We recommend charging the battery for 6-8 hours on the first charge. This will help
condition the lithium-ion cells for optimal performance.
TIP
Battery Range
Power output will vary depending on battery capacity. If your battery is at 20%, for
example, it won’t have as much power as a fully charged battery. If your SUPER73 has been
shipped to you along with the battery, please fully charge the battery first. When a battery
leaves the factory, it’s not fully charged as required by international air and sea legislation.
The battery is fully charged when the LED light on the charger is green.
4. CHARGE THE BATTERY
The battery can be charged both mounted on the bike or separately from the bike. Two keys
are supplied to unlock and lock the battery.
A. Plug the charger into a 220v EU wall outlet.
B. Connect the charger cable to the battery charging port. Make sure to properly
align the charge cable to the charging port.
C. Turn the battery on by pressing the power button. The power button will illu-
minate when pressed to indicate it is on. The battery will not charge unless it is
switched on.
D. If you have a throttle, it is disabled during the charge sequence and a charge icon
will appear on the display during the charging process.
When the charging process starts, the charger LED turns red. Once the battery is charged,
the LED turns green.
A. Turn the battery off.
B. Remove the charger cable from the battery charging port.
C. Remember to put the protective cap back onto the battery charging port after
charging to protect it from dirt and moisture.
D. Unplug the charger from the socket.
DANGER !
Always make sure that there is plenty of ventilation and a dry, fireproof environment
for the charger, including before and after connecting the charger.
In addition:
• Do not leave the battery connected to the active charger for more than 10 hours.
• Do not leave the charger connected to a socket for more than 24 hours.
• Charge the battery and use the bike at least once every 90 days.
• Do not store the bike for more than 24 hours with an empty battery. This prevents a
deep discharge with irreparable consequences from occurring.
• Do not use the charger if the charger, main cable, or connector cable has any visible
signs of damage, or if you are aware that they have been damaged.
• After being charged, if the battery remains connected to the charger, it will turn on
and off again in short spurts of green light. This is not a defect. It simply indicates
that individual battery cells are being slowly charged. Nevertheless, make sure that
the battery is not connected to the charger for more than 10 hours.
More information on range and battery care can be found in the Maintenance and
Components section on pg. 23 of this handbook.
