performanceofthebattery,andshortenitsexpectedlife.Hightemperaturesespeciallyreduceoverallbatterylife&run
time.
•Curriebikesandscootersareequippedwithafive-minutesleepfunction.Ifnoactivityisdetectedafterfiveminutes,
thebike/scooterwillgointo“stasis”modetoconservebatterypower.Simplycyclethebike/scooteroffthenonagainto
re-activate the battery.

position, or your product has not been charged for a long period of time, the batteries may reach a stage at which they will
no longer hold a charge.
