5.2 Storing the bike

" " Take the storage temperatures of the
REMARK
bike components into consideration.
Protect the drive unit, on-board computer and
battery against extreme temperatures (such as
intense sunlight without adequate ventilation).
These components (especially the battery) can be
damaged by extreme temperatures.
5.2.1

Parking the bike after use

1. Park the bike at a secure place at all times.
2. Switch off the electric assistance.
3. In order to prevent theft, it is always wise to lock your bike
and put away any loose components of the bike.
4. To avoid damage, always have the bike parked on its stand.
Do not lean the bike against a wall.

5.2.2 Storing the bike for a longer time

If the bike is not to be used for a long period of time (more than
3 months), it is not necessary to take any special precautionary
measures, such as removing the battery, providing the
following instructions are followed:
•
Observe operating temperatures for the bike components.
Protect the drive unit, on-board computer and battery
against extreme temperatures (for example intense sunlight
without adequate ventilation).

These components (especially the battery) can be dam-
aged by extreme temperatures.
•
Store the bike and battery at temperatures between 0 °C
and 20 °C.
Temperatures below –10 °C or above +60 °C must always
be avoided. For storing for long periods of time, an ambient
temperature of approx. 20 °C is the most suitable. Take care
to ensure that the maximum storage temperature is not
exceeded.
•
Store the bike somewhere that is dry and has good ventila-
tion. Protect the bike against moisture and water.
•
During bad weather, remove the battery from the bike and
store the battery in a closed space until the next use.
•
Always store the battery in a room with smoke detectors,
away from flammable or combustible objects and not in the
vicinity of sources of heat.
•
Ensure that the battery is charged to approx. 30% to 60%
