Storing
Store pedelec, on-board computer, battery and
charger in a clean, dry place where they are
protected from sunlight. Do not store outdoors
to ensure a long service life.
Optimum pedelec storage
temperature
Table 99: Optimum storage temperature for batteries and
pedelec bikes
Temperatures under -10 °C or over +40 °C must
generally be avoided.
Storage at about 10 °C to 20 °C is beneficial to a
long battery life.
Store pedelec, on-board computer, battery and
charger separately.
3.7.1
Battery storage mode
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
The battery features a power-saving charge-to-
storage mode, which minimises discharge from
the battery.
Setting the storage mode status in the settings.
3.7.2
Break in operation
Notice
The battery discharges when not in use. This can
cause irreparable damage to the battery.
The battery must be recharged every
6 months.
The battery may become damaged if it is
connected permanently to the charger.
Never connect the battery to the charger
permanently.
The on-board computer battery discharges when
it is not in use. This can cause irreparable
damage to it.
Recharge the on-board computer battery for at
least 1 hour every 3 months.
MY23Z12 - 12_1.0_26.01.2024
Remove the on-board computer from its mount
if the pedelec is not going to be used for up to
four weeks. Store the on-board computer away
safely in a dry environment at room
temperature.
+10 ... +20 °C
If the pedelec is removed from service for
longer than four weeks, you need to prepare it
for a break in operation.
3.7.2.1 Preparing a break in operation
Remove the rechargeable battery from the
pedelec. Charge battery to about 30%–60%.
The pedelec needs to be cleaned with a damp
cloth and preserved with wax spray. Never wax
the friction surfaces of the brake.
Before longer periods without use, it is
recommendable to have your specialist dealer
carry out an inspection and basic cleaning and
apply preservative agent.
Pump tyres to maximum pressure. The side wall
will be squashed and damaged if the pedelec
stands on flat tyres.
3.7.2.2 Carrying out a break in operation
1 Store the pedelec, battery and charger in a dry,
clean environment. We recommend storing
them in uninhabited rooms with smoke alarms.
Dry locations with an ambient temperature
between 10 °C and 20 °C are ideal.
2 Check the battery level after 6 months. If only
one LED on the battery level indicator lights up,
recharge the battery to around 30%–60%.
3 Recharge the display battery for at least 1 hour
every 3 months.
4 Check the tyre pressure with an air gauge on a
regular basis.
5 Check brake on a regular basis.
6 Deflect suspension fork and rear frame damper
regularly to ensure a little oil reaches the seals
and the suspension elements remain smooth.
