Battery life
Batteries can suffer from ageing in their performance after a large number of
charges. This will depend on the patterns of use for your power-assisted
bicycle.
You must dispose of your used batteries at your local store or specialised
recycling depot. Most importantly, do not throw your end-of-life battery into
the environment.
Battery maintenance
To ensure maximum battery life and protect it from damage, please follow the use and care
instructions below:
When you notice that the charge drops to 10%, the battery needs to be charged quickly.
RECOMMENDATION: If the bicycle is not used frequently for a certain period of time,
it must be fully recharged every month. The battery case must be stored in a dry,
protected place, at a temperature between 5 and 35°C.
