Do not charge the battery when the ambient temperature is less than 32°F (0°C) or greater than 104°F (40°C). Do not discard or destroy the battery. For more battery information, refer to the sticker on the battery itself, located on the bottom of the miniPRO. Refer to your local laws and regulations regarding battery recycling and/or disposal. A well maintained battery can perform well even after many miles of riding. Charge the battery after each ride and avoid draining the battery completely. When used at room temperature (70°F [22°C]) the battery range and performance is at its best; whereas using it at temperatures below 32°F (0°C) can decrease range and performance. Typically, at -4°F (-20°C) range can be half that of the same battery at 70°F (22°C). Battery range will recover when temperature rises. More details are available in the App. NOTE Typically, a fully charged battery should retain charge for 120-180 days in Standby Mode. A low-power battery should retain charge for 30-60 days in Standby Mode. Remember to charge the battery after each use. Completely draining the battery may cause permanent damage to the battery. Electronics inside the battery record the charge-discharge condition of the battery; damage caused by over-discharge or under-discharge will not be covered by the Limited Warranty. WARNING Do not attempt to disassemble the battery. Doing so risks electric shock and/or damage to the vehicle. WARNING We strongly recommend against riding when the ambient temperature is below 23°F (-5°C) because low temperature will limit the maximum power/torque. Doing so could cause personal injury or property damage due to slips or falls. 12 Maintenance Cleaning and Storing Your miniPRO Use a soft, wet cloth to wipe the mainframe clean. Hard to remove dirt can be scrubbed with a toothbrush and toothpaste, then cleaned with a soft, wet cloth. Scratches on plastic parts can be polished with extra fine grit abrasive paper. NOTE Do not wash your miniPRO with alcohol, gasoline, acetone, or other corrosive/volatile solvents. These substances may damage the appearance and internal structure of your miniPRO. Do not wash your miniPRO with a power washer or high pressure hose. WARNING Make sure the miniPRO is powered OFF, the charging cable is unplugged, and the rubber cap on the charge port is tightly sealed before cleaning; otherwise you may expose yourself to electric shock or damage the electronic components. Store your miniPRO in a cool, dry place. Do not store it outdoors for extended periods of time. Exposure to sunlight and temperature extremes (both hot and cold) will accelerate the aging process of the plastic components and may reduce battery life. Tire Pressure Inflate tires to 45–50 psi. Inflate both tires equally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_store_batteries (and most posters here) the battery should be charged to around 40% (1) and not be stored at "elevated temperatures" (>30 degrees celcius) And also http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries is interesting. if you do not need the full range of your mini pro you can noticable increase the battery lifetime by charging just up to 80%. But i'd assume riding the mini at lower charges does not make too much fun... for the batteries it would be about optimal to keep the charge while normal usage below 80% and something above 15-30% (depends of what the app/gauge really shows - especially at lower percentage its not the remaing battery capacity...) so also fully charging just before riding will prolong the lifetime. (Shorten the time the battery gets stressed by full charge!) ps.: from time to time the cells in the battery pack need to be balanced (happens for EUCs once the charger shows the green light) for ~one/?some? hours. I assume charging/BMS with the mini works quite the same? edit: (1) one should check the battery charge from time to time, since due to self discharge the charge level could drop too low (especially with older batteries) and charge them again to about 40%.

mihaib32nfs Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Tire Pressure Inflate tires to 45–50 psi. Inflate both tires equally. On the tires,they said 30psi maxim inflate and 70kg!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preparing for weather changes and less riding in the cold. ➰ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icom Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Ideally, you want to fully charge it just before you want to go out. This way you get the most power at the start, and once you are done with your trip, the minipro won't be sitting there with a full charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
