Ensure enough cable slack at the front forks so the wheel can turn
•
freely without inadvertently tugging connectors.
When securing with cable ties, feed the tie underneath exposed
•
brake and derailleur cables to avoid interfering with these
mechanisms.
A Velcro wire covering sleeve can be used to hide the connector to
•
the hub motor
For setups that will see frequent wet weather use, it is a good idea to cover
every exposed electrical connection with self-adhesive silicone tape. Not
only does this effectively seal any water from getting into and corroding the
contacts, it also holds the mating halves of the connector together so they
are unlikely to be inadvertently pulled apart.
Charging the Battery and LED Battery Life Indicator
The battery can be charged anytime, regardless of whether the battery is run down completely
or not. When the battery is fully rundown, it will automatically shutoff and the LED display will
not light up.
To charge the battery, ensure the battery switch is in the on position before connecting the
charger and turning the charger on. If the battery requires charge, the orange LED will turn on
and the internal fan will spin. Once charge is complete the LED light will turn green and the fan
will shut off. A flat battery will take on the order of 5 hours to fully charge.
If the charger is turned on when the battery switch is off, or is not connected to the battery, the
charger light will turn green, falsely indicating a full charge. Once green, a charger must be
turned off and on to reset.
Since the battery is charging in the 'on' position, we suggest to make sure your throttle switch is
turned off or your battery disconnected form the system so that your bike doesn't take off on you
while you are charging.
When the battery is connected to your rig and turned on, the LED display will light up. (As
mentioned before, the switch on the LED indicator is not connected.) The LED display lights are
based on the battery voltage. The display is a very basic indication of your battery voltage:
green indicates full voltage, yellow indicates low charge, and red indicates a warning before the
battery automatically turns off. It takes a little while to get a feel for how long the battery will last
for your unique riding route. If you are interested in a much more detailed display to monitor
your battery charge, check out the Cycle Analyst available on www.ebikes.ca.
