connected to the battery for a very long period of time after charging is complete.
(Leaving it connected for an overnight charging is OK.)
It is normal for the charger and the battery to be slightly hot while charging is on-going.
Removing the Battery from the e-Bike
The battery is an important and costly part of the e-bike. It is designed to be locked into
position with a key to preventing theft. You can take further precaution by removing the
battery while the e-bike is parked unattended. You may also have a need to remove the
battery from the e-bike to recharge it at a location where you cannot park your e-bike.
The method to remove the battery is:
I. Open the cap of the charging port and fold the bike;
II. Insert the key into the battery, hold pressing the key a bit until twist clockwise to the
end (Note: You can’t remove the battery until the lock bar withdraws into the battery
completely);
III. Slip off the battery, the battery is quite heavy and you should take care not to drop
it.
Maximizing the Riding Range
Many factors affect the rate of use of the electrical energy and the riding range.
You should fully charge the battery before a long journey.
Rough road conditions and hilly terrain will consume more energy.
Frequent change of speed will consume more energy.
Carrying more weight on the e-bike will consume more energy.
Keeping the tires properly inflated and keeping the e-bike clean and well
lubricated will save energy.
Making sure that both wheels move freely when brakes are not applied will save
energy. You should check brake adjustments frequently.
Pedaling as you ride will consume less electrical energy and increase the riding
range.
When the battery is turned off, your e-bike functions as a regular bicycle. If you
embark on a very long journey, you might want to turn off the battery for long
stretches where the road is level or downhill and pedal the e-bike as a regular
bicycle so that you can conserve electrical energy stored in the battery.
