Care and Maintenance for Your New e-Bike
You should, in general, take care of your e-bike the way you would with a regular bicycle
by keeping it dry, clean and the moving parts well lubricated. You should also avoid
parking your e-bike in exposed areas whenever possible.
You should check the effectiveness of the brakes before each use.
For your e-Bike, you should also take note of the following:
Your e-bike is designed for regular country road use for a single person. Using
your e-bike for extreme maneuvers, such as extreme off-road use, jumping, or
carrying the excessive load will damage the e-bike and could cause serious
injury.
Do not use high-pressure water streams to clean your e-bike, as water might
seep inside the motor or the wiring compartment and cause rusting of electrical
parts or short circuits.
Avoid parking your e-bike outside when there is rain or snow. At the end of a trip
where there was rain or snow, bring the e-bike inside and use a clean, dry towel
to eliminate any wetness.
Be sure you do not lose both keys and remote controls. If you lost one key, you
should immediately make a copy as a back-up. If you lost both keys, you will be
unable to remove the battery from the e-bike. If you lost both remote controls, you
can’t turn on the bike.
Special Care for the Battery and the Charger
Use only the supplied charger to charge your battery. Do not use an
unauthorized substitute. If your charger is lost or damaged, contact your dealer
to order a replacement.
Do not open or alter the battery or the battery charger.
Do not place the battery near fire or corrosive substances. Do not immerse in
water or other liquids.
Avoid subjecting the battery from high temperatures, such as directly under the
hot sun, for prolonged periods of time.
Do not connect (short circuit) the two poles of the battery.
After much use, your battery's charge holding capacity will decrease. If you find
that your battery does not hold sufficient charge even for short trips, you should
contact your dealer to order a replacement. Under normal use, the battery will
undergo 500 charging and discharging cycles.
If the battery will not be used for an extended period of time, charge it fully and
recharge it every month. Store it in a cool place.
² Your e-bike battery is engineered with precision for high capacity and long
useful life. We do not recommend that you use it to power other electrical
devices. Improper use of the battery will damage the battery and shorten its
useful life and may cause a fire or an explosion.
