Which charging cable?
If you do not know which charging cable is right for your e-bike, go for it Charging cable viewfinder
The market is changing very fast, so it happens that your Ebike brand is not listed. No problem, most of the time we still have a suitable charging cable for you!
Panasonic
Is there already a cable for a Panasonic engine?
We have a suitable charging cable for most models with a Panasonic drive / battery! model flyer-1 can be found at: https://bike-energy.com/produkt/flyer-1/
Yamaha
If the Yamaha charging cable does not fit right away, you should slightly backtrack the first time. That should be enough. It is also possible that dust or some dirt have collected at the plug entrance.
The connector has projections on 3 sides and no protrusion on the arrow side. See pictures.
Guarantee
Which guarantee / warranty is there?
Detailed information on warranty for bike-energy charging stations can be found here: Warranty.pdf
Burglar
There is a locking ring on each charging cable through which a lock can be passed. This protects the charging cable from theft.
The battery can remain locked on the bike during charging.
Functionality
There is a data carrier in each charging cable (EEPROM) which provides the charging station with the identification.
The pin assignment of the connectors is also different.
Only when the correct battery is recognized by the charging station (voltage from the battery) is the voltage current switched on for charging.
If the voltage and current of the battery and charging station are not in the specified corridor, the system switches off.
Displays
Display is pressed inwards
It may happen that during transport the charger unit with the display, due to shock, from the anchorage dissolves.
But that is very easy to fix:
Open the charging station on the back (you have to do that for assembly and connection anyway) and snap the charger back into place - see illustration - done
