Congratulations, you are a proud owner of Velev electric bikes with eco-friendly with has zero air and noise pollution. In a petrol bike, there are so many mating components like gears, clutches and engines. So the wear and tear causes the noise and vibration. In our electric bikes, there are no such parts and it runs very smoothly without any air and noise pollution. Electric energy from the batteries is fed to the motor through a sine wave controller that gets its inputs from the throttle and the braking systems. Hence there is no noise and air pollution and also no vibrations.

Battery

Ampere-hour = A fuel tank!

Yes, the more ampere-hours you have, the more range you will get with your electric bike.

The lead acid battery should take 8-10 hours for complete charge. For lithium ion battery it will take 3-4 hours for full charge. The batteries should be recharged every 3 days even if vehicle is not used. To maximize the battery life, please refer this page for battery charging tips.

Battery maintenance tips:

• The ignition switch must be in OFF position when your bike is being charged.

• The charger supplies you is only for charging the battery. Do not use it for other purpose.

• The battery charger is only for INDOOR purposes.

• Don’t try to open the charger. It may leads to fire accident.

• Keep the charger out of children and pets.

• Don’t use damaged components, such as power cords, damaged wires etc. It may leads to electric shock.

Health tips for battery and charger

Battery health tips :

•Heat kills the
battery. Avoid immediate charging after long drive. Try charging in the night.

•Very frequent
charging reduces life. Try to discharge almost totally and then charge fully.

•Battery lose charge
even when not used. Charge the batteries once fortnight even not used.

•Insert the ignition key without turning the throttle.

•Sit on the bike and turn the key to ON position and check the battery indication and the battery is charged.

•Slowly twist the throttle to get the bike moving.

•Make sure that the vehicle should not be over loaded.

• Avoid going through deep pools of water. Dry your brakes by lightly applying them repeatedly.

• Drive a vehicle in your controlled speed to avoid skidding and accidents.
• Avoid abrupt acceleration and brakes, this will reduce your mileage.

• While driving be caution on other drivers.

• Do not take sharp turns while driving. Reduce the speed while turning.

• While going in steep slope, avoid acceleration.

• When it is raining or on wet roads, be more cautious while braking.

• Do not use or leave your vehicle at waterlogged areas.

• Follow traffic rules and sign boards.

After ride Do’s and Don’ts

• After ride, turn off ignition lock and remove the keys out.

• Put bike on stand on flat ground, avoid irregular surface.

• If bike needs charging, put the bike for charging.

Important

It is safer to comfortably seated on your bike before turning ON the power. If the power is turned ON, it could result in the bike moving forward before you are ready and could cause injury.

Remember that there is power cut of switch is embedded into both the brake levers. When you apply the brakes, power to the motor will turn OFF. So do not hold the brake levers when you want the motor to run.

Tyre Pressure: An under inflated tyre can cause premature tyre failure, and will require more energy to propel your vehicle. Low tyre pressure significantly reduce the range of the bike.
