Pre-Ride Recommendations • Check all parts of the electric bike before your first ride. If you notice any issues or are unsure, contact help.Kogan.com for support. • Regularly check tyre pressure to ensure smooth pedalling and optimise battery performance. Proper inflation reduces tyre wear and extends battery life.
Page 4
• Always check the battery charge level before riding. Fully charge the battery before first use. • To extend battery life, avoid partial charging and adjust your ride length based on the remaining battery level. • Battery performance varies based on terrain, rider weight, and the level of motor assistance used.
Page 5
• Only use the charger provided with the bike. Using an incompatible charger may damage the battery and void the warranty. • The charger is intended for indoor use only. Keep it away from water and avoid using it in damp or combustible environments. Always unplug the charger by pulling the metal body, not the cord.
