4.5 Lighting
The front and rear lights, as well as the display light, are switched 'On' and 'Off' on the RIDE+ controller.
When the battery pack shows 'empty', there is still enough capacity left to run the lights for about
two hours. The onboard software ensures that - as long as the bike is moving - the lights can operate
for an indefinite period of time using the dynamo function of the motor as the power source.
WARNING. Do not ride the electric bike without the battery pack. The battery pack must be on the
bike while riding, else the bike has no lights when needed.
4.6 Charging the battery pack
WARNING. Before charging, make sure that the system is switched Off and never turn the system
On or Off during charging. This prevents unintended activation of the system. Only use the power supply
approved for use with this bike. Charging with a non-original power supply may cause the battery pack
to overheat, catch fire, or even explode. When charging, do not let the battery pack or power supply get
wet – because of risk of electrical shock.
The battery pack can both be charged in the bike or it can be removed from the bike for charging.
Li-Ion batteries such as are used in the electric bicycle, have no 'memory-effect'. This means that
the battery capacity is not influenced if the battery pack is recharged before it is completely empty.
You can recharge after every ride. However, you will get the most from your battery pack if, for the
first three charges, you use it until only one unit is showing in the 'fuel gauge' on your display.
NOTICE. When it is necessary to recharge, the battery pack will emit a 'beep'. Charge the battery pack immediately.
Battery packs are best charged at temperatures around 20°C, so avoid warm locations. When coming
in out of the cold, allow the battery pack to get up to room temperature (about 20°C) before charging.
• Charge status indication
On battery packs with a round charging port with translucent ring, it is possible to check the charge status
manually by touching the charge connector ring to activate the charge LED. It will light up in the color
corresponding to the charge level: Green for 100-85%, Orange for 85-25% and Red when below 25%.
• Power supply 100-240V
The power supply will adjust automatically to the local voltage.
• Charging
Connect the connector of the power supply to the battery pack.
Connect the power supply to an appropriate power source.
WARNING. Replace a damaged power cable immediately to prevent an electric shock.
The light at the charging port of the battery pack will turn red. It will turn yellow as soon as charging
starts. As soon as the yellow light on the battery charging port turns green, the battery pack is fully
