Keep in mind that the charger can be warm during charging. Place the charger on a surface that can withstand heat. Do not cover the charger so it can cool down. Do not place inflammable or explosive goods in the vicinity of the charger to prevent danger. Store the charger and battery on a safe place out of reach from children. Do not expose the charger and battery in direct sunlight. Store the battery and charger on a cool place. 1. The supplied charger operates with 110/230V. The E-bike has 1 battery connection point (1) located at the bottom of the battery (charging features: 36V and 1.8AH) Place the battery on the charger and connect the switch-plug to the power socket to charge. Charging time depends on battery capacity: 11.6 AH: Approx. 6/7 Hours The battery has 1 USB connection point (2) on the side. 1 2 TIP: First place the battery on the charger before connecting to the power socket. Batteries are made of Lithium, they can be recharged after every use. The charger stop charging when the battery is fully charged. You can disconnect the charger. Keep the battery dry and frost-free. When you are not planning to use the battery for a longer period, store the battery separate from the E-Bike fully charged. It is advisable to fully deplete the battery the first 3 times and after every 100 charge cycles and do a full charge. The distance (maximum range) of one battery depends on weather/road conditions, weight of the driver, tire tension, power setting, frequent braking/accelerating and battery condition.

General information about the E-Bike: 1. The E-Bike is mechanically the same as a normal bike. All moving parts, like cables, brakes, gear and axes can be maintained by using silicon or telfonspray. Check on a regular basis if all bolts and screws are secured. Important points are front and back wheel, luggage rack and steering. Tip: Spray chain and gear after a wet parcours, the chain needs the most lubrication. You can clean the chain with a cleaning kit, available at any bike shop. Tire size is 28 inch, available at any bike shop. Caution with moist, store the bike in a dry environment. Sensitive parts are the display unit and the controller. Rusting parts can be treated with telfonspray. Keep the bike clean and dry to limit corrosion. 2. For gear adjustments you can contact our service line or your local bike technician. Many information about Shimano gears is available on the internet. 3. Keep the tires on tension. This improves driving experience and range. We recommend a tire pressure between 3.5-4.0 Bar. 4. Brakes may need to be adjusted after a while. This can easily be done on the brake levers on the steering wheel. For safety reasons, consult a bike technician for gear and brakes adjustments on the wheel side. Important notice: Shinga is authorized to recycle waste batteries and to recycle them safely.
