BATTERY CARE & CHARGING
Your Batribike Electric Bicycle uses a Lithium battery for it's power and the
following points will directly affect battery life and performance.
Storage
Batteries do not like to be stored in very hot or very cold conditions or to be
subject to conditions of high moisture. They also do not like to be left in a fully
discharged state. If Lithium batteries are left flat for an extended period they may
no longer be functional.
• Store your battery between 15º C and 25º C
in a dry area. (The conditions found in a
normal domestic house).
• If your Batribike is not in use for an extended
period it is imperative that you charge the
battery before storage and then charge the
battery once a month to prevent deterioration.
Charging
Lithium batteries do not like to be left discharged.
It is good practice to recharge as soon as is
reasonably possible after the battery goes flat.
We recommend charging after every ride, that
way your electric bike is always ready for your
next outing.
• Do not charge at temperatures below 0º C
• Switch off the battery before charging, using
switch located on the underside of the battery.
• Battery can be charged on or off the bike.
• Always make sure the battery and charger
are on a non-flammable, dry surface away
from sources of heat, humidity and flammable
materials.
• Do not cover the battery
or charger whilst charging.
• Only use the charger
supplied with your battery.
• Even if not in use recharge
your battery a minimum of
once a month.
Removing the Battery
To remove the battery, turn off at the
handlebar display, battery and power meter
switches located on the battery, then turn the
key anti-clockwise. Whilst holding the key in
the unlock position, slide out the battery from
the rear of the carrier. Useful finger grips are
provided on the underside of the battery.
For Your Safety
• Keep battery away
from children
• Do not dismantle
• Do not pierce or crush
• Do not immerse in liquid
• Do not expose to
temperatures over 60ºC
• Do not short circuit the
battery connections
• Do not leave unattended
whilst charging
• Do not sleep near a
battery that is charging
Failure to adhere to these
Battery Care instructions
can allow the battery to
deteriorate and may pose
a serious risk of Fire

Using the Charger
Two types of battery charger are
used by BATRIBIKE. (Only one will
be supplied). Both have a charge
light which will display RED when
charging and change to GREEN
when the battery is charged.
The alternative type charger also has a second light
which shows RED when mains power is applied.
• Ensure the battery is switched off.
• Plug the charging lead into the battery.
The charging lead plugs into the charging socket
located beneath the rubber cover on the underside of
the battery casing. It can only be inserted one way.
• Plug the charger into the mains socket and
switch on at the wall outlet.
• The lights on the charger will illuminate after a
few seconds.
When charging is complete the RED charge light will
change to GREEN. May take up to 6 hrs for flat battery.
• Once charged, switch off at the wall outlet and unplug.
• Disconnect the charging lead from the battery and
replace the cover over the charging socket.
The battery does not have to be completely discharged before it is recharged. The
Lithium battery has no "memory" and therefore can be charged at any time. It is
perfectly acceptable to recharge the battery after a short ride so that the battery is
fully charged before the next ride.
NOTE: If the battery is charged
and the charger left switched
on for an extended period the
alternative type charger will enter
a low power state, indicated by
both the RED and ORANGE/
GREEN LEDs flashing slowly.
Switch off and unplug as above.
IMPORTANT
Plug the charger into the battery
before switching on at the mains.
Similarly, switch off at the mains before
unplugging the charger from the battery.
DO NOT LEAVE PERMANENTLY
CONNECTED

Your BATRIBIKE Electric
Bicycle can be used as a normal

pressing and holding the UP (+) button.
To turn the backlight off,
again press and hold the
UP (+) button.

The top right large digits will normally display the current speed of
the bicycle. For the UK market this is set to show miles per hour
(MPH). The display is accurate to about 10% when the wheel size
is correctly calibrated and the tyre inflated as per the
manufacturers recommendations.
Speed Display
During normal use the display will also show the amount of power
(WATTS) being used by the motor.
This is shown in the lower right of the display.
Power Usage

12
There are 5 levels of pedal
assistance available from the motor.
Using the UP and DOWN buttons
you can select from Level 1 (ECO),
to Level 5 (BOOST). The motor will
then be activated upon pedalling. There is a rotation
sensor located near the crank which senses when the
pedals are being used.
Pedal Assistance
Please remember that the above values are provided as a guide.
Due to manufacturing tolerances the performance may vary.
PEDAL ASSISTANCE FROM THE MOTOR
LEVEL
RANGE (up to)
Provides maximum power when
negotiating hills and head winds.
Great when needing to simply get from
A to B as fast as possible.
Great for commuting to work.
EXAMPLE OF USAGE
Normal Use Mode.
These are the levels to use for everyday
cycling. Gives good performance whilst
maximising usable range per charge.
Best for Leisure Use.
Use these lower power levels when
negotiating busy cycle paths and
crowded areas. Also use when setting
off and gradually increase through the
levels for a smoother performance.
Ideal for negotiating obstacles.
28 miles
32 miles
48 miles
60 miles
38 miles

13
Weather and terrain will affect the performance. In hilly areas, or
when the bike is heavily loaded, there will be a significant increase
in the power used from
the battery and hence
the range will decrease
accordingly. A lightly
loaded bike will achieve
higher performance
levels. (These results
were obtained by test
riders in optimal
conditions - 75kg rider,
level ground, no wind).

14
Your BATRIBIKE bicycle has a Walk Assist
Mode. This is designed to propel the bike
under power at a low speed of 6 km/h (4
MPH) and is ideal to help you when pushing
the bike up steep hills. It is not designed for
prolonged use or whilst riding.
Assisted Walking Mode (PUS)
THEN HOLD
PUS flashes
whilst in Walk
Assist mode.
BS EN15194 Compliance
The BATRIBIKE Falcon conforms to BS EN15194.
If the assistance level is set to ZERO, then the motor
will not be turned on. Your BATRIBIKE will now act
and feel like a normal bicycle. This is useful when you
are feeling fit at the start of a journey or using your
bike for exercise purposes. Power is still only a button
press away.
No Assistance - Normal Pedal Bicycle

15
As delivered the BATRIBIKE Falcon is set up to use straight away
in the most popular configuration, but there are a number of
functions which can be tailored to suit the individual rider. These
are user set as per the following sections.

There is a Max Speed setting available on the User Menus.
Setting values above 25 has no effect on the performance of
the bike as the system hardware has been internally set to cut
off the motor assistance at 25 km/h and cannot be overridden.
The default setting is 25 to comply with UK and EU Electric Bike
Regulations.
The maximum speed can be set from 12 to 25 to suit the user.
Please note that these values are in km/h even though the
cycle computer functions are set to MPH for the UK market.
