Retrospec Valen REV+ Assembly Instructions Manual page 7

8 Saddle Configuration (Step Thru Only)
The Valen Rev + Step Thru comes equipped with a 2-piece saddle (Fig. 9). The
back piece can be removed. This allows use of the saddle deck as a rear rack and
has a Thule window that allows use of a Yepp seat if desired.
To remove the back half, undo the 4 10mm nuts on the bottom side of the
saddle (Fig. 10). Once all 4 nuts are removed, the saddle can be lifted off the
frame (Fig. 11).
For installation, simply reverse the process. Torque nuts to 8Nm.

Procedure for Charging
Charge the bike battery according to the following procedure:
• When charging the battery by AC (house/wall plug), make sure the bike is
turned off. The power button on the battery is only used if you plan to not
use the battery for 4 weeks or more. It can becharged either in normal mode
or in deep sleep. The button when quick pressed will also indicate the charge
status of the battery via the LED lights.

cable of the charger into a reachable AC (wall plug) outlet.
• During charging, the LED on the charger pack will be RED showing charging
is in process. When the light on the charging pack turns GREEN, charging is
complete.

Upon full charge (GREEN light), FIRST disconnect the charger pack from the
AC (wall plug); SECOND disconnect the charger output plug from the battery
pack. FINALLY, close the charging socket cover on the battery - make sure it
is securely closed.
