Understanding Your Battery……………………
The key switch on the battery has 3 positions, 2 o'clock which is turned off and disengaged from the bike ready to be
withdrawn, 4 o'clock which is locked in the bike but switched off and 6 o'clock which is locked and turned on ready to
go. The key cannot be removed when it is in the ‘on’ position
To get maximum life out of your battery please try to maintain a charge in it at all times, this is especially important if
you are not using the bike regularly
A USB port is available on the battery to charge a portable device such as a phone, light or GPS system. The battery
itself cannot be charged via this port
How to Charge the Battery
• Turn the key to OFF
• Insert the plug of the charger into the charging socket of the battery box
• Insert the charger into a wall outlet, a red light should now appear.
• Leave the battery charging for 5-6 hours in a well ventilated area
• When the light on the charger turns green your battery is fully charged
• The charger will become warm whilst charging, this is perfectly normal
• You can charge the battery either while it is on the bike or when it has been removed
• To remove the battery, with the key in the off position, push the key into the battery and turn in an anti-clockwise
direction, you will see a small lug at the top of the battery disappear within the casing, now flip the saddle up and slide
the battery up and off the retaining rail. To replace the battery carry out the opposite procedure and ensure that the
locking lug locates within the hole in the battery rail
Make sure when inserting the battery that the rail engages in the slot provided in the rear of the battery
Precautions whilst Charging the Battery
• Always charge your battery in a dry and clean place, keep the charger dry and clean
• Always turn off the motor and remove the key from ignition before and during charging to prevent serious damage
to the controller and the battery
• Do not attempt to open or make any amendments/repairs to the battery
• Keep out of reach of children
• Do not place anything on top of the charger or battery whilst they are charging
- it is normal for these to get warm during the charging process
• If you do not use your bicycle for a long period of time then please ensure you check the battery on a monthly basis
and charge if necessary
• Never leave the battery in a fully discharged state for more than 24 hours
