1 Descriptions

1.1 Safety warnings before use

• Read the instruction manual carefully and make sure you understand it properly.
• Check your bicycle before using it for loose and/or damaged parts. Loose or damaged parts must be secured properly and/or replaced.
• The luggage carrier is not suitable for use as a child's seat.

• Scratches, cracks or discolorations may occur in parts that experience serious stress. This means that the end of their economic lifespan has been reached and that they must be replaced.
  The Batavus E-go® is exclusively intended for:

• cycling on asphalted/paved roads and paths;

• recreation and transport.

The construction of the Batavus E-go® may never be changed.
- Safety warnings for recharging the battery are given in paragraph 2.2.1.

2 Battery and recharger

2.1 Battery pack

The Batavus E-go® lock-secured battery can be recharged both on and off the bike. There follows a description of how to remove and insert the battery.

2.1.1 Removing the battery pack

• Insert the key (A) provided in the lock of the battery pack (B) and turn 180^ .
• Ensure that the cover (C) of the recharging plug is closed.

• Unclick the handle (D) on the back.

• Carefully pull the battery pack (B) out of the luggage carrier.
• Always remove the battery pack with two hands to avoid dropping the battery pack.
• Remove the battery pack from the luggage carrier when you transport the bike by car.

2.1.2 Inserting the battery pack

• Carefully slide the battery pack (A) into the luggage carrier. Take care with the contact points of the battery pack and those of the docking station (B).

• Push the handle (C) on the back downwards and click it into place.

• Lock the battery with the key (A). This locks the battery into place and prevents theft.

2.2 Recharging the battery

2.2.1Warnings before use

the warnings below carefully. Batavus is not liable for accidents or faults caused by improper use of (parts of) the E-bike.

• Only use the recharger that is supplied with the Batavus E-go®. Using other battery rechargers causes the guarantee to lapse and may seriously damage the battery and electrical system.
• Only use the recharger in dry places.
• Do not connect the recharger with wet hands.
• Do not recharge the bicycle in full sun.
• Do not touch the recharger during thunderstorms.
• Ensure good ventilation during recharging.
• Immediately stop recharging if you hear unusual sounds or detect leakage.
• Do not take the battery apart. The battery pack is sealed. The guarantee will lapse if the seal is broken.
• Batteries may not be intentionally heated or damaged. Otherwise the batteries can break open releasing poisonous chemicals.
• Do not dip the battery pack in water or another fluid.
• Keep the battery pack away from children.
• Do not connect the recharger to the mains when not in use.
• Never open or damage the motor.

2.2.2 Recharging

1. Check whether the recharger is suitable for the local voltage that your power company supplies.
2. Connect the recharger A to the mains (F).
3. Connect the plug [B] on the recharger to the contact point of the battery pack (C).

The indicator light (E) will come on.

1. A full recharge takes about five hours. Recharging stops automatically after the battery pack has been fully recharged.
2. Disconnect the battery pack within 12 hours after it has recharged.
3. Remove the recharger cable and remove the plug from the mains socket.

2.2.3 The recharger and battery protection

• Recharge the battery pack once fully until the indicator light turns green before using the bicycle for the first time.
• Do not allow a fully recharged battery pack to stay in the recharger for more than 12 hours.
• The battery pack does not need to be entirely empty before recharging. The battery pack is kept in good condition by recharging it after each time you use the bicycle (irrespective of the distance).
• In the case of lengthy storage: fully recharge the battery pack and disconnect the battery pack from the charger within 12 hours. Recharge the battery pack at least once every two months.
• Ensure that the recharging of the battery pack occurs within the temperature limits (between 0^ and 45^ ). This extends the life and increases the performance of the battery pack.

Every battery runs down over time. This process is called 'self-discharge'. So-called deep discharge occurs when the battery discharges too much. Deep discharge can permanently damage the battery pack.

The guarantee lapses if it is determined that deep discharge has occurred.

2.2.4 Recommendations for maintenance and storage

• Keep the battery in a cool dry place.
  Always keep the battery in a room that is adequately ventilated. Avoid contact with sunlight.
• Fully recharge the battery at least every two months. This conserves the quality of the battery if stored for a lengthy period.

Do not clean the bicycle with a high-pressure spraying pistol. A too powerful jet of water may damage the motor's electronics. This will make the guarantee null and void.

3 Handlebar control

3.1 Handlebar control unit

3.1.1 Buttons and indicators

A Peddling assistance on/off
B Assistance level adjustment
C Charge level display
D Assistance level display

3.1.2 Turning the system on

You can turn the assistance on and off by keeping button 'A' depressed. You can do this at any time, also while cycling.

Press button 'A' for 1 second to turn on, and 3 seconds to turn off. The E-bike switches off automatically if it is not used for more than 10 minutes.

3.1.3 Setting the assistance

The system has five support levels that are indicated by five LEDs (D).

You can set the degree of assistance using the Power mode + and - buttons (B). You can change the assistance level at any moment, even while you are cycling. The assistance level is as standard set at the third level.

3.1.4 The charge level

The charge level (C) of the battery pack is indicated on the handlebar control unit using five LED lights. The clearest indication of the charge level is displayed if the throttle is not in use and the assistance level is set to the lowest setting.

The charge level (B) can also be read off from the rear of the battery pack by pressing button A.

You can see the % charge of your battery from the number of illuminated LEDs and their colour.

Number of LEDs		Charge level
Battery pack Display
4x green 5 80 -	100%
3x green 4 60 -	80%
2x green 3 40 -	60%
1x green 2 20 -	40%
1x red 1 0 - 20%

3.1.5 Adjusting the handlebar control unit

The handlebar control unit (B) can be adjusted both left and right by using the screw assembly (A). The handlebar control unit is as standard set to the middle position.

3.2 Throttle

The throttle (A) is to the left of the handlebar control unit. The throttle can be used after the peddling assistance has been turned on.

You can accelerate by rotating the throttle away from you.

Turn the throttle slowly when first using it to get used to the power that the throttle provides.

The throttle offers extra assistance and can be used in the following ways:

- Extra assistance when you're walking alongside the bicycle

When walking up a hill with the bicycle the throttle can provide you with extra assistance.

This means that you do not have to bear the full weight of the bicycle on the hill yourself.

- Extra assistance when pulling away

You can use the throttle when pulling away. Without pedalling, the throttle can assist up to a speed of 6 km/hour. To get assistance above this you must peddle yourself.

- Extra assistance during cycling

The throttle can give peddling assistance an extra impulse during cycling. This may be useful when overtaking or riding up a hill. The impulse is most discernible at a low peddling assistance level.

3.3 Handbrakes

The handbrakes (A) are provided with a safety function. When you operate the handbrakes, the drive automatically disengages.

4 Range

4.1 Range indication table

The range of your bicycle is 30 - 70km . Factors that adversely affect the range are named in paragraph 4.2.

The range noticeably declines as the battery ages.
