LEVIT E-bikes - E-bike Battery Charging and Range; Charging Method, Recommendations, and Range Factors

Method
First, connect the charger to the battery and then to the mains supply (230V). Wait until the LED
light on the charger lights up red. This signals that recharging is in progress. The recharging is
stopped automatically once the battery is fully recharged. Still, we recommend that you unplug
the charger from main supply and the battery immediately after recharging is completed. The
diode that indicates recharging will light green then. Interrupted recharging does not cause
damage to the battery in any way.
RECOMMENDATION If you feel that the total capacity of your baery has decreased
significantly, this may have happened due to recharging the baery or operating the bicycle
in unsuitable weather conditions.
RECOMMENDATION Always use the charger supplied with the e-bike! Using a dierent
charger may damage the baery and/or other parts and components of the electrical
system, which results in the warranty provided by the manufacturer becoming void. If the
status indicator indicates that the baery is flat, it still has some minimum voltage that
protects it from damage. This voltage is no longer sucient to allow actuation of the e-bike,
and so it is highly advisable to recharge the baery as soon as possible. Never leave the
baery discharged for an extended period of time. This could damage it permanently.
Factors that influence e-bike range
The range of your e-bike is influenced by many various factors, and therefore it is very dicult to
stipulate the distance an e-bike may travel with one fully charged baery. The key factors are:
• trip profile (flat profile vs. long and steep climbs)
• weather – temperature, head wind (ideal temperature is approximately 20°C, no wind)
• weight of the rider and the cargo (the greater the weight, the greater the consumption)
• technical condition of the e-bike (correctly adjusted and properly lubricated e-bike has
less resistance)
• tyre pressure (low pressure = greater consumption)
• riding style (the more force of your own is used, the less is used by the motor)
• selected assistance mode (the higher the mode, the greater the consumption)
• current battery capacity (greater capacity = greater range)
DOPORUČENÍ In order to achieve maximum range possible, maintain your e-bike it proper
condition and maintain correct pressure in tires. The state of your baery is important, too,
and so it is necessary that you take proper care of it according to this manual. Try to utilize
the lowest assistance mode so that riding your bicycle feels nice, but does not use the
baery energy unnecessarily at the same time. You can increase your speed while exerting
the same force by choosing the correct gear.This will also increase your range.
Transporting the baery
Transportation of the battery must comply with guidelines and provisions related to
hazardous materials. Undamaged batteries can be transported on roads by private users
without them having to comply with any other conditions. When commercial forwarders
or third parties are used for transportation of the battery, special requirements regarding
