ADVICE
If you feel that the total capacity of your battery has significantly decreased, it could be
because of unsuitable climatic conditions.
ADVICE
Always use just the charger you received with your bike! Use of a different charger could
damage the battery or different parts of the electric system, which would lead to warranty
becoming void.
If the state of charge indicator shows that the battery is flat, there's still minimal voltage in it to
prevent damage. Such voltage is insufficient for e-bike operation, therefore charge the battery
as soon as possible. Never leave the battery flat for a long time. It could lead to permanent
damage.
FACTORS INFLUENCING
THE RANGE OF AN E-BIKE
E-bike's driving distance is influenced by many
factors and because of that it is difficult to
determine how many kilometres one bike rides
on one charge. Among the key factors are:
• trail profile (flat terrain vs. long steep climbs)
• weather – temperature, headwind (ideal
temperature is around 20°C, windless)
• weight of the rider and load (greater weight
= greater consumption)
ADVICE
To reach the maximum possible range, pay attention to the technical condition of your e-bike
and maintain recommended tire pressure. Condition of the battery is also very important, so
take care of it according to this manual. Try to use the lowest assistance mode so the ride is
comfortable for you, but the battery doesn't needlessly expend its energy.
By choosing the proper gear you can increase the range and speed while using the same
strength.
BATTERY TRANSPORT
Regulations for dangerous load transport are
applied to battery transport. Intact batteries
can be transported via private users on the
road without special requirements. When
transporting via commercial users or third
parties, special requirements for packing
14
• technical condition of the bike
(well-greased and adjusted bike resists
less)
• tire pressure (underinflated tires = greater
consumption)
• riding style (the more strength you expend,
the less the motor consumes)
• chosen assistance mode
(higher mode = greater consumption)
• current battery capacity
(greater capacity = greater range)
and marking must be adhered to (i.e. ADR
regulations). You should send a battery only
when the casing is not damaged. Seal the free
contacts and pack the battery so it doesn't
move in the packing. Warn the delivery service
that it is a dangerous load.
