• Do not short-circuit the baery pack’s terminals.
• Do not charge the baery pack if the temperature is over
140ºF (60ºC).
• Do not disassemble the baery pack.
• Do not submerge the baery pack in liquid or use it in
wet areas.
• Do not place the baery pack near re or heat.
• Do not expose the baery pack to freezing temperatures
for an extended period. Do not charge a frozen baery
pack. Allow it to reach room temperature.
The e-bike features a high-capacity lithium ion rechargeable
baery pack. The lithium baery pack does not have a “memory
eect” associated with older baery technologies. It is highly
recommended you charge the baery pack aer every ride,
even if the baery pack is only lightly used.
An onboard circuit prevents the baery pack from overcharging.
The baery pack can achieve 500-700 full charge cycles. As
the baery pack receives more charge cycles, the capacity will
decrease. Charging a parally discharged baery pack is not
considered a full charge cycle.
NOTICE
Recharge the battery pack at least once every month. A battery pack left unused for
several months may result in permanent capacity loss.
Cold environments temporaily reduce the baery pack’s
capacity. Avoid using the electric bicycle in very hot weather.
Store the e-bike in a sheltered place.
Fully charge the baery pack before your rst use. The charger
included with the e-bike recognizes the baery pack’s inial
charge and will automacally cease charging when the baery
pack is fully charged. Always charge the baery pack before a
long trip.
• Be sure the e-bike is powered o.
• Be sure to use the proper 48 VDC or 52 VDC charging
prole if using the Cycle Saator
®
charger.
• The baery pack can be charged while connected to the
e-bike or while removed from the e-bike. (See “Removing
the Baery Pack” on page 29.)
ONBOARD CHARGING
1. Stand on the le side and locate the charge port dust cover
on the top of the baery pack.
2. Rotate the dust cover to expose the DC charge port.

Charge Port
3. Carefully plug the charger into the charge port.
4. Connect the AC power cable into the charger and plug the
cable into the power outlet. The charger will automacally
start charging the baery pack.
5. When the charger is charging the baery pack, the
indicator LED will turn red. When the baery pack is
fully charged, the light will turn green and the baery will
automacally stop charging. Charging takes 1-8 hours,
depending on baery size and inial charge level. (See
“Reading the Baery Pack Level” on page 19.)
6. Disconnect the charger from the wall.
7. Remove the charger plug from the DC charge port. Rotate
the dust cover to protect the port.
NOTICE
If you charge your battery while it’s on the bike, be sure to remove and re-seat your
pack every couple of rides. Road vibration and rough terrain may make the battery
come loose.
HYDRAULIC BRAKES
There are several components that make up your braking
system. The hydraulic part needs to be inspected and serviced
to check for wear and tear. If the hydraulic brakes are worn,
replacement will be needed. When a replacement is needed
varies by amount of me riding, mileage, riding style and
locaon.
We recommend inspecng your brakes before every ride.
Noce: If there appears to be any issue with your braking
system (or any other item) do not use your bike and contact our
Support Team or visit an authorized mechanic.
MINERAL OIL CUPS
Have a trained mechanic service the mineral oil cups on the
handlebars.
