Make sure that the switch is set to the side the battery is placed.
Backup battery (optional)
The bike can be supplied with a second
battery.
To activate the second battery (when the first
battery is empty) turn the switch under the
luggage carrier to the right sight.
Keep in mind that your bike provides less support when it’s cold (0ºC and
less) and the battery will discharge faster. Charging also takes more time at
lower temperatures.
The action radius depends on a lot of different factors and is strongly
influenced by: capacity and voltage of the battery, degree of support that is
used, temperature, wind speed, tyre pressure, cycling speed, weight of the
user and the luggage, use of gearing etcetera.
Charging and maintenance tips for the battery
Every battery discharges automatically over time. This process is called self-
discharge. A battery that is empty and not charged, will self-discharge and
will be deep discharged. The battery can be permanently damaged during
this process. In case of deep discharge, the warranty will be void.
Beware:
Never leave the bike with an empty battery! We advise you charge the battery as
soon as possible before it’s totally empty.
The best storage-charge of the battery is when three to five LED lights burn.
Check the battery every month in the winter. If fewer than three LED lights burn,
recharge the battery.
Make sure that the battery is not charged at a temperature lower than -5ºC. We
advise you charge the battery at room temperature.
Only use the charger indoors and in non-humid
environments, the charger may
not
get wet.
Only use the Van Raam supplied battery.
