Battery Instructions
To check how much charge the battery has, press the button on the battery
top. The battery charge light will illuminate. The colour of the LED indicates
the level of battery charge:
oBlue = More than 90% charge
oGreen = 40 –90% charge
oRed = 20 –40% charge
oFlashing Red = Less than 20% charge
Locking & Unlocking the Battery
The bike is supplied with a set of keys, that are required to remove the
battery from the bike. The lock is located at the top of the battery, in the
frame of the bike.
Removing the Battery from the Bike
To remove the battery, insert the key and turn fully clockwise. Pull the
battery straight up & out from the bike. When reinserting the battery,
place the base in first and push down gently on the top to engage the
lock. You will hear the lock “click” into place.
Always make sure the battery is securely locked in place before riding

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.
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%

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
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.
