E-bikes open new horizons for comfortable and environmentally friendly transportation, but to get the most out of them, it is important to use and maintain them correctly. Below are guidelines for e-bike operation and battery care that will ensure longevity and safety.
General recommendations for the operation of electric bicycles
1. Moderate use of power: Optimum use of energy will help extend battery life. Avoid continuous use of maximum power, especially for long distances, so as not to accelerate battery drain.
2. Avoid overloading: Overloading the engine can cause it to overheat, which will shorten its service life. Try not to use the bike at maximum settings for a long time, especially when crossing difficult terrain.
3. Caution on difficult terrain: When driving on difficult terrain, reduce the use of maximum power. This will help reduce the load on the bike and provide greater safety.
4. Avoid full battery discharge: Regular charging of the battery helps to avoid its complete discharge, which has a positive effect on its durability and performance.
5. Protection against moisture: Remember that the electrical components, including the motor-wheel, are not protected from water. If you plan to use the bike in wet conditions, consider installing additional moisture protection.
6. Proper washing: When washing, avoid using water pressure on the motor-wheel and other electrical components. For cleaning, use a soft cloth or sponge to avoid damage to sensitive parts.
7. Safety during care: Before cleaning or servicing, turn off the power and remove the battery. Do not use an open flame to dry the bike after washing to avoid damaging the components.
Following these recommendations will help you enjoy a smooth and safe ride on your e-bike, keeping it in excellent condition for years to come, and you can always turn to VELOMOTOR and we will help you with components or new bikes.
Battery care and recommendations for use
Recommendations for battery operation
1. Initial charge: A new battery must be fully charged before first use. This will help activate the battery and ensure its optimal performance.
2. Avoiding deep discharge: To preserve the performance of the battery, try not to let it discharge below 10%. This will help avoid deterioration of its characteristics and increase its service life.
3. Battery storage: For long-term storage, keep the charge level within 50-60%. Avoid storage at low charge (below 20%) or high charge (above 80%) to help prevent battery degradation.
4. Temperature restrictions: Avoid using Li-ion batteries in extreme temperature conditions. These can be both very low (below -20°C) and very high (+40°C) temperatures. Also, do not charge the battery at negative temperatures.
5. Adaptation to Temperature: If the battery has been stored or used in cold conditions, allow it to warm up indoors for 1-2 hours before charging. This will help avoid possible damage.
6. Charging the Battery: Use only the charger and follow the charging instructions. To prevent overcharging, do not leave the battery in the charger after it is fully charged.
7. Caution and Safety: Avoid mechanical damage, exposure to fire, direct sunlight and moisture. Store the battery in a safe place, avoiding short circuit.
Safety tips
1. Pay attention to the warning signs: Any unusual noises, reduced power, or rapid battery drain may indicate problems. Carefully monitor the operation of your device.
2. Checking electrical connections: Regularly check the condition of the connections and wires for damage or corrosion. This will help to avoid possible accidents.
3. Use of original spare parts: If it is necessary to replace spare parts or accessories, use only original components recommended by the manufacturer.
Following these guidelines will help you enjoy the longevity and reliability of your e-bike and battery, and ensure your rides are safe.
