Allowing charging cycle

Can you skip step 3 & just activate the run switch?
charging outdoors? Guess that eliminates living room storage in a climate controlled space for battery longevity!

Don’t ride during a lightning storm!!

“raise rear wheel into position”

So the swingarm & rear brake caliper don’t have a lip

similar to KTM’s that require the wheel lift & slid into place?

Anyone have to replace that 9v battery in the motor controller yet?

Sadly no. You can skip step 4 if you leave the run switch ON though.

Correct.

Gear oil replacement specs
every 40 hrs

This is incorrect and will be fixed. Oil change every 100 hours is plenty. We recommend Lucas Oil 75W90.

It is now down to 30 minutes. If you use a funnel big enough (like the one we provide dealers), you can let the bike pump without watching.

The 9V we specified is located in the ACM and should have enough energy for 10 years. That being said we have seen some failures where the 9V gets drained prematurely. If that happens, you will see a warning message on the display.

I rarely touch that run switch. It usually stays ON on my bikes. It does not kill all the power. Only the key does.

So instead of one oil change per year it will be one every 2-3 years. NICE!!!

@Bionicman -- What is MoM? Is it a typo or a new acronym that everyone should be aware of?

I do not like subliminal messages. I have mother issues.

My suggestion with an electric bike is to always always switch to off when you are off the bike, or even when on the bike, but on a break.

No engine sound or clutch to modulate the power, so the throttle can be accidently twisted. Make it a habbit.
