Battery Instructions
Locking & Unlocking the Battery
This bike is supplied with a set of keys, that are required to lock & unlock
the battery from the bike. The lock is located at the top of the battery near
the seat clamp. Simply turn clockwise to unlock the battery.
Removing the Battery from the Bike
To remove the battery, raise the seat if required, turn the key clockwise and
slide the battery up. When the battery has been lifted 30mm, it can be pulled
from its retaining slots, and can be removed from the frame. When
reinstalling the battery make sure to align the retaining tabs with the
retaining slots and then push down until the lock can be heard “click” into
place.
Always make sure the battery is securely locked in place before riding.

Page 9
Turning the Battery On/Off
To ride with power assistance, you must
first switch the battery on. Lift the
weather cover on the right hand side of
the battery (as you sit on the bike) and
“flick” the red switch.
The battery charge can now be checked by
pressing the button below the key barrel
will illuminate the LED lights. The number
of LED’s illuminated indicates the level of
battery charge:
o4 lights on = More than 90% charge
o3 lights on = 40-90% charge
o2 lights on = 20-40% charge
o1 Red light on = Less than 20%
charge

Battery Care
Rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries have a limited life and will gradually
lose their capacity to hold a charge. This loss of capacity (ageing) is
irreversible. As the battery loses capacity, the length of time it will power
the bike (ride time) decreases. The typical estimated “healthy life” of a
Lithium-Ion battery is about three years or 500 charge cycles, whichever
occurs first. One charge cycle is a period of use from fully charged, to fully
discharged, and fully recharged again.
Battery Charging
Simply charge your battery any time you feel you need to use it.
The batteries should be charged at room temperature in a dry location
where a smoke detector is installed. Batteries must not be charged in the
vicinity of heat sources or flammable materials. After charging, batteries
and chargers should be disconnected from the power supply.
If you are charging your battery on the bike, with the bike turned off, insert
the charging plug into the charging port on the bike. Connect the battery
charger power plug to the mains power outlet and switch the mains power
Factors That Shorten Battery Life
Factors That Lengthen Battery Life
•Heavy-load use
•Low-load use
•Storage at over 30°C temperature
•Storage at a temperature between
10° and 20°
•Parking the ebike in direct sunlight
•Parking the ebike in the shade or
a cool location
•Prolonged storage (more than 30
days without use) in a fully
charged or discharged state
•Storage (more than 30 days
without use) at approx. 30-60%
battery capacity

on. You will then see 2 red lights to show that it is successfully charging.
One of the lights will then turn green, once the battery is fully charged. Turn
off the power outlet and remove the battery charger from the bike.
If you are charging the battery off the bike, firstly ensure that the power on
the bike is switched off and carefully remove the battery from the bike.
Insert the charging plug into the charging port on the battery. Connect the
battery charger power plug, to the mains power outlet and switch the mains
power on. You will then see 2 red lights to show that it is successfully
charging. One of the lights will then turn green, once the battery is fully
charged. Turn off the power outlet and remove the charger from the battery.
Battery Charger
You should only use the battery charger that is supplied, as new, with the
bike
Battery Maintenance
•On the first ride of your new bike, observe and note the ride time
that a new fully-charged battery provides for powering your bike,
measured in distance travelled, not time. Use this distance as a basis
to compare future ride times.
•Routinely check the battery’s charge status.
•Carefully monitor batteries that are approaching the end of their
estimated life. Consider replacing the battery with a new one if you
note either of the following conditions:
oThe battery run time drops below about 60-70% of the
original run time.
oThe battery charge time increases significantly.

Page 12
•If a battery is stored or otherwise unused for an extended period,
be sure to follow the storage instructions in this document. If you
do not follow the instructions, and the battery has no charge
remaining when you check it, consider it to be damaged. Do not
attempt to recharge it or to use it. Replace it with a new battery.
Storage (consider storage, 30 days+)
If you do not use your bike for a period of 30 days or more, it is
recommended that you charge or discharge the battery to approximately
30% to 60% of the capacity before storage. Then remove the battery and
store it separately from the bikes in an area, free of direct sunlight at
temperatures between 5 °C and 20 °C. Then routinely, check the battery,
once every 30 days.
We recommend storage in uninhabited rooms with smoke detectors that are
not designated for use in escape routes.
+ The battery self-discharges during storage. Higher temperatures (above 20 °C) will reduce
the battery storage life
++ To help determine when the battery is at approximately 30-60% charge level, you can check
the display unit on the bike. 2-3 illuminated LED battery bars on the bikes display unit will
sufficiently represent the desired 30-60% level. Alternatively, if you want a more accurate
measurement, you can take the battery to a specialist battery retailer, who could do this for
you.
Handling Precautions
•Do not open the battery.
•Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture a battery.
•Do not drop a battery.
•Do not short the external contacts on a battery.
•Do not dispose of the battery in fire or water.
•Do not expose the battery to long periods of time in temperatures
above 60 °C.

Page 13
•Keep the battery away from children.
•Avoid exposing the battery to excessive shock or vibration
•Do not use a damaged battery.
Cleaning & Care
We recommend using a damp cloth to clean the outside of the battery shell
only. To protect the electronic components, batteries must not be cleaned
with direct water contact, for example: do not submerge the battery in water
or use a hose or power hose on any part of the battery.
Disposal
E Bike rechargeable batteries are considered as industrial batteries and
should not be disposed of as household waste or in the usual battery
collection containers. Selected bicycle dealers/specialist battery retailers or
council recycling centres will take used or defective batteries back for free
and ensure proper disposal.
