Charging the battery
Risk of the battery exploding if the wrong charger is used. This can result in serious or
even fatal injuries.
· Only use the charger supplied.
· Observe and follow the instructions in the charger manual.
· The battery must be charged in a temperature range between 10° and 30°.
Charging the battery when it is removed from the charger generally results in a slightly
longer battery life as the heat generated during the charging process can be released
more easily into the air.
You can charge your battery in two ways. By inserting the battery into the bike frame
and by removing the battery from the bike frame.
Charging with the battery inserted
You can charge the battery directly at the charging port of the battery without having
to remove it.
Charging with the battery removed
To charge the battery, proceed as follows:
· Remove the battery from the holder.
· Ensure that the battery has no visible damage, e.g. a broken casing.
· Place the battery on a non-flammable surface, e.g. ceramic.
· Pay attention to and follow the instructions in the charger manual, if this is enclosed
separately.
· Plug the charger jack-plug into the charging port provided on the battery.
· The charging process takes about 5-6 hours. When the charging light is green, the
battery is charged.
· Disconnect the mains plug from the wall socket.
· Remove the jack plug from the battery charging port.
· Place the battery back in the holder.
Operating the brakes
Brakes are there to control speed and not just to stop the bike. The maximum braking
force of the wheels is available just before the wheels 'lock' (come to a standstill) and
then slip. As soon as the tyre slips, you lose most of the braking power and all control of
the bike. You need to practise braking and stopping gently and without locking the
wheels. This technique is called progressive brake modulation.
Your bike is equipped with front and rear brakes. The function of the left brake lever is
the front wheel brake and that of the right brake lever is the rear wheel brake.
Pull the brake lever towards the handlebars and gradually increase the braking force.
If you feel that the wheel is locking, reduce the braking force so that the wheel can just
continue to turn and does not lock.
