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.
