Recharging time will vary depending on remaining energy in the battery. Recharging
time is as follows:
500Wh Battery
Time to charge from 0-80% = 1:40
Time to charge from 80-100% = 1:40
Total charge time from 0-100% = 3:20

Storage

To store your Powerplay bike, keep it in a secure place that is not exposed to
extreme temperatures (above 65 °C (149 °F), or below -30 °C (-22 °F)), excessive sun
exposure, humidity, or condensation. If you believe that the bike has been stored in
the conditions listed above, please cease usage and contact your authorized Rocky
Mountain retailer.
Storing a fully depleted battery for a prolonged period will cause damage and diminish
its capacity. It is recommended to recharge your battery to at least 75% capacity
whenever possible, to avoid damage from deep discharge over prolonged periods.
If you store your bike for periods of 3 months or longer, you will need to periodically
recharge it, to maintain its capacity. Recharge your battery at least once every
3 months. Failure to do so may cause damage to the battery, and a loss of its capacity.
A good way to manage storage recharging is to set calendar reminders in your
computer or mobile device.
The best practice to maintain the optimum battery capacity over time is to store the
bike at temperatures between 10 °C (50 °F) and 25 °C (77 °F).

Battery functionality

The battery will function in cold weather, though at a diminished capacity. Expect
80% of full capacity at 0 °C (32 °F), and 50% of full capacity at - 10 °C (14 °F). It is
recommended to warm up a cold bike prior to use.
If the battery reaches 65 °C (149 °F), it will shut itself down for protection until it
reaches 60 °C (140 °F).
When the remaining battery capacity is low, the Powerplay drive will progressively
reduce power output to maximize its range.
Please note that lithium-ion batteries gradually lose capacity depending on age and
use. A dramatic decrease in capacity after recharging may be a sign that the battery
is reaching the end of its lifespan and must be replaced. Please visit your authorized
Rocky Mountain retailer for battery replacement. Under normal use, you can expect:
500Wh Battery 632Wh Battery
Will operate at 70% of full capacity Will operate at 75% of full capacity
after 300 full charging cycles after 500 full charging cycles
(0% to 100% charge). (0% to 100% charge).
Thank you for your assistance in properly caring for the components of your
Powerplay bike, and for reaching out to your authorized Rocky Mountain retailer in the
event of any potential damage or for battery servicing. We appreciate your support
and hope that you enjoy your riding experience!
