BATTERY
Our battery are sealed well enough for the bikes to be safely ridden in light rain.
However, it is not recommended to ride them through very heavy downpours, or through flooded streets when the crank and/or the motor can get splashed or even covered with water. It is best to take shelter until the rain eases and the roads are no longer covered with water.
All POWERGRID EBikes and Scooters come standard with an upgraded 3 amp charger, thus allowing you faster recharging time
Yes, the battery can be removed and recharged.
Some tips to preserve your battery life:
- Store and charge your battery in a dry, cool space. The less humidity the better.
- DON"T overcharge. If your going to be storing your bike charge it then store it at 75%-80% charge level.
- It is a good idea to deplete your battery down then recharge it completely.
- Don't leave your bike in the trunk of a hot car with battery attached.
- It's fine to ride most e-bikes in the rain. You should dry the contacts on the battery to prevent corrosion and oxidizing. Electrical contact cleaner can be used to keep that connection clean if needed. In extreme weather (for example, in a community where roads are salted in winter) you can apply battery terminal grease as a preventative.
Lithium-Ion ebike batteries use a similar technology to your laptop or mobile phone. Our batteries have the highest charge cycles in the industry, over a 1,000 compared to other brands 500 - 80.
One full charge cycle is from 0% battery capacity to 100% battery capacity. If your battery is at 50% battery capacity and you charge to 100%, that only counts as 1/2 a charge cycle.
It is okay to charge the battery between rides, even if you only drained very little battery energy
