    Use only the supplied charger to charge your battery. Do not use an unauthorized substitute. If your charger is lost or damaged, contact your dealer to order a replacement.

  2. Step 2

    Do not open or alter the battery or the battery charger.

  3. Step 3

    Do not place the battery near fire or corrosive substances. Do not immerse in water or other liquids.

  4. Step 4

    Avoid subjecting the battery to high temperature, such as directly under the hot sun, for prolonged periods of time.

  5. Step 5

    Do not connect (short circuit) the two poles of the battery.

  6. Step 6

    After much use, your battery's charge holding capacity will decrease. If you find that your battery does not hold sufficient charge even for short trips, you should contact your dealer to order a replacement. Under normal use, the battery will undergo 1000 charging and discharging cycles.

  7. Step 7

    If the battery will not be used for an extended period of time, charge it fully and recharge it every 3 months. Store it in a cool place.

  8. Step 8

    Your e-bike battery is engineered with precision for high capacity and a long useful life. We do not recommend that you use it to power other electrical devices. Improper use of the battery will damage the battery and shorten its useful life, and may cause fire or an explosion.

Tips & Warnings
  • For your e-Bike, you should take note.
  • You should in general take care of your e-bike the way you would with a regular bicycle by keeping it dry, clean and the moving parts well lubricated. You should also avoid parking your e-bike in exposed areas whenever possible.
