sistance being delivered, the instruction "Please
move the pedals" or "PEDAL" will continue to be
displayed. In this case you should consult your
specialist bike shop.

Charging the battery

You can charge the battery whilst it is on the Pedelec
➠ Chapter 4 "Quick start".
Alternatively, you can take the battery out of its holder
and charge it in a separate location. This is recommended
if it is cold outside, in order to charge the battery in a
warmer room.
Condensation may form on the charger if the
temperature changes suddenly from cold to hot.
In case of condensation, wait approximately one
hour before connecting the charger to the mains,
until it has warmed up to the temperature of the
room. Ideally, avoid such situations by storing the
charger in the place where it is operated.
The battery can be charged at temperatures between 0°C
and 45°C. However, you can maximise a battery's service
life by charging it at an ambient temperature of between
10°C and 30°C.
