Thanks! Answered! Can you take the battery out to charge or is it fixed on the bike?

Hi, yes the battery can easily be removed for charging away from the bike or you can charge the battery without removing it from the bike.

It looks like you can take it off the bike and charge it if you want. It is held in place on the bottom base and then two small bolts up the battery pack. The base is behind the petals and has a power cord that goes to the hub motor on the rear wheel. I myself would like to know how to buy/replace the battery pack. Does anybody know? It is a well built bike. It augments hill climes well.

Yes it is removable. You need twofold the seat forward first. It then pulls straight up and out.

You can't take out the battery. It is not replaceable. Mine stopped charging after 7 months. NOT HAPPY!

I have not found a repair shop that can fix the bike's electric motor or associated components. However any bike shop can fix everything else. I have had flat tires front and rear repaired. On another brand of electric bike the local shop fixed the front stem that froze up. I have had two of these bikes which I mistreat badly by riding them on salt water beaches, Sandy trails, and carrying them around in snow storms on a 4 bike rack. It is easy to brake wires while transporting them. When the electrical components break I buy parts on line at electricscooterparts.com They have a nice diagram for a controller similar to the one used on this bike. It is a brushless 250w motor. I really like the bike for its power, long life LIPo battery, finish, adjustable handlebars, and low rolling friction as compared to other bikes. Just do not expect much help from the seller. This is why the price is low.

It is inside one of the battery compartments, the one with a notch for the wire to come through on my Gold Gym 370R bike. I don' t know if it is in the same place for your model.

Comes with a wall charger; charge connects to bike after charged unplug and connect to battery.

If the battery gets wet ive heard of problems and having to let it dry out. A fender is a must. This bike is awesome though and a workaround is always possible a bag of some sort. I would advise getting a bigger battery with this bike to increase the distance. I have a 16 amp battery that goes nearly 40 miles per charge. Awesome bike all in all

Ours did the same thing! Battery was good and grandson rode it for about 10 minutes. The motor that runs the bike is defective . This is why I gave the product a bad review. It is not worth the cost as it is poorly engineered.

I've had mine for three years now and store my bike in an unheated garage through Michigan winters. I've never needed to charge it, starts my 09 street glide first try every time in the spring! I checked last spring with volt meter and still had 13.4 volts.

That's what I do...I run off the lithium battery until if gets low, then flip the switch over to the lead acid battery. I did have to change out the terminal, because my bike came with the bladed terminals and the lithum battery fits in with the buttoned terminal, but it was a cheap and easy fix.

I bought one for my youngest grandson 2 years ago. I didn't have any problem with the battery charging but power cord did have a connection issue in the other power connector. Also the actual bike broke in half my grandson was only 2 and was under the weight limit as he was only 22 lbs at that age. You're right its a dud!!

there is a piece that fastens to your handlebars, and hte light slide son and off that. ti is easy to remove to take inside and charge. but you leave the clamp on the handlebars.

on top of the batteries there is what looks like a flip up handle - if you flip it up you will see the inlet for the plug, you just plug in the charger and align the pins and plug it in. When fully charged do the other battery.. I bought a second charger so I can charge both at once. But I don't think I would invest that much again. I have a broken bike in my garage. Have had to replace the back rim which is not cheap and the new rim broke within a few weeks -- if you can sell it do so - they are not built with strong enough back rim and spokes

That is a good question. I've never let my battery go completely discharged. I try to start up my bike at least once a month during the winter. All that said, from a 75% charge to maint mode takes about an hour or so and from 95% about 20 minutes. I have little confidence in the %age numbers anyway, as other reviewers have reported large variations with little or no logical explanation. Hope this helps.

My first Cyclamatic bike was defective right out of the box, and they simply replaced it, paid for shipping and everything. As far as I can tell, they supply no repair service or replacement parts. I wanted a second battery but they were never able to supply one. Now my bike is out of warrantee and the battery needs repair or replacement. I found a battery online for $500 - too much for me to spend on a bike I paid six hundred dollars for (plus a hundred dollars shipping). If anyone knows of anybody who repairs these bikes, please let me know.

It has accumulated battery inside. You can charge it with micro usb cord. I think the battery can't be replaced.

I keep mine in my room. China has alot of new battery packs that are very light weight compared to lead. The motor doesn't do so well with the regenerative brake connected and the pedal assist switch isn't that great either. If I could find a 36V 8-12ah battery pack with the charger included, I wouldn't care where it was manufactured, I'd pay an extra $100 and wait a month for delivery. Also, you may want to consider using a bike with disc brakes.

No, there is no plug for any aspect of this bike, but I've had mine for awhile and used it plenty and haven't had to change the batteries.
