Chapter 2: Getting Started

This chapter describes procedures, etc. that must be performed before
using the electric bicycle, such as mounting the display unit of the console
or charging the battery.

Checking the battery

Before using the battery for the first time after
purchase, check to see if it is fully charged.
1) Press the battery level button to see if the
five battery level indication lamps light.
– If all five of the battery level indication lamps
do not light, charge the battery by the exclusive
charger. (–> page EN-16)
Attention
– Be sure to use only the designated battery. Fai-
lure to observe this may result in a drop in the
travelling performance of the electric bicycle or
cause the motor unit or console to malfunction.
– When using a non-designated battery, the sa-
fety circuit may be activated, and prevent both
charging and discharging.

Note
– Due to the characteristics of the battery, the
following may occur, but do not indicate a pro-
blem.
– In cold weather, battery performance may de-
crease, resulting in decreased travellable dis-
tance or decreased assist force. This perfor-
mance decrease may be mitigated by storing
the battery in a warm room, and mounting the
battery on the electric bicycle only during use.
– Even when the battery is not used, it will na-
turally discharge over time, and may be una-
ble to travel the standard travellable distance.
Check the battery level prior to departure.
– If the battery is subjected to excessive rechar-
ge cycles or prolonged use, its capacity may
decrease, and the travellable distance may
gradually decrease. Furthermore, travellable
distances may decrease depending on wea-
ther conditions, road conditions, bicycle condi-
tion, or riding style.
WARNING
Do not use battery whose case is damaged or
cracked.
Use of battery with damaged cases, etc. may
cause liquid leakage and get into the eyes and
cause blindness.
CAUTION
Do not place battery at wet locations or loca-
tions dirtied with oil or mud.
– Doing so may cause battery malfunction.
Grip the battery handle with one hand, and
carry battery supported with the other hand to
prevent them from being dropped.
– Dropping battery may cause damage or injury.
