OWNER’S MANUAL ELECTRIC BICYCLE eBike system 25 km/h Australia / New Zealand IT IS IMPORTANT TO READ THE WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL BEFORE RIDING YOUR NEW BICYCLE.
Welcome Welcome to our bicycle family Thank you for purchasing your new bicycle. We believe in bicycles. We make high quality bicycles that are built to last. That is why each bicycle we make comes with a limited lifetime warranty. We wish you many carefree and enjoyable cycling kilometers with your new bicycle! However, if you experience any problems with your bicycle, do not hesitate to contact your local retailer.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage to your battery pack and may require battery pack replacement: • Only charge the battery pack with the included Fazua charger. • When not using the battery pack for a longer period, charge it to approx. 60% (3 to 4 LEDs lit on the charge- control indicator).
Page 6
• The battery pack can be stored at temperatures between -20°C and +60°C. For a long battery pack life, however, storing the battery pack at room temperature of approx. +5 °C to +20°C is of advantage. • Take care that the maximal storage temperature is not exceeded. As an example, do not leave the battery pack in a vehicle in summer and store it out of direct sunlight.
