User Tips - Babboe Max-E Manuel D'utilisation

TIP
Remove the battery key from the battery lock after inserting or disconnecting the battery to ensure the key is less
likely to be lost. For example, keep the battery key attached to your bike key. After locking the battery, keep both
keys with you and you can never forget the battery key. Always keep spare keys on a separate key ring.
IMPORTANT! PLEASE NOTE:
• Batteries slowly empty, even if the bike is not used. Therefore remove the battery from your Babboe cargo bike
and keep it at home when the cargo bike is not in use.
• Storing and charging the battery should always be done in a (fire) safe place.
• Do not expose the battery to high temperatures (> 50 °C), such as heating and fire.
• Do not take the battery apart. Consult the service department at Babboe if you have a problem. Place the
battery in a shady, cool and dry place for long-term storage.
Charging the battery
To charge your battery you will need the following items:
1. Adapter and cord (for the power socket)
2. COP1 adapter (connected to the battery while charging)
COP1-adapter
If you wish to charge the battery at home, you'll need to use the COP1 adapter (Cell Optimiser). Connect the COP1
adapter to the separate battery. The adapter not only indicates whether your battery has been fully charged, but also
optimises the battery cells. When this process has begun a yellow LED light will start flashing. When the battery is fully
optimised the LED light will stop flashing. You can simply interrupt the process if necessary. The optimisation will then
continue the next time.
If you have connected the battery to the power supply, you can check the progress of the charging process on the
charging component. If the battery is installed in your bicycle, you can check the capacity on the handlebar display.
IMPORTANT! PLEASE NOTE:
• Charging the battery should always be done in a safe place and not near anything flammable.
• Never connect the positive terminal of the battery to the negative terminal.
• Make sure the battery is fully charged at least once every 3 months (but do not charge longer than 48 hours).
When the battery is not used for a long time it could become irreparably damaged.
• Charge the battery immediately when the battery is completely empty. Cells that are empty for a long time may
be damaged irreparably.
• Only use the charger supplied and use the battery/charger only for your Babboe cargo bike.
• Do not insert objects into the charger. Also make sure the charger, the battery and electronics are not exposed
to too much heat, water or other liquids.
• Use your charger only in a dry and well-ventilated place.
• The charger is not resistant to moisture and/or should not be dropped.

USER TIPS

Cycling
Cycling on a three-wheel cargo bike takes some getting used to, since the steering motion is different from a
regular bike. The handlebar is fixed to the box and you actually steer from left to right and vice versa with the box.
Always remain quietly seated in an upright position, even when turning corners. In very sharp turns you can let
go of the outside handlebar to prevent hanging to one side. Keep this hand in the vicinity of the brakes, so you can
brake immediately if necessary. For more information please refer to our website.
(Parking) brake
The left brake operates the front wheels. The parking brake is located in the left brake lever. To engage the
parking brake, pull the brake lever and turn the small black lever. The lever is now locked and the cargo bike is in
the parking brake position. The right brake operates the rear wheel.
Adjustable handlebar
It is possible to adjust the height and the angle of the handlebar. Loosen the handlebar stem and place the
handlebar in the desired position. Be careful not to pull the handlebar out too far. Pay attention to the marked indent
on the handlebar stem that determines the maximum allowable position. When the handlebar is in the correct
position, tighten the handlebar stem.
Tire and spoke tension
In order to continue cycling in a light and comfortable way, the tire pressure should remain the same. This means a
pressure of 3.5-4 bar. The harder the tires, the more comfortable and lighter it is to cycle. Check the tension of the
spokes regularly. When they are 'loose', get them tightened at an approved bicycle shop or at your Babboe dealer.
Lighting
The electric Babboe Max has both front and rear lighting. The electric Babboe Max is equipped with front and
rear lights which can be operated via the display.
Accessories
There are several fun and functional accessories available for the electric Babboe Max. For example, to keep
your children safe we have the Maxi-Cosi carrier, baby seat, toddler chair and various cushion sets. We also
have a rain tent to protect your children from the rain. To make it more cheerful, we also have specially designed
stickers. Babboe is continuously looking to expand its range with new and exciting accessories, so make sure you
check the new range in the shop regularly.
