Range
The range, the distance in kilometers that can be traveled with a fully charged battery, is influenced by
several factors:
•
Capacity (Ah) and voltage (V) of the battery;
•
motor support level;
•
load on the bicycle;
•
amount of pedaling power delivered by the rider;
•
ambient temperature (the capacity of the battery decreases below 10°C);
•
wind force;
•
tire pressure;
•
condition of the road surface;
•
age
of the battery (the range decreases as the battery ages).
Battery & Charging
General
•
The battery can be charged inside and outside the bicycle (n/a on the Papillon).
•
Ensure the contact points of the battery and the battery tray are fully aligned when placing the battery back.
Charging advice
•
Always charge the battery with the Lacros charger supplied with the bicycle. Do not use a different charger.
•
The first two charges of a new battery should be more than 60%. To achieve this, wait the first two times to
charge until the battery charge indicator on the display has dropped below 40%.
•
After the battery is fully charged, charging stops automatically. Only when the red indicator light on the
charger becomes visible again will the battery charge.
•
After two full charges (first two charges), the battery does not have to be at least 40% empty again before
charging. The battery can be connected to the charger repeatedly, even after short trips.
•
The battery remains in good condition when you recharge the bicycle after each use, regardless of the
distance.
•
The warranty on the battery expires if a deep discharge is detected (this can only happen if you leave the
battery on and put it away for a long time without recharging it).
•
In case of long-term storage: fully charge the battery, disconnect the battery from the charger and the
bicycle, and turn off the battery. (Turning off the battery is impossible for the Trotter, Gemini, and Papillon
models.) The battery is switched off when your bicycle's display turns off.
•
Charge the battery at least once every two months.
•
The battery performs less below 10 °C, it then has less capacity, and you will be able to cycle fewer
kilometers on a single battery charge.
