5.4.2 Storage
1. Remove the battery from the pedelec.
2. Store the battery in a dry, not excessively warm room. The battery
should not be exposed to direct sunshine. The recommended storage
temperature range is 18 to 23 °C.
IMPORTANT
Thebatteryshouldnotbestoredinafullychargedstate. A charge
level between 50 and 70% (

) is ideal. Since the battery loses
charge very slowly, you should recharge it when only one or two LEDs
come on, but after six months at the latest.
5.4.3 Cleaning
DANGER
Ifyouwipethebatteryavoidtouchingthecontacts, otherwise there is
the risk of an electric shock.
WARNING
Removethebatteryfromthepedelecbeforecleaning. Unintentionally
pressing the
button represents a risk of injury.
Ridingstyle: A low pedalling speed combined with high gears results in
high power consumption.
Change down in good time to maintain constant cadence,
especially when starting.
Yourtnesslevel: The tter you are, the less assistance you will need.
Totalweight: The lower the total weight supported by the bike, the easier
it will be to ride  VI.I Overall weight Page EN-10.
Outsidetemperatures: The lower the outside temperatures (e.g. cold in
winter), the shorter the range.
Insert the battery just before starting o with your pedelec.
This way you prevent low temperatures shortening the
range.
Batterycapacity: A much shorter service life after the charging process
indicates that the battery has lost considerable capacity.  5.3.1.2
Capacity Page EN-35.
The battery may have to be replaced. Discuss how to
proceed with your cycle dealer.
Routeselected: You need to pedal harder when cycling uphill or against
strong head wind. This is registered by the power sensor, which in turn
requires the motor to work harder.
