BATTERY CARE & CHARGING
Your Batribike Electric Tricycle 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
key switch located on the side 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 key
operated switch located on the side of the
battery and then unlock by pushing in the key
and turning anti-clockwise to the unlock
position.
Remove the saddle and seat post and slide the
battery upwards using the handle provided.
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

7
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 slide cover on the side 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 Tricycle can be used as a normal pedal
tricycle by simply not switching on the battery.
To use under electric power, switch on at the key operated switch
on the side of the battery.

PERFORMANCE *
*Please remember that the above values are provided as a guide. Due to manufacturing tolerances
the speeds and distances may vary.
Weather and terrain will affect the performance. In hilly areas or when the trike 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 trike will achieve higher performance levels.
(These results were obtained by test riders in optimal conditions - 75kg rider, level ground, no wind).
There are 3 levels of pedal assistance from the
motor. Using the ASSIST button you can select
from LOW, MED (Medium) and HIGH.
Pedal Assistance
20+ Miles
13-15 MPH
LEVEL
PEDAL ASSISTANCE FROM THE MOTOR
Provides maximum power when negotiating
hills and head winds.
Great when needing to simply get from A to B
as fast as possible.
HIGH
Pressing the button will scroll through the levels. Pressing the
MODE button when in HIGH mode will return to LOW assist.
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.
The speed and power will vary as the level is changed. Refer to the
table below
EXAMPLE OF USAGE
Range Not Tested
MEDIUM
LOW
Range Not Tested
Normal Use Mode.
This is the level to use for everyday cycling.
Gives good performance whilst maximising
usable range per charge.
Best for everyday use.
Use this lower power level 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.

11
No Assistance - Normal Pedal Tricycle
If you switch on the battery but do not press the power button on
the display your Batribike Trike will now act and feel like a normal
tricycle. This is useful when you are feeling fit at the start of a
journey or using your trike for exercise purposes. Power is still only
a button press away.

12
The throttle is available all the time the power is switched on at the
handlebar display.
The throttle can be used whilst pedalling in any of the assist modes
to give extra help as required.
The throttle is not limited by the assistance level selected and is
available to give up to maximum power at all times.
Use the throttle control gently. A small push will apply a small
amount of power. Pushing more will increase the power until the
control is fully rotated when full motor power will be applied.
Throttle assistance can also be used without pedalling.
A handy way of using the throttle is to pull away from junctions, or
when starting on inclines as the rider will pull away easier and is
less likely to wobble. It can also be useful when used to pull out
and overtake slower cyclists smoothly and quickly.
Care should be taken not to operate the throttle when mounting/
dismounting the tricycle. It is good practice to turn off the power
before getting off or on the trike, also to hold one or both of the
brakes to maintain stability. Holding the brake cuts the power to the
throttle and will stop the trike moving if the throttle is accidentally
operated.
It is not advisable to operate the throttle and then release the brake
as this will cause a power surge which may cause damage to the
tricycle and/or risk of personal injury.
Using the throttle at maximum level at all times will use more
battery power than when using it with discretion.
Using the Throttle - Country Specific
PLEASE NOTE:
The throttle control is not activated for some countries due to legal
restrictions. Please refer to your dealer for help and advice.

13
BS EN15194 Compliance
The BATRIBIKE Trike conforms to BS EN15194.
For the British market, the addition of a throttle control has
rendered this not compliant in some countries.
●You are recommended to seek advice from the relevant
authorities in the country you are visiting before travelling.

14
STANDARD TRICYCLE FUNCTIONS
Gears—3 Speed Nexus Hub
Gear number 1 is low and makes it easier to pedal (for hills and rough terrain).
Gear number 3 is high and helps you to go faster (for use on level ground).
To change gear use the selector mounted on
the left handlebar. Twist the inner portion of
the handlebar grip to change up or down
through the gears. The gear number is
displayed in a small window as shown above.
Braking
To stop, release the throttle and pull the
brake levers.
Parking Brake
The Trike 20 and Trike-R are fitted with parking
brakes. This allows the rider to leave the Trike with
confidence, knowing that it will not roll away.
To operate the parking brake, pull the brake lever
towards the handlebar and click the small parking
brake lever into position. This will retain the brake
lever close to the handlebars and keep the brake on.
Both brake levers have the parking brake facility.
To release, squeeze the brake lever and the small
parking brake lever will click back to the released
position for normal riding.
Note:-
It is recommended to use the parking brake
facility on both brakes when parking the Trike.
It is recommended to leave the parking brakes
off when storing the Trike.
Parking Brake OFF
Parking Brake ON

15
Tilting Mechanism (Not fitted to Trike-R)
The Batribike Trike 20 is fitted with a tilting mechanism which aids the rider to
corner more easily. Using the tilting facility also allows for greater stability when
cornering, reducing the risk of lifting a rear wheel.
The lever to release the tilt lock is located on
the handlebars
To release the tilt lock pull the lever towards
you. To lock the tilting mechanism push the
lever in the opposite direction, (away from
the rider).
If the lever is stiff to pull, gently rock the
handlebars from side to side.
It is recommended that the tilt is released after getting on the Trike and that it is
locked before getting off.
Please Note :-
The Trike 20 is designed to be ridden in the
tilting mode. We do not recommend that it
is ridden in the locked position as there
may be a possibility of lifting a rear wheel.

16
Tyre Pressures
The tyres should be pumped up to within the range stated on the sidewall.
This should be regularly checked as running with the correct pressures
will ensure maximum range from the battery.
Seat Height Adjustment
Rotate the locking bar (located below the
seat) anti clockwise to release the seat post.
The seat height can then be adjusted. Rotate
the locking bar clockwise to secure the seat
post.
Adjusting the Handlebars
The handlebars can be adjusted for height
and angle to suit the rider. Hex keys, (not
supplied), will be required to carry out these adjustments.
Note the marking on the seat post and handlebars that indicates the
minimum insertion. Do not use the Trike with the markings showing.
Carrying Capacity
The Batribike Trikes are fitted with useful load carrying baskets front and
rear. Please note the maximum load for the rear basket is 40kg and the
maximum combined weight for Rider and load is 130kg.
All other operation of your BATRIBIKE Electric Trike is
as per a normal pedal cycle.

17
Lights
Lights are provided on your BATRIBIKE tricycle.
These are power efficient LED units which are powered from the
main battery.
To turn on the front and rear lights, ensure
that the power is on and momentarily press
the LIGHT button.
When the light is ON the red LED next
to the LIGHT Button will illuminate.

Datatag is now fitted as
standard to your BATRIBIKE
Electric Tricycle
We believe that there are many advantages to having the system
fitted. Our customers often worry about the possibility of theft and
Datatag has a proven track record as a deterrent. There are other
benefits too, including cheaper insurance as major insurers offer
reduced premiums for Datatagged bikes and trikes.
How it Works
Datatag UV “Stealth” PRO Cycle System including Datadots®
The Datatag UV “Stealth” PRO Cycle System is ideal for
BATRIBIKE Electric Tricycles and is a Police Preferred Crime
Prevention Product. The system protects your tricycle frame, forks
and battery, plus the Datadots® are used to mark many of your
electric and non-electric cycle components. The system includes
the following state-of-the-art technology:
“Stealth” UV Etching
The system contains 3 UV “Stealth” Etches to
permanently mark the frame, forks and battery.
The unique, almost invisible UV etching
system, forms a major part of the risk deterrent
and subsequent identification. These “stealth”
UV etches don’t visibly mark your cycle
paintwork!
Ultimate TE Label
The specially designed Datatag tamper evident labels contain a
unique cycle identification number and QR code.
They warn off any potential thieves and are both attractive and
impossible to remove without damage.

19
A quick scan of the QR code displays the
Make & Model of the trike but does not display
any personal information. Police can obtain
further information via their linked PNC
systems.
Datadots®
A superior microdot identification system
developed for ease of use. The Datadots®
can be applied to any surface, and we have
chosen strategic places on major
components, thus making it virtually
impossible for the criminals to locate and
remove them all.
You must remember to register your Datatag as soon as possible,
preferably within 48 hours of purchasing your bike.
Register your Datatag
Visit www.datatag.co.uk/cycle
and look for the PRO Cycle
System Registration button.
If you do not have internet
access, speak to your dealer for
help with registration.
You will need the two codes printed on the Datatag Registration
Certificate included with your bike. The Unique Cycle Visible ID
Number, found on the label attached to your frame, and the
Datatag Stealth Etch Code marked on the frame, forks and battery.
(Only visible in UV light). You also need the bike Serial Number.
This is a separate registration system to our Batribike Warranty
Registration.

MAINTAINANCE SCHEDULE
Maintaining your tricycle ensures you’ll get the most out of every ride and out of
the entire life of your BATRIBIKE electric trike. How much of your trike’s
maintenance you can do yourself will depend on your knowledge, skill,
experience and whether you have the necessary tools for the job.
Beyond this manual, it is good to consult your BATRIBIKE dealer for advice if
you are at all unsure about any of the procedures described. Normal
maintenance is not covered under the warranty and this service may be
chargeable.
Before every ride
●Mechanical safety checks, (see notes on page 2). Use a fully
charged battery. Visual inspection for damages.
After every ride (or WEEKLY)
●Clean the trike, including chain rings and sprocket. Clean and
lightly oil the chain and gears.
●This must be carried out after every ride in dusty, marine or
winter conditions due to the salt laden atmosphere.
Every 20 - 30 hours of riding (or MONTHLY)
●Squeeze the brakes and rock the trike to check for any
looseness of the headset or brake mechanisms with each forward or
backward movement. If any are loose, have your dealer check it.
●Lift the front wheel and turn handlebars left and right to check for
tightness of steering. If tightness is detected it may be necessary to
lubricate bearings and/or adjust the headset.
●Check and adjust the brakes, replace if worn out.
●Squeeze spokes in adjoining pairs between your thumb and
index finger.
They all should have the same tension. Have your dealer re-spoke or
true the wheel if necessary.
●Check cables for rust, kinks and fraying, have your dealer
replace them if necessary.
●Check bottom bracket for play and adjust if necessary.
●Check wheel bearings for play and adjust/lubricate if necessary
