BATTERY & CHARGING
The battery can be either charged by leaving the battery in the bike or by removing it.
To remove the battery firstly flick the seat up using the quick release switch located at the back of the
seat. This will enable you to take the battery out of the bike. Insert the keys then press in and turn anti
clockwise until the locking mechanism retracts from the battery mount.
When the battery is on you can see the current charge state by pressing on the button located on top
of the battery. This will give you 4 bars. A full battery will indicate three bars lighting up green and one
red at the bottom.
Removing the battery from the bike when storing it for a long period of time is recommended. In this
case store it in a cool, dry area away from water. The charge left in the battery should be 50%-75% for
long storage times.
Cleaning the battery and battery housing should only be done while disconnected and powered off.
Use a dry rag, and if need be a lightly damp rag.
DO NOT spray with high-pressured water to prevent damage or possible short-circuiting. Only charge
the battery with the supplied charger as others may not function properly, and this increases the
possibility of fire or explosion.
Charging the battery during the day in a dry space with a smoke/fire alarm is recommended, while
placing the battery on a non-flammable surface. Do not store the charger or battery in a wet place or
in direct sunlight.
Lithium-ion batteries are meant to be recharged with 10%-15% of the charge remaining to prevent
damage to the cells. Keep both the battery and charger out of the reach of children and If there
appears to be an issue with the charger or battery, stop use immediately and contact either the
manufacturer or Wattwheels at admin@wattwheels.co.nz
