Taking Care of Your Batteries
Proper maintenance of the batteries will maximize their lifespan and
available ride time.
·We use SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) or Li-Ion (Lithium Ion) batteries in all of our
electric bicycles. These are very user friendly types of batteries when
cared for properly.
·Batteries should be fully charged immediately when they are received for
the recommended charger times. FULLY CHARGE BATTERIES BEFORE
FIRST USE.
Below are the recommended charge times for each type of the batteries.
·Li-Ion(Lithium Ion) batteries 4-6 hours
·SLA(Sealed Lead Acid) 6-8 hours
·Charge batteries at least very 90 days for Li-ion and every 30 days for SLA
until normal use is resumed.
·Always store bicycle with fully charged batteries.
·Never charge the batteries for more than 24 hours
·Always disconnect the charger form the wall outlet and bicycle when
charging is complete (as indicated by the status on the charger) before
storing the bicycle.
·Do not store the batteries below 50000° ° ° °Fahrenheit and never allow
batteries to freeze (Below 32

after 5 minutes the bike will go into sleep mode to conserve the batteries.
To Restart, cycle the power switch Off then On . Bikes are not to be stored
