BRAKES
Your ‘’Maverick” is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes for maximum reliability. The more hand
pressure applied to the brake levers, the greater the pressure applied to the disc brake, and the
quicker the ‘’Maverick’’ will come to a stop. The left-hand lever activates the rear brake and should
always be applied before the front brake is applied. Applying only the right-hand lever for the front
brake too slow or stopping at high speeds may result in the rider being ejected from the seat and
continuing forward over the handlebars.
Bicycles equipped with disc brakes will occasionally make a slight scraping noise when the wheels are
turning without the brakes being applied. This is normal for your bike.
Ensure that the brake levers do not contact the handlebar when full hand pressure is applied. If so,
then the brakes must be adjusted, bled or brake pads need to be changed.
BATTERY
Charging:
• Always use the charger that comes with the battery on the bike
• Never charge your battery straight after a ride as it has built up heat due to the discharge of energy
to the hub motor
• Let the bike sit for an hour (or two) to allow the battery to “cool” before recharging
• Once fully charged let the battery “cool down” before riding the bike
• Never lay your bike down on its side as this is not good for the battery, or the bike
• Plug the charger into your bike rst and then the wall socket before turning the charger on
• The charger unit may get warm during the charging process
• Keep your charger ttings free from dirt as dirt will stop the bike battery from being recharged
• Keep the charger and the battery away from damp areas
• Do not open or alter the battery or battery charger
Storage:
• Keep your battery in a cool and dry place
• Avoid elevated temperatures and do not leave the battery near a heat source
How to Care for your Battery:
Included with your bike is a lithium-ion battery (installed), along with a charger unit which plugs into
a standard household electric socket. Lithium-ion batteries require specially designed chargers.
You should never charge your battery with a charger that is not designed for this use. Use of an
unsuitable charger to charge a lithium-ion battery could result in overheating and may cause it to
catch re or even explode.
Recharging the battery:
To charge the battery you need to plug the charger lead into the charge port located on the bottom
of the tank cover on the left hand side (when standing behind) your bike. You will need to carefully
remove the rubber grommet before inserting the charger tting.
The indicator light on the charger will be red when the battery is charging and will turn green when
the battery is fully charged. Please note that the Lithium-ion battery is referred to as a “smart battery”
and will not accept any further input from the charger once it is fully charged. When the charger has
nished charging your battery, you must switch the charger o at the wall, wait for the light on the
charger to go out, and then remove the lead from the charging port under the tank cover and replace
the rubber grommet.
