WARNING. Mishandling of the battery pack could lead to severe damage or over-heating.
In an extremely rare case, a battery pack that has been severely impacted or otherwise mis-handled could
potentially catch fire. In an emergency situation, fully immerse the battery pack in a large container of water.
• Storage of the battery pack
When the battery pack is not in use, store it in a dry, cool place. Li-Ion batteries are best stored at a
100% charge. The temperature should be between 5°C and 25°C, preferably 5-10°C. Do not store it
in places where temperatures get higher than +25°C or lower than 5°C. Keep away from extreme
temperature changes. Keep the battery pack from condensation to prevent corrosion forming on the
terminals. Failure to follow these instructions result in damage to your battery and may require
battery replacement.
The battery pack can be stored for up to one year before a recharge is necessary, provided it was
100% charged first. We however recommend to charge it once every six months (when not in use).
NOTICE. It will need 'waking up' out of 'deep sleep' if it has not been used for a longer period of time.
To 'wake it up', it suffices to connect the power supply to the battery pack and a wall socket. This will
directly activate the battery pack again for normal use.
When the battery pack is not in use, we recommend to charge it at least once every six months.
Tip: The battery packs with the round charging connector can be left connected to the power indefinitely.
The power supply electronics will take care of the correct charging procedure. However, you will save energy
by disconnecting the power supply when the light in the charging port has turned green.
The warranty does not cover improper follow-up of battery care instructions.
• Battery pack recycling
Because a battery pack contains certain harmful substances, it must be treated as chemical
waste and may not be disposed as normal waste.
NOTICE. A battery pack may not be disposed as normal waste to prevent environmental
pollution, a defective or end-of-life battery pack can be handed over to your dealer or to
another waste disposal according to local rules.

3.11 Warnings and Suggestions for use

• Think about Safety
a. Do not ride the electric bike without the battery pack. The battery pack must be installed
on the bike while riding to ensure the lights can be powered for safety.
b. Do not misuse the electric bike by riding it without a saddle. Some bikes have a quick release on
the seat post. If the saddle gets stolen, it may lead to hazardous situations when still riding on the
electric bike without a saddle.
c. Check your bike for normal operation, loose parts and defects before riding.
d. Be aware that other road users do not expect that an electric bike can ride faster than a normal
bike. Riding faster also increases the risk of accidents.
e. Do not ride abusively. Only ride in the use conditions specified for an electric bike.
An electric bike is meant to be used on paved roads or bicycle paths.
