Battery life

Observe the following points to increase the service life of
your Pedelec battery:
› Make sure that the battery is fully charged before
you ride your bike for the first time or if you have
not used it for a while.
› You should partially recharge the battery whenever
possible: Try not to run the battery all the way
down to empty and recharge it even after a short
period of operation. Running the battery to empty
reduces its service life.
