12. Maintaining the Controller.
Retrospec e-bikes have the Controller (the e-bike "brain"), positioned inside the
downtube. The Controller is a critical component for your e-bike system. It is very
important to follow the care guidelines below:
Do not immerse, submerge the electric parts in water - damage will likely happen.
NOTE: If you think water may have got into the control box, switch-off the power
immediately and pedal without electric assistance. You can pedal with electric
assistance as soon as the controller has dried out.
As with the battery, hub, display and other electrical parts - Never strongly shake,
slam/drop, or throw the Controller - damage can occur.
As with the battery, the best operating temperatures for the controller is:
14F-104F (-10°C to 40°C).
The controller should be used in normal working temperature range from
14F-104F (-10°C to 40°C).
WARNING! NEVER open the controller box. Any attempt to open the controller
box, modify or adjust the controller will void the warranty. Please ask your local
dealer or authorized service specialist to repair your bike.
13. Maintaining the Power-Off Control of the Brake Lever
This is a very important component for safe riding. Pay close attention to protect
it from impact and damage. Regularly check that it is securely fastened to the
handlebar.
WARNING! As mentioned above, long term storage, without periodic charging
may reduce battery life.
•
Never use any metals to directly connect the two poles of the battery,
otherwise, the battery will be damaged due to short circuit, and
warranty voided.
•
Never put the battery near to fire or heat source.
•
Never leave the battery in an unattended vehicle—the heat is likely to
cause damage.
•
Never strongly shake, slam/drop, or throw the battery—damage is likely.
•
When the battery pack is removed from the bike, always keep it out of reach
of children to avoid and reduce the chance of accidents.
•
Do NOT disassemble the battery
•
IMPORTANT! Always read the owner's manual before charging the battery!
•

14. Using and Maintaining the Battery Charger
Do not use this charger in an environment of gas and corrosive substances.
Never strongly shake, slam/drop, or throw the battery—damage is likely.
Always protect the battery charger from rain and moisture!
Operating temperature for the battery charger is: 14F-104F (-10°C to +40°C). Do
NOT disassemble the battery charger.
Use only the charger provided with your electric bike. Otherwise, damage could
occur to your battery, battery charger, and void the warranty.
When charging, both battery and charger should be minimum 4 in (10cm) away
from the wall, and in a cool, well-ventilated environment. Place nothing around or

If the bike is ridden infrequently, or stored long term, put the battery into deep
sleep mode by pressing the battery's power button. Check the battery every
3 months.
While riding, periodically check your battery charge level on your handlebar
mounted Display Panel. If you notice the battery charge is 5% or less, charge
immediately!
Make sure you have a full charge before taking a long trip.
To check the battery charge on the battery itself: Press the button on the end of
the battery case.
If, for example, all 4 lights illuminate—battery is fully charged.
15. Maintaining the Throttle
Take care to protect the throttle from impact or damage. If your bike falls or you
are in a crash, make sure to check the throttle function before riding.
Periodically check that the throttle cable is securely plugged-in to the throttle
body. If not, check and plug it in again.
