Charging

During charging, the battery capacity indicator lamps light up one by one.

 

(Example: Battery is approximately 50–75 % charged.)

Charging completed

When charging is complete, the charging lamp on the battery charger and the battery capacity indicator lamp on the battery pack go off.

 Battery is in standby mode.

  • The battery internal temperature is too high or too low.

Charging will automatically restart when a temperature is reached that allows charging. (See “Appropriate charging environments”.)

 

 

When possible, always perform charging at the optimal temperature of 59–77 °F (15–25 °C).

Battery is in fault mode.

There is a fault in the charging system. See “Troubleshooting.”

 

 

 

 

TIP
For example, even if normal charging is started, if the battery temperature or the surrounding temperature is too high or too low, the charging may be extended or charging may be stopped without the battery being charged sufficiently in order to protect the battery.

Charging Time Guidelines
Although charging time varies depending on residual battery capacity and external temperature, if the battery has been exhausted, it generally takes approximately 4 hours (500 Wh).
If the battery pack enters standby mode while charging, charging time will increase by an equal amount.

  • If charging after a long period of disuse, the charging time will be lengthened depending on the battery status. However, note that if the battery capacity indicator lamps do not flash in fault pattern (See “Reading the charging status”), there is no malfunction.

Checking The Residual Battery Capacity
You can check the estimate of how much capacity is left in the battery and to what extent it is charged. The check can be performed using either the display unit’s residual battery capacity indicator or the battery’s residual battery capacity indicator lamps.

TIP

  • Even if the battery’s capacity reaches 0 (zero), you can still ride the bicycle as a regular bicycle.

If you are using an old battery pack, the residual battery capacity indicator may suddenly display very little power when you start moving. This is not a malfunction. Once riding stabilizes and the load is reduced, the proper value is displayed.

FAQs

What should I do if the battery indicator light is blinking red?

Low battery level is often indicated by a blinking red battery indicator. As soon as you can, locate a charging station and replenish the battery.

What does it mean when the motor warning light turns on?

The motor warning light may be an indication of a problem with the motor system. Stop riding right away, turn the eBike off, and look up troubleshooting procedures in the user handbook or get in touch with a Yamaha authorized service center.

Why is the brake warning light illuminated even when I’m not using the brakes?

 A brake system issue could be the cause of the brake warning light’s illumination. Check your brake parts for any obvious problems, and if the light stays on, get help from an expert.

What does a flashing headlight indicator signify?

A technician should be consulted if necessary after checking the wiring and connections.

Why is the PAS (Pedal Assist System) light not turning on?

Verify that the pedal assist is properly engaged if the PAS light does not turn on. If it still doesn’t function, there can be a problem with the wiring or PAS sensor.

What should I do if the eBike displays an error code on the screen?

Consult your user manual for a list of problem codes and their accompanying explanations if the eBike displays an error code on the screen. Error codes can be used to diagnose particular eBike problems.

Why is the battery indicator light green but not full after charging?

he battery indication light may turn green before the battery is fully charged, which is why it is not full after charging. This typically means that the battery is partially charged and is normal.

What does it mean if the eBike suddenly loses power and all indicator lights go off?

This could indicate a sudden electrical failure. Check the battery connections and ensure that the main power switch is on. If the issue persists, seek professional assistance.

Why is the temperature warning light on when the eBike hasn’t been used for long?

The temperature warning light might indicate overheating. Allow the eBike to cool down before using it again.

Is it safe to continue riding if the warning lights are flashing intermittently?

It is not advised to ride if the warning lights are flashing, since they indicate potential difficulties that could compromise your safety or the performance of the eBike.

Why does the motor assist cut out when I’m riding uphill?

Uphill riding can place a heavy burden on the motor and battery. If the motor assistance stops, the eBike may have reached its power limits. To assist the motor, reduce the load or pedal more forcefully.

What should I do if the eBike makes unusual clicking sounds and the warning light comes on?

Strange clicking noises could point to a technical problem. When you stop riding, look over the bike for any loose or damaged parts. Consult a specialist if necessary

Why is the battery indicator light flashing rapidly during charging?

Verify the charger’s connection to both the power outlet and the eBike once more. Consult a technician or your manual if the problem continues.

Can I reset the warning and indicator lights myself?

After fixing the underlying problem, certain warning lights may turn off by themselves. However, for instructions on how to reset certain warning lights or error codes, it is best to consult your user handbook.

How often should I check the warning and indicator lights on my eBike?

It’s a good idea to check your eBike’s warning and indicator lights before each ride to make sure it is functioning properly. Your safety can be ensured and problems can be avoided with routine maintenance and inspection.
