Backup battery (optional)
The bike can be supplied with a second battery. When the connected battery is
empty, switch the two batteries.
Ensure that the battery is always is pushed straight into the holder.
If desired, you can leave the second battery of the bike to charge when you are using
the other.
One of the battery holders is connected to the system, you can recognize this one
because of the cables.
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.
