5. CHARGE THE BATTERY
We recommend charging the battery for 4-5 hours on the first charge. This will
help condition the lithium-ion cells for optimal performance.
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 in the charger into a 120v wall outlet (110-220v EU)
B. Connect the charger cable to the battery charging port.
C. Turn the battery on by pressing the power button. The battery is on when
the power button is illuminated. The battery will not charge unless it is
switched on.
D. The throttle is disabled during the charge sequence and a charge icon will
show 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.
Always make sure there is plenty of ventilation and a dry, fireproof environment
for the charger and follow these operating instructions.
• Do not leave the battery connected to the active charger for more than 48
hours.
• Do not leave the charger connected to a socket for more than 48 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 have
any visible signs of damage.
• 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 48 hours.
Information on battery care, range, performance in Maintenance & Components.
BATTERY RANGE: Power output will vary depending on battery capacity. For example
if your battery is at 20% 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. Battery is fully charged when the LED light on
the charger is green. More about battery care in Maintenance Section.
