FULLY CHARGE BATTERIES BEFORE FIRST USE - Batteries should be fully
charged immediately when they are received and immediately after each use for the recommended charge
times (see below).
Li-Ion (Lithium Ion) batteries 4-6 hours•
NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) 4-6 hours•
SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) batteries 6-8 hours•
With proper care and maintenance your Currie Technologies® Hybrid Electric Bicycle will provide ease of use and be fun to ride.
Below are points that will help you to maximize the enjoyment you get from your new hybrid electric bicycle.
FACTORS TO MAXIMIZE THE RANGE OF YOUR HYBRID ELECTRIC BICYCLE
RIDER INPUT• - the more the rider pedals the further the distance traveled. Continuous riding, as opposed to
frequent stopping and starting, will yield the greatest range possible
ELEVATION GAIN• - the flatter the road the further the distance traveled
WEATHER• - cold weather can adversely affect the battery capacity
WIND• - traveling with a tailwind will increase distance traveled, traveling into a headwind will decrease distance
traveled
TERRAIN• - the smoother the terrain (roadways vs. fireroads, etc.) the further the distance traveled
RIDER WEIGHT• - the lighter the rider, resulting in less drain on the batteries, the further distance traveled
BICYCLE MAINTENANCE• - a properly maintained bicycle will yield the greatest range possible
TIRE PRESSURE• - properly inflated tires have less rolling resistance and will be easier to pedal
BATTERIES• - properly charged and maintained batteries will yield the greatest range possible. Batteries stored in
cold areas (below 50 degrees Fahrenheit / 10 degrees Celsius) will show reduced range. Never allow batteries to
freeze (below 32º Fahrenheit) as this will result in permanent damage to them. Batteries that have not been kept in
optimum condition will show reduced range and run time.
