HOW TO CHARGE THE BATTERY
Step 1:
Ensure that the charging port is clean and dry. Make sure that there is no dust, debris or dirt inside the charging port.
Step 2:
Plug the charger into the wall, then connect the cable with the power supply (100V ~ 240V; 50, 60 Hz), make sure the light
on the charger is lit GREEN.
Step 3:
Connect the charging cable into the charging port of the E-Bike. The indicator light on the charger should change to RED,
indicating that your E-Bike is now being charged. When the RED indicator light on your charger turns to GREEN, then your
E-Bike is fully charged. A full charge typically occurs within 2-3 hours.
Step 4:
Please unplug the charger from your E-Bike and from the power outlet.
Charge the rechargeable battery completely again if possible after every ride. This type of rechargeable battery does not suffer any memory
effect. For the charging times of your E-Bike, see the technical data. You can charge the rechargeable battery in or outside of the E-Bike.
• WARNING
Use only the enclosed charger to charge the rechargeable battery!
• DANGER
Observe the instructions from the charger's label, since wrong operation is possible.
• WARNING
The charger must only be used for the rechargeable battery of the E-bike. Only use the charger to charge rechargeable batteries
and no rechargeable batteries from other manufacturers.
• DANGER
The charger is only intended for indoor operation and must only be connected to a 230 VAC/50 Hz-power supply.
• WARNING
Never touch the charger and the plug with wet hands!
• WARNING
Ensure that there are no conductive objects (e.g. metal) near the charging plug and the rechargeable battery contacts!
• WARNING
Do not use the charger during high dust development, excess solar radiation (heat development!), thunderstorm or high humidity.
• WARNING
Ensure that the room is sufficiently ventilated when charging.
• CAUTION
If the charging time is clearly above the time according to the technical data, interrupt charging and contact customer service.
• CAUTION
Disconnect the charger from the power supply once charging is completed.
• CAUTION
Never open or repair the charger. Replace it if defective. Contact customer service!
• CAUTION
The charger is not intended for being used by persons with limited physical, sensory or mental capacities or lack of experience and/or
lack of knowledge. The only exception is when such persons are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or if they have
been instructed in the use of the charger by such a person. The charger must generally be kept away from children.
•
If you are not going to use your E-Bike for more than 2 months,
please make sure to store it at a dry place, to protect the electronic
components.
•
For the battery we recommend to fully charge it before storing
the E-Bike.
•
The rechargeable battery must be stored in a dry and cool, frost-free
room. Danger of short circuit and fire!
•
Switch off the drive system for repairs, maintenance and care work
and remove the rechargeable battery.
•
The screws and nuts installed on the E-Bike must be checked for
tight fit at regular intervals (but at least every 3 months) and may
need to be tightened or re-tightened to the proper strength.
Only this can ensure that the E-bike permanently complies with
the safety-technical requirements and works properly. This does not
include the adjustment screws at the gearshift and brake components.
•
Perform the repair, maintenance and setting work only if you have
enough specialist knowledge and the corresponding tools. This
specifically applies to work on the brakes. Wrong or insufficient
repair, maintenance and setting work may cause damage to the
E-Bike, malfunctions and therefore accidents.
•
The E-Bike or the individual parts are exposed to partially high
stress during the duration of use, accidents or improper treatment.
Any kind of cracks, scratches and colour changes may indicate
that the respective part may suddenly fail. This specifically applies
to bent or damaged safety-relevant parts, such as the frame, fork,
handlebar, stem, saddle, seat post, all brake components (specifically
brake lever & brake linings), lights, foot pedal, wheels, tyres and
tubes. Never repair such defective parts, but replace them with
genuine spare parts without delay.
• Use only genuine spare parts for exchange of parts, since they
are specifically coordinated with the E-bike and can ensure proper
function. This specifically applies to safety-relevant parts, such as
the frame, fork, handlebar, stem, saddle, seat post, all brake compo-
nents (specifically brake lever & brake linings), lights, foot pedal,
wheels, tyres and tubes. If you use any third-party parts for exchange,
this may lead to damage and failure of safety-relevant parts.
•
The E-Bike requires regular inspection, maintenance and servicing.
Only this can ensure that it permanently complies with the safety-
technical requirements and works properly.
