Precautions about Use

Compliance with Traffic Laws and Traffic Safety Tips

• Do not refit the electric bicycle without permission; with maximum load of 150kg, the electric bicycle must not be overloaded
• Do not lend the electric bicycle to people who cannot drive it to avoid injury
• The electric bicycle should carry personnel or articles according to laws and regulations
• The driver must wear a helmet and be cautious when driving an electric bicycle and must not hold the handlebar by no or one hand
• Slow down during rainy and snowy weather as brake distance will extend. Then during stormy and severe weather try not to ride the electric bicyle
• When waiting for the traffic light for a long time, please adjust to gear 0, or hold the brake instead of stepping on the pedal to starting the electric bicycle

Preparation for Riding

• Check whether the power circuit and the light are normal;
• Check whether the front and rear brakes work normally;
• Check whether the handlebars and front and rear wheels are tightened;
• Whether the tire pressure is normal; (see the tire label)
• Check whether the reflector is damaged or polluted before driving;

Safety Precautions about Electric Bicycle

• Do not park an electric bicycle in the lobby, escape stair, passage and emergency exit of buildings
• Do not charge and park the electric bicycle in a residential building, keep far away from combustibles in the charging process and do not charge the electric bicycle for a long time
• Correctly use and maintain the batteries. Waste batteries should not be dismantled arbitrarily and should be recycled by related departments
• Understand safe use methods and warning signs of charger
• The charger should match the battery
• To avoid an accident potential caused by wetting of internal electronic parts and circuits, do not wash an electric bicycle with water
• When adjusting the handlebar or the saddle, safety signs of handlebar pipe and saddle pipe should not be exposed (if applicable)

Battery

Precautions about Use of Lithium Battery

• Confirm the battery model if it’s original. Do not use batteries of other brands without permission
• Check whether the lithium battery is intact and has damage, leakage, heat emission, moisture, smoke and other obvious phenomena
• To ensure transportation safety, the battery quantity is about 30% upon delivery. Due to power consumption during transportation and storage, it is normal that the battery quantity is low or the battery has run out of power when used for the first time.
• Please charge the battery for 24h when it is used for the first time after purchased or stored for a long time

Operating Environment

• The optimal operating temperature is 10℃-45℃
• The battery capacity may decrease in varying degrees at low temperature as follows The available capacity is about 70% at -10℃, about 85% at 0℃ and about 100% at 25℃; if the battery gives out peculiar smell, emits heat, deforms and has other abnormal conditions, please immediately stop using it, keep far away from it and contact the after-sales service department

Warning

Battery is not a repairable part. In case of abnormalities, the battery may emit heat, give out smoke and cause a fire and explosion.

Charging Environment

• Charge the battery using original charger instead of charger of other brands or models
• Please charge the battery at 0℃ -40℃ in a well-ventilated place and keep off combustibles
• Charging time: Do not charge the battery for more than 12h; otherwise, the battery life will be affected and a potential safety hazard will be caused
• The battery capacity will rise quickly in the early charging process and then slow down, which is a normal procedure to ensure safety
• Do not charge the battery outdoors in severe weather
• If the surface temperature of the battery box is very high (higher than 55℃) in the charging process, it indicates that the battery box breaks down and should be immediately powered off and sent to the designated repair station. It is normal that the charger box is slightly hot (no more than 60℃) in the charging process

Storage Environment

• After the battery is installed, the battery capacity will be slowly consumed when the electric bicycle runs. The fully charged battery can be placed for no more than two months and it is normal that the instrument displays a drop of battery capacity
• When the battery is left unused for a long time (more than a month), please be sure to remove it from the electric bicycle and charge the battery to half-saturated state (after fully discharged, charge the battery for 1.5-2h using charger). Then, store the battery in a cool and dry place (the  optimal temperature is 5℃-25℃) and charge it for about 3h every two months
• The battery and the charger should be stored in clean, dry and well-ventilated place and far away from corrosive substances, ignition and heat sources (no less than 2m) and combustibles and they should be disconnected
• The optimal battery capacity is 50%. If the battery is stored for a long time when the capacity is lower than 10% or higher than 90%, the capacity will decrease irreversibly
• Do not store the battery in a high place, since drop may cause uncontrollable internal damage, leakage, heat, smoke, fire or explosion to battery
• The electric vehicle and battery should be protected from rain, ice, snow and chemical substance when used and stored and must not be washed with water to avoid an accident potential caused by wetting of internal electronic parts and circuits

Technical Parameters
