When cleaning your electric bike, do not use a steady direct stream of water from a hose. Use a
cloth to avoid short-circuiting any electrical components. Your electric bike has a durable finish
and does not need to be waxed. Clean with a mild detergent and buff to restore its original
shine.
Please wear a safety helmet and glasses for your own protection whenever riding.
Wear bright clothing to help make you visible to other motor vehicles.
Do not wear loose clothing that can become caught on the bicycle.
Do not leave the charger connected to the battery for more than 10 hours.
7 Battery charging and precautions
It is important to charge your batteries after every long use (battery gauge 50% or less). This will extend
the total life of your battery. Once the charger has indicated that your battery is fully charged the green
light will come on, unplug the power source from the bicycle and the electrical outlet and store in a cool,
dry place. Do not leave the charger plugged into the battery for long periods of time as this can damage
the battery.
1. Turn off the display
2. Insert plug of the charger into charging port of the battery. You can charge your battery while
still in the bike or you can take it out of the bike and charge where it is most convenient.
3. Insert the charger into the wall outlet. Do not plug charger into outlet until you first plug the
charger into the battery charging port. A red light will come on. It can take up to 8 hours to
recharge the battery completely. On most chargers, a green light will appear when it is fully
charged.
4. When the light turns from red to green, it indicates that the battery is full. If possible, charge for
an additional 2-3 more hours to fully balance the battery. After the green light comes on, the
charger is in trickle charge mode. If you will be gone for many hours, you should unplug the
charger. This is especially true in hot weather. Avoid overcharging and damaging the battery.
The charger will become warm during charging, so keep charger away from any flammable
materials. You can also charge the battery when it is removed from the bicycle. This is especially
convenient during cold nights or when your bike is not parked near an electrical outlet. Because
specifications of the charger may change in the process of production, please read the
information on the charger itself or the charger manual (if included) in detail before using.
Always charge the bike in a dry and clean place. Keep the charger dry and clean.
7.1 Battery Precautions
Do not touch the two poles of the battery with your hands when the battery is removed for
charging. Also, the two battery poles should not be touched with any metal or other material
that conducts electricity.
While charging, put the battery in a secure place where children can't reach.
