery charging is automatically regulated, so there is no danger of overcharging. It is advised to
disconnect and switch off the charger when complete.
Do not charge the battery in wet conditions.
Never allow children to play with the battery or charger.
Do not leave your battery in a fully discharged state, as this will damage the cells.
If storing for extended periods, charge fully; and if possible, arrange for it to be charged at least
once a month to maintain cell health

HOW THE EZEE/ YUBA elMUNDO WORKS
Before your first ride, we recommend you practice handling the bike in a safe, traffic-free area. The
motor may look small, but it's powerful! With the extra speed it allows, you will need to take special
care while adjusting to its capabilities. Please visit our website for more detailed instructions on the
use and care of your new Yuba/eZee elMundo.

EPAC/Pedelec:
As you pedal, a sensor picks up the motion and allows the drive system to be engaged.
A twist of the throttle then provides power-on-demand.
E-Bike:
The motor runs as soon as you engage the throttle. Ensure that you are ready to ride before
you use the throttle.
In
E-Bike
mode, the range of your bike will be approximately 40kms (25 mi.) which will vary depending on
your effort, the terrain, and the cargo load. With
EPAC
, judicious use of gears and your own efforts
contribute to a range of around 40-60kms (25-40 mi.). As you use the system, you will gain a better sense of
range that will allow you to plan your trips without fear of running out of juice! And, you can always carry
your charger with you.
Please refer to the website for detailed instructions on the use of the Cycle Analyst computer, and it's
ability to precisely monitor your battery state. With proper planning and monitoring, you should never
run out of power if you wish to avoid that.
Battery level gauge:
When riding a fully charged bicycle, the battery level gauge shows ‘green’.
Powerful acceleration or uphill riding causes the battery voltage to drop and may bring the level gauge to
‘amber’ or even ‘red’ (in the cases of very steep hills). As you continue to cycle and the battery power drops,
the level gauge will correspond to the state of charge remaining. When it remains in ‘amber’ and dips into
‘red’, you have approximately 20% of the charge left. Best to recharge the battery soon.
Continued use of an empty battery by ‘pulsing’ will cause deep discharge, this is detrimental to the battery
and reduce its life.
Lock: When parking your bike, turn the key to the “Off” position and remove it. This will shut the
system off and lock the battery in place. And of course, use a strong lock to secure your bike properly.
We also recommend insuring your bike against theft. Consult your dealer for more information.
