BELOW ARE THE GUIDELINES FOR THE INITIAL
BATTERY CHARGING PROCESS:
• Before using the e-bike for the first time, we strongly recommend that you conduct a preliminary battery
check-up and perform a full charge for optimal performance.
• To charge the battery, before riding connect the e-bike to the charger and allow the battery to reach full
capacity. According to the manufacturer’s instructions, the initial charge typically takes between 48 to 72
hours prior to your first ride.
• During the charging process, keep an eye on the LED indicator or display on your battery charger. This will
give you insights into the charging progression. If you encounter any problems, don’t hesitate to reach out to
the manufacturer for assistance.
• After the battery has been fully charged, it’s recommended to take your e-bike out for a test ride. Pay at-
tention to its performance, including the speed, range, and power-assistance levels. Any significant discrep-
ancies might imply that the battery capacity is compromised and needs further attention.
• Even when the e-bike is not being used frequently, it’s crucial to regularly charge and discharge the bat-
tery. This practice helps to prevent battery degradation during periods of storage.
