Battery life
This power-assisted bicycle is fitted with a high quality Li-ion battery.
Li-ion batteries do not have a charge memory and have a wide
temperature tolerance ranging from -10 to 40°C.
To ensure maximum battery life and protect it from damage, please
follow the use and care instructions below.
Once your battery is charged, it is recommended that you leave it for
20 to 30 minutes before use.
Your battery life depends on several usage factors:
•
the assistance mode selected
•
the weight of the rider
•
the elevation of the road
•
the tyre inflation
•
the wind
•
the pedalling effort provided
•
setting off and the frequency of stops
•
the outside temperature.
