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 in order to
activate the second battery.
Keep in mind that your bike
provides less support when it’s cold (-10ºC 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
within two months will be deep discharged. The battery can be permanently
damaged during this process. In case of deep discharge, the warranty will be
voided.
Beware:
Never stall the bike with an empty battery. We advise to charge the battery as
soon as possible when it’s totally empty.
Only charge the battery with the supplied charger!
Make sure that the battery is not charged at a temperature lower than 5ºC. We
advise to charge the battery at room temperature.
Only use the charger in non-humid
indoor environments, the charger may
not
get wet.
Charge the battery until the green LED light on the charger continues to stay
on.
The battery housing ánd charger housing may never be opened! When there
is a problem, contact your dealer.
Don’t charge the battery in full sunshine.
Don’t drop the battery, this can cause damage.
