BATTERY AND CHARGING
Range
The range is the total distance you can travel with the electric cargo bike without recharging the battery.
The average range of your electric cargo bike is typically 40-60 km. This depends on factors such as the total
weight in the box, the road surface, your cycling behaviour, the outdoor temperature, etc.
The minimal range of the Babboe Max-E is > 25 km.
PLEASE NOTE
• In order to achieve the battery's maximum capacity, it must be fully charged/discharged at least 10 times.
• Each year, the capacity may be reduced by up to 15%. This is normal. The reduction depends on the use
and charge cycles.
Inserting and disconnecting the battery
To disconnect the battery, first unlock the battery lock with the key. Then remove the battery from the
controller box. If you have an -E model, you can do this by pulling the handle underneath the battery. If you
have a Mountain model, you can do this by first pulling the battery sideways from the top (using the handle),
and then lifting it from the plug. To insert the battery, the key must be in the lock and the lock must be open.
Make sure that the battery is securely in place on all sides. Secure the battery with the lock.
PLEASE NOTE
• Batteries will slowly lose their charge, even if the cargo bike is not being used. Therefore, charge the
battery at least once every 3 months.
• If you won't be using the battery for a long time, remove the battery from your cargo bike and store it
indoors and 80% charged.
• Batteries have a lower performance at low temperatures. Let the battery come to room temperature
before connecting it to the charger.
Charging the battery
Use the charger that was provided with the cargo bike. Fully charge your battery once before using it for
the first time. If the LED light on the battery or adapter flashes during charging, it means the battery is still
charging. If the same light stays on continuously, it means the battery is full. The charging process may be
interrupted, it won't damage the battery.
NOTICE
For more information on the electric system, please refer to the additional manual included with your cargo bike.
