5.4 Suitable Charging Environments

For safe and efficient charging, use the battery charger in a place that:
A) Is flat and stable (as it is on the bicycle).
B) Is out of direct sunlight.
C) Is not accessible to children or pets.

5.5 Unsuitable Charging and Discharging Environments and Solutions

The hot and cold environments described below may lead to charging entering stand by or sleep mode without
fully charging the battery.
• Winter discharging stand by mode or DUT (Discharge Under Temperature)
Battery discharging will enter stand by mode if the temperature is below -20 °C, stopping the pedal
assistance system from working and protecting the battery.
In such cases, stand by mode will automatically be disabled when the battery exceeds -20 °C.
• Winter charging stand by mode or CUT (Charge Under Temperature)
Battery charging will enter stand by mode if the temperature is below 0 °C. If charging starts and the
temperature falls below this level due to night cooling or other factors, charging will be stopped and
stand by mode will be activated to protect the battery.
In such cases, stand by mode will automatically be disabled when the battery exceeds 0 °C.
• Noise on televisions/radios/computers
Charging near to televisions, radios or similar devices may cause static, flickering images and other
interference.
If this happens, recharge somewhere that is away from the television or radio (e.g. in another
room).

5.6 Battery Charging Process

Due to its advanced lithium-ion technology, there is no need to wait for the battery to completely discharge before
connecting it to the charger. Likewise, it is also not necessary to charge it to 100% before using it again. But bear
in mind that, in order to achieve a maximum operating range, a full charge is recommended.
• To remove and charge the battery integrated into the frame, follow the instructions below:
1. The user must open the lock that is on the frame, below the built-in battery.
2. The user should carefully slide the battery out by twisting it slightly.
Turn off the pedal assistance system before removing the battery from
the bicycle.
Use both hands to remove the battery, taking special care not to drop it.
WARNING
Dropping the battery on your foot could cause injury and may damage
the battery.

D) Is free from rain and moisture.
E) Is well ventilated and dry.
F) Has a temperature of between 15–25 °C.

• Never charge or use a damaged battery.
• Be careful not to touch the charger during the charging process. It may
be hot, especially in high ambient temperatures.
• If a fault occurs while the battery is being charged, remove the
charger's power plug from the socket and wait for the battery to cool

down.
• Never touch the power plug, charging plug or contacts with wet hands.
• Make sure that there is no foreign matter on the battery's contacts
before placing it on the bicycle.
• Do not connect the charger's power plug to the battery or bicycle's char-
ging port if it is wet or damp. Make sure that you only connect the power
ATTENTION plug when the battery or bicycle's charging port is completely dry.
• Do not apply excessive force on the power plug or pull the cable with
the power plug connected to the battery.
• Stopping the battery charging process does not damage the battery.
NOTE • The battery achieves its maximum service life in ambient conditions of
15-25 °C.

5.7 Checking the Charge Level of the Battery

The battery has an SOC battery with a scale with 5 LED lights indicating the state of charge. If you briefly
press the SOC button, the LEDs that are lit will give you an accurate reading of the current charge level.
This information supplements the reading obtained on the display panel.
A) 5 LEDs lit | Charge is 91-100% of capacity
B) 4 LEDs lit | Charge is 71-90% of capacity
C) 3 LEDs lit | Charge is 51-70% of capacity
D) 2 LEDs lit | Charge is 31-50% of capacity
E) 1 LED lit | Charge is 11-30% of capacity
F) 0 LEDs lit | Charge is 0-10% of capacity
