How long does the battery take to charge?

A full charge of the 710Wh battery typically takes around 3 to 4 hours. Using a partial charge will not harm the battery's long-term health.

Can I remove the battery for charging?

What is the weight limit for the rear rack?

Does the bike come with pedals?

Typically, high-quality pedals are included, but it's best to confirm with your retailer at the time of purchase.

How do I activate the Turbo System Lock?

The Turbo System Lock is activated via the MasterMind display. Once activated, the motor will require a PIN code for reactivation, deterring theft.

What type of maintenance does an e-bike require?

E-bikes require regular bicycle maintenance (cleaning, lubrication, brake checks) plus specific care for the battery and motor system, such as ensuring software is up-to-date via the app and keeping electrical contacts clean.

Troubleshooting

Motor not providing assistance

Ensure the battery is charged and properly seated. Check that the system is turned on and the speed sensor is correctly positioned. Verify that the Turbo System Lock is deactivated.

Display not turning on

Check the battery charge level. Ensure the battery is securely connected to the bike. Try rebooting the system by turning it off and on again.

Battery not charging

Verify the charger is plugged in and functioning correctly. Ensure the battery is correctly attached to the bike or charger. Clean the battery contacts and charger pins.

Brakes feel weak

Inspect brake pads for wear and clean rotors. If performance does not improve, the hydraulic system may need bleeding; consult a professional mechanic.

Poor shifting performance

Ensure the derailleur cable is not damaged and that the derailleur is properly aligned. Clean and lubricate the chain and cassette. If issues persist, the derailleur may require adjustment.
