THE RANGE EXTENDER

CHARGING THE RANGE EXTENDER

The Range Extender works like a portable internal battery charger that charges the main 
battery while it is turned on. It operates differently from other systems in that on the 
Ebikemotion X35, only the main battery provides power to the motor, while the Range 
Extender charges the main battery, regardless of whether the motor demands current 
from the main battery or not (such as at speeds greater than 25 km/h, when there is no 
pedaling or the bicycle is not moving).

The Range Extender provides charge to the main battery at a discharge ratio of 2A, while 
the motor can demand current of up to 9A. Therefore, the Range Extender is not capable 
of supplying enough current to the motor by itself, and all this current comes from the 
main battery.

If the main battery is discharged and the Range Extender is connected and turned on, 
you must wait until the Range Extender has charged the main battery enough for the 
system to provide electrical assistance. For this reason, it is recommended that when-
ever you use the Range Extender, always keep the unit connected to the main battery 
through the charging port in order to make sure that the main battery charges during 
use, thus ensuring the maximum possible autonomy. In the case of intensive use of the 
system in extreme cases, in the top assistance mode during long periods of time, the 
battery may completely discharge faster than the Range Extender is able to charge it. 
In this case, you will need to wait for the main battery to have enough charge from the 
Range Extender to be able to continue riding with electrical assistance.

Acting as the main battery charger, the Range Extender is compatible with any version 
of the Ebikemotion X35 system.

After connecting the Range Extender to the bicycle charging port, turn on the Range Extender 
by pressing the Iwoc One button on the top of the unit. The light on the button will turn white. To 
turn off the Range Extender, press and hold the Iwoc One button for 2-3 seconds.
After turning on the Range Extender with the unit connected to the bicycle, the Iwoc One button 
on the top tube of the bicycle will blink continuously in the color corresponding to the current 
level of charge of the main battery, just like when the charger is connected to the charging port. 
The bicycle will provide assistance as normal and the assistance modes can be changed just as 
if the Range Extender were not connected.
To ensure maximum continuous autonomy, be sure to turn on the Range Extender as soon as 
you turn on the bicycle for use, so that the Range Extender begins to charge the main battery 
from the very beginning.
The Range Extender begins to charge once the internal battery is at 85% of charge or below. If 
the Range Extender is connected to a fully charged internal battery and the Range Extender is 
turned on, after a few minutes, when no charge is being provided, it iwll automatically turn off. 
When the carge level of the main battery drops below 85%, it will be necessary to turn on the 
Range Extender by pressin the button to start chargin the main battery.

The Range Extender can be charged by itself when it is disconnected from the bicycle. Connect the 
X35 charger to the charging port on the top of the unit. The charge levels of the Range Extender will 
be displayed using the same color code as the main battery:

White:

 100%-75% / 

Green:

 74%-50% / 

Orange: 

49%-25% /

 Red:

 24%-1%.

The unit can also be charged while it is connected to the main battery. Connect the charger to the 
charging point of the Range Extender using the Range Extender cable connected to the charging 
point of the bicycle and both batteries will charge at the same time.
Alternatively, the charging level of the Range Extender can be seen on the Ebikemotion smartphone 
application. The exact way in which the charge is displayed in the application will depend on the 
version of the X35 system to which the Range Extender is connected.
