Recommendations for E-Bike Guidelines
All e-batteries and e-bikes must not be parked and or stored in front of an exit door.
Always keep e-batteries at room temperature and avoid heat (above 105F) and cold (below 32F).
Smoke/Fire detectors should be in an area where e-batteries and e-bikes are parked or stored.
Fire extinguisher specifically rated for an electrical fire must be near where the e-batteries and e-bikes are parked or stored.
Used only approved UL batteries (some batteries have counterfeit UL labels - make sure there are no words misspelled)
It is suggested that e-bikes with removable e-batteries are purchased as the charging of these batteries can be more closely monitored.
Always plug directly into the wall outlet for charging.
Follow the manufacture’s instruction for charging and storage.
Use only the correctly paired cord and power adapter which is specifically designed for the e-battery which has an auto shutoff feature once the e-battery is sufficiently charged.
DO NOT keep charging the e-battery after it is fully charged.
DO NOT use after market (generic) e-batteries and or power cord charging systems.
