7. Before the First Ride
Charging the e-bike is similar to charging your laptop. Use only the
original Oolter charger. More informaon about safe operaon of the
charger can be found in Secon 9: Charger Safety.
Before charging, turn the e-bike off. The bike can be charged via the
charging port on the top right of the down-tube First insert the charger
into the wall outlet and then connect it to the e-bike charging port.
Specificaons of the charger are provided in secon 13.
The total charging me from 0%-100% is about 3.5 hours. Charging is
indicated by the red light on charger. When charging has been
completed, the indicator light turns green. There is no risk of
over-charging, as the charger automacally stops when the baery is
full.
It is recommended to charge to 100% once every while, to let the
charger to complete the balancing of the baery cells. The charger is
meant for indoor use only.
Replace the charging port cover aer finishing charging.
WARNING! DO NOT charge the e-bike if the charge port or power cord is wet, dirty, or
obstructed with metal objects. DO NOT charge or use your baery if it is damaged or you see
traces of water.
Please perform the following checks before the first ride:
- Recharge the baery to 100%.
- Check the re pressure.
EKE / ETTA 35mm re - recommended pressure 50-60PSI
TORM 32mm re - recommended pressure 85-100PSI
TORM S 25mm re - recommended pressure 90-105PSI
- Spin the wheels and check if they run freely
- Check the front and rear brakes separately and adjust if necessary to make sure the brakes perform well
- Check the drivetrain, if the chain runs freely
- Shi through the gears to see if they are properly actuated
- Check the handlebar, if it is aligned with the front wheel and securely ghtened. Adjust for an opmal
riding posion if necessary.
- Adjust the seat height for opmal riding
- Check the lights and reflectors
- Check for any loose components and if the visual appearance seems all right.
- Pay aenon to any noise and sounds that should not be there
- Familiarize yourself with the local laws and regulaons on e-bikes, on safety and on how the bicycle
traffic is regulated. NB! The speed limit for e-bikes in the European Union is 25km/h. Only pedal assist is
allowed. This means the bike motor stops supporng the rider when the rider stops pedaling, or reaches
the speed 25km/h.

The OOLTER e-bikes use one or two lithium-ion baeries. It is not permied to use the baeries
supplied with the OOLTER e-bikes with any other product. These baeries have been designed for the
use of the OOLTER e-bikes only. Do not remove the baery from the e-bike. Only approved service
centers should do it, if needed. It is also not permied to disassemble or modify the baeries.
The baeries must not be exposed to high temperatures or fire. Do not short circuit or modify the
baeries in any way. Moisture can damage the baeries and cause corrosion or overheang, igning or
leaking. Do not expose the baeries to moisture or water.
Do not try to use any aermarket charger with your OOLTER e-bike. Aermarket chargers
may damage the baeries or cause injuries, a fire or an electric shock. Never charge lithium baeries
unaended.
OOLTER e-bikes use lithium-ion baeries which do not last forever and will deteriorate over me. The
baeries begin to degrade from the point of manufacturing. This is due to a chemical reacon inside the
baery, and gradually it causes the internal impedance of the cells to increase, which causes the baery
to hold less charge. A new baery always performs beer than an old one.
The LED markers on the display show the remaining capacity of the baery. Once the baery level has
dropped below 30%, recharge as soon as possible. You should never leave a bike in storage with an
empty baery.
Long term storage without recharging the baery can cause the baery to discharge too low and the
baery protecon electronics to lock up. A deeply discharged baery cannot be recharged and needs to
be taken to an official service center to be repaired or replaced. To avoid this, the baery of an OOLTER
e-bike needs to be charged to 50-60% before storage and recharged every two months, even if the bike
is not being used.
A deeply discharged baery is not covered under warranty. Do not store it below freezing temperatures.
Disposal: Your OOLTER e-bike uses sealed lithium-ion baeries, which must be recycled or disposed of
in an environmentally safe manner according to the local laws.
The OOLTER e-bike must not be disposed of by incineraon, landfilling, or mixing with household trash.
The improper disposal of lithium-ion baeries may result in the baery heang up, rupturing, or igning
which may cause serious injury or fires. The recommended disposal for any OOLTER bike at its
end-of-life is to dispose of the enre unit at an e-waste recycling center, program, or facility. The local
regulaons and laws pertaining to the recycling and disposal of lithium-ion baeries and/or products
containing them will vary by country, state, and local government. You must check the laws and
regulaons applicable in where you live in order to properly dispose of the baery and/or unit. It is the
user’s responsibility to dispose of their waste equipment properly in accordance with local regulaons
and laws.
For addional informaon about where you should drop off your electronic waste, please contact your
local or regional waste-management office, your household waste disposal service, or your local
OOLTER authorized dealer or service-provider.
