THE BATTERY




01 LED indicator. This shows the charge level (and errors – see the separate battery instructions booklet for details).

02 Power button. This shows the charge level of the battery indicator when pressed and turns the battery on/off when held down. If the battery is not used for 24 hours or more, it will turn itself off and will need to be turned on again using this button, before you can turn the e-system on using the display. The battery does not need to be routinely turned off by the user.

03 Charge port. When the battery is installed in the bike, remove the charge port cap on the top tube to reveal the charge port. Plug the charger in here to charge the battery. The charger cable arrow should face towards the front of the e-bike.

04 Power and communication port. This is where the battery connects to the motor controller to power the bike. When charging outside of the e-bike, make sure that the charger cable arrow is on facing towards the power and communication port.
