Technical Questions
Is your E-bike waterproof? / Can you ride in the rain?
Our E-bike is waterproof IP54, with a certain level of waterproof, it still leaves the device susceptible to damage if faced with jets of water, or temporary or continuous immersion in water. So we recommend that you try to avoid using it in the rain and dry it in time after use.
How do I setup my ebike/escooter?
We believe the assembly of the bike is quite straightforward, and generally takes around 15-25 mins to put it together. Each bike comes with an installation guide which you can refer to, or you can refer to the installation video.
How long does it normally take to recharge?
Charging time depends on the battery capacity. Most of our E-bikes and E-scooters take less than 6 hours to charge, you can check the product manual.
Can I add a child seat?
If your e-bike comes with a rear seat, you can add a child seat.
What is the expected lifespan of the battery?
Much depends on how the battery is maintained. Under healthy conditions, batteries are rated for 800-1000 cycles. This may be reduced depending on the use and storage/care of the battery.
Keep your battery charge level between 30-80% where possible. This will greatly increase the life use of your battery unit. Do not store your battery plugged into a charger. Charging should be monitored and the battery should not be left plugged into the charger.
Do I need to charge my e-bike after receiving it?
Yes, after you have received your bike we recommend that you charge it for 5 hours. Please use the charger provided by HITWAY.
