The voltage drops when the battery is low, which may result in weakened
electric power assist. It's recommend that you start charging at 20-40%
charge.

Charging your battery
• The charger is rated for 100–240V. Be sure to check the charger, the
charger cables, and the battery for damage before beginning each
charge.
• Charging takes about 3–4 hours. On rare occasions, it may take longer to
fully charge the battery, particularly when the bike is new or left unused
for a long time.
• Only charge the battery with the supplied charger, as others may cause
damage to the battery or increase the possibility of fire or explosion.
• While the charger is designed to automatically stop charging once the
battery is full, do not leave it plugged in for more than 12 hours.
• Make sure your charger is isolated from liquids, dirt, and debris.
The range on one charge strongly depends on several circumstances, such
as (but notlimited to):
• Weather conditions, such as ambient temperature and wind;
• Road conditions, such as elevation and road surface;
• Bike conditions, such as tire pressure and maintenance level;
• Bike usage, such as acceleration and shifting;
• Rider and luggage weight;
• Amount of charge and discharge cycles;
• Age and condition of battery.
Charger notes
• The charger should only be used indoors in a cool, dry, well-ventilated
area on a flat, stable, hard surface.
• Avoid exposing the charger to liquids, dust, debris, or metallic objects.
Do not cover the charger with anything while in use.
• Store and use the charger in a safe area away from children.
• Charging the battery to full before each use helps to prolong its lifespan
and reduces the risk of over discharge.
• Do not use any charger other than the original charger you received with
your order or a charger designed specifically for the particular bike that
you purchased directly from SHARP.
• This charger is designed for standard household AC power sockets
with 110-240V 50/60 Hz input voltage, and it automatically detects and
calculates the input voltage. Do not attempt to open the charger or
modify the voltage input.
• Do not yank or pull on the charging cable. When unplugging, pull on the
plastic plug to carefully remove the AC/DC cable.
• It is normal for the charger to become moderately warm during
charging. If the charger is too hot to touch, or if you smell an odor
or notice any other signs of overheating, stop using the charger and
contact the SHARP Service Center.
• Keep the indicator facing up when using the charger. Do not invert the
charger, as this can inhibit cooling and shorten its lifespan.
• Only use the original charger provided by SHARP or one designed
for your specific bike model that is approved by SHARP. Do not use
aftermarket chargers, which may cause damage, serious injury, or death.
• Not following the battery charging information listed here may cause
unnecessary damage to the charging components, battery, or charger
and may result in poor battery performance or failure to work properly.
Battery damage incurred this way is not covered by warranty.
Balancing your battery
When you first receive your bike, it is important to follow these steps to
ensure that your battery cells are properly balanced in order to keep them
as efficiently as possible.
1. For the first initial charge upon receiving your bike (or after prolonged
storage time), be sure to charge the battery for at least 4 hours before
riding.

NOTE: We recommend letting the battery charge for at least 4 hours for
the first three charges to ensure that the cells balance properly.
2. After the first three rides, you may begin routine charging procedures.
Checking the electric drive system
0-20%
• Check all cables to ensure that there is no damage.
• Examine the display for cracks and damage. Check if it is firmly in place.

• Check the control unit for cracks and damage. Check if it is firmly in
place.
• Check the rechargeable battery to ensure that there is no damage.
• Check that all plug contacts are correctly in place and reconnect them
if necessary.
• Check the cable and the outer casing to confirm that there is no damage.
• Check the motor to ensure that there is no damage.
Cleaning
• Always turn the battery off and remove the charger from the charge port
and wall socket before cleaning the battery or bicycle.
• Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning the battery or bicycle frame.
If there is dirt in or around the charge port, trying using low air pressure
or a soft brush to remove it. For instructions on how to clean drivetrain
components, please refer to the drivetrain manufacturer's instructions.
• When cleaning, make sure the charge port on the bicycle is fully closed
and no water comes into contact with the electrical components. If wet,
leave the charge port open to dry out completely before connecting
the charger.
• Be careful not to damage or expose electrical components to water.
Do not pressure wash your battery, motor, or any other electrical
components. Damaging electrical components or exposing them to
water may start a fire which can result in serious injury or even death. Do
not use or charge a battery you believe had water seep inside. Likewise,
all connectors, including the charge port, must be completely dry and
clean before using or charging the bicycle.
• Do not use alcohol, solvents, or abrasive cleaners to clean the charger.
Instead, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Surface cleaning the bike ONLY.
