•Do not charge more than 12 hours to avoid affecting battery life
•Please note that the power rises quickly in the early stage of
charging and slow in the later stage.
•During the charging process, the charger has a temperature rise
effect which causes temperature rising in surface
•Keep the battery out of reach of children and pets
•Never try to open the battery
Charging safety (Continued)
Battery storage
•Please store the battery at an ambient temperature of 0-25 ℃. Do
not store the battery in an environment ≥ 40 ℃, otherwise it will
cause irreversible capacity decay of the battery
•If the e-bike is not used for a long time, the battery must be taken
out and stored separately. Please regularly maintain and charge
battery. Otherwise, the battery may be completely exhausted and
irreversible damage may occur
•Avoid storing batteries in places where there is a risk of falling.
Falling down can cause uncontrollable damage to the interior of
the battery and may cause the battery to leak, heat, smoke,
catch fire, or explode
•Keep the battery and charger away from water and heat sources
13

Regular Inspection

•Brake system: brake free stroke, brake fluid leaks, brake pads and
brake disc wear, brake power-off switch
•Horn: circuit solder joints and insulation
•Headlight: installation position, irradiation angle, wiring, insulation
•Display: display indication, wiring
•Fastener: whether the nuts and bolts are fastened, whether the
pedal is firm, and whether the handle is tightened
•Check the speed control: stroke position
Routine safety inspection
•Inspection of front and rear wheels: cracks and deformation
•Handlebar inspection: rotation, rotation range
•Frame inspection: welding points, nut tightening
•Front fork inspection: tightening condition, bearing
•Inspection of front and rear shock absorption: shock absorption stroke
Structural inspection
•Lithium battery inspection: voltage balance, insulation
•Motor inspection: end cover, bearing, signal wire, motor circuit,
machine edge shell
•Controller check: under voltage, over current protection, power failure
•Charger inspection: charging current, charging voltage
