PW-X E-BIKE SYSTEMS The e-Bike Systems are designed to give you the optimal amount of power assist. It assists you within a standard range based on factors such as your pedaling strength, bicycle speed, and current gear. The e-Bike Systems do not assist in the following situations: • When the display unit’s power is off. • When you are moving 25 km/h or faster. • When you are not pedaling and the pushing assist switch is released. • When there is no residual battery capacity.
PW-X E-BIKE SYSTEMS Multiple power assist modes are available. Choose from Extra Power mode, High-Performance mode, Standard mode, Eco mode, +Eco mode and Off mode to suit your riding conditions. See “Displaying and switching the assist mode” for information on switching between assist modes. Extra Power mode * This illustration is for reference purposes only. Actual performance may vary depending on road conditions, wind, and other factors. Use when climbing rough terrain.
PW-X E-BIKE SYSTEMS Conditions that could decrease remaining assist distance The remaining assist distance will decrease when riding in the following conditions: • Frequent starts and stops • Numerous steep inclines • Poor road surface conditions • When carrying heavy loads • When riding together with children • Riding into a strong head wind • Low air temperature • Worn-out battery pack • When using the headlight (applies only to models equipped with lights powered by the battery pack) • Remaining assist d
SAFETY INFORMATION Never use this battery charger to charge other electrical appliances. Do not use any other charger or charging method to recharge the special batteries. Using any other charger could result in fire, explosion, or damage the batteries.
SAFETY INFORMATION Do not use if the battery pack case is damaged, cracked, or if you smell any unusual odors. Leaking battery fluid can cause serious injury. Do not short the contacts of the battery pack. Doing so could cause the battery pack to become hot or catch fire, resulting in serious injury or property damage. Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack. Doing so could cause the battery pack to become hot or catch fire, resulting in serious injury or property damage.
SAFETY INFORMATION Do not use the wireless function with Bluetooth low energy technology in areas such as hospitals or medical institutions where use of electronic equipment or wireless equipment is prohibited. Otherwise, this could affect the medical equipment, etc. and cause an accident. When using the wireless function with Bluetooth low energy technology, keep the display at a safe distance from heart pacemakers in use. Otherwise, the radio waves could affect the heart pacemaker function.

BATTERY PACK AND CHARGING PROCEDURE Battery charger lamp Charger display Charging plug Power plug Battery capacity indicator Charging connector Battery capacity indicator lamp The battery pack equipped for the Yamaha e-Bike Systems is a lithium-ion battery. The lithium-ion battery is lightweight and offers superior capacity. However, it does have the following characteristics. • Its performance decreases in extremely hot or cold environments. • It naturally loses its charge.
BATTERY PACK AND CHARGING PROCEDURE Appropriate charging environments For safe and efficient charging, use the battery charger in a location that is: • Flat and stable (when on the bicycle) • Free of rain or moisture • Out of direct sunlight • Well-ventilated and dry • Not accessible to children or pets • Temperature between 15–25 °C Inappropriate charging environments and solutions.
BATTERY PACK AND CHARGING PROCEDURE WARNING If a charging fault occurs during charging, remove the power plug of the battery charger from the socket and wait for the battery pack/battery charger to cool. [CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK MOUNTED ON THE BICYCLE] 1. Connect the power plug of the battery charger to a household power outlet. 2. Remove the cap of charging inlet from the charging connector on the battery pack, and connect it to the charging plug on the battery charger.
BATTERY PACK AND CHARGING PROCEDURE TIP • Charging will start automatically. • If the display unit is turned on while the battery pack is charging, all normal displays will be shown, including the battery capacity indicator, but the assist system will not function. • When the battery pack is connected to the battery charger, battery charger lamp will flash at approximately 0.2 second intervals to indicate that charging is preparing to charge the battery pack.
BATTERY PACK AND CHARGING PROCEDURE Lock-release ring Top of the case Battery bottom 6. See “Reading the charging status”, and check that the battery charger is charging the battery pack. 7. The battery capacity display lamps will light up one by one until all four are on. Then, when charging is complete, all of the lamps will go off. 8. Confirm that charging is complete, and then disconnect the charging plug from the battery pack.
BATTERY PACK AND CHARGING PROCEDURE 11. Make sure that it is securely attached by pulling the battery after installation. NOTICE Make sure there is no foreign matter on the battery pack contacts before inserting the battery pack.
BATTERY PACK AND CHARGING PROCEDURE Reading the charging status Battery charger lamp Battery capacity indicator lamps Current status Lit power lamps indicate the amount of charging completed. A flashing power lamp indicates current progress. Details Charging During charging, the battery capacity indicator lamps light up one by one. 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 PACK AND CHARGING PROCEDURE 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.
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.
CHECKING THE RESIDUAL BATTERY CAPACITY Display of the battery capacity indicator lamps and the estimate of the residual battery capacity When checking the residual battery capacity, push the battery capacity indicator button “ Display of the battery capacity indicator lamps Estimate of the residual battery capacity ”. Applicable situation 100–76 % 75–51 % From full charge (100 %), the battery capacity indicator lamps turn off, one by one.
PRE-OPERATION CHECK WARNING Be sure to perform the inspection before riding the bicycle. If there is anything you do not understand or find difficult, please consult a bicycle dealer. NOTICE • If you confirm there is a fault, have your bicycle inspected at a dealer as soon as possible. • The power assist mechanism consists of precision parts. Do not disassemble it. Along with performing the regular inspection before riding the bicycle, also perform the following inspections. No.
CLEANING, MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE NOTICE Do not use high-pressure washers or steam jet cleaners since they can cause water seepage, resulting in property damage or malfunction of the Drive Unit or display unit or battery pack. Should water get inside one of these units, have an authorized dealer inspect your bicycle. Caring for the battery pack Use a moist, tightly-wrung towel to wipe off dirt on the battery case. Do not pour water directly on the battery pack, such as with a hose.
CLEANING, MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE Long storage period (1 month or longer) and using it again after a long storage period • When storing the bicycle for a long period (1 month or longer), remove the battery pack and store it using the following procedure. • Decrease the residual battery capacity to where one or two lamps are lit, and store it indoors in a cool (10 to 20 °C), dry place.
TRANSPORT The batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements. When being transported by third parties (e.g. via air transport or forwarding agency), special requirements on packaging and labels must be observed. To prepare the item for shipping, consult a hazardous materials expert. The customer can transport the batteries by road without further requirements. Do not transport damaged batteries.
