13. Battery (Warnings)

Battery indicator
The battery indicator is full when the battery of your pedal-assisted bicycle is fully
charged. The battery indicator drops in level as the pedal-assisted bicycle is used. The
battery indicator may fluctuate in the charge level depending on the use of the pedal-
assisted bicycle, for example, if you are on a gradient, the battery indicator level may drop
rapidly as you consume much more of the battery power of your pedal-assisted bicycle.
To ensure optimal use and maintenance of the battery, it is recommended to fully charge
the battery after each use.
Make sure that the pedal-assisted bicycle, charger and charging port are dry.
When the pedal-assisted bicycle is fully charged, the LED light on the charger changes
from red (charging) to green (charging completed).
Use only the original charger. Other chargers may damage the device and pose other
potential risks.
The pedal-assisted bicycle should not be charged for extended periods. Overcharging
reduces battery life and may cause other potential risks.
Charge the pedal-assisted bicycle in a dry environment away from flammable materials
(e.g. materials that could explode into flames), preferably at an internal temperature of
15-25°C, but never below 0°C or above + 45°C.
Do not charge in direct sunlight or near a fire.
Do not charge the pedal-assisted bicycle immediately after use. Let the pedal-assisted
bicycle cool down for one hour before charging.
Never leave the pedal-assisted bicycle unattended while charging. Thermal risk! Never
connect the DC charging socket with metal objects.
Read the charging and storage sections above to ensure you maintain and handle the
battery properly. Keep the pedal-assisted bicycle away from open flames or other heat
sources to prevent the battery from overheating. Do not leave the pedal-assisted bicycle
exposed to freezing temperatures. Both excessive heat and cold can drain the battery.
Avoid completely discharging the battery.
It is best to recharge the battery while there is still some charge left. This prolongs the
life of the battery. When the charge is too low, it is not possible to drive normally. This
may lead to the rider losing control or falling off.
Make sure the battery is charged at regular intervals, even if you do not use thepedal-
assisted bicycle for an extended period. This prevents damage to the battery caused by
low voltage over an extended period.
