rag fo Batt

Running distance on one charge variesdepending on riders weight, wind resistance,outdoor temperature, terrain, etc. Riders canexpect to get up to 2 hours of battery life innormal at conditions.

Thigs ou ca o to icaspfoac:

Pop ga usag : Pedaling in the correctgear for the terrain will help save energy forboth you and the battery.

Tis : Always make sure the tires are at thecorrect pressure as indicated on the side-wall. This will give lower rolling resistance

and better performance. If your tires start toshow excessive wear, replace them. Newtires always perform better!

Ga maitac : Keeping the bicyclecorrectly adjusted and lubricated is impor-tant. Worn or misaligned parts can add dragand resistance which will reduce the rangeof the battery

Awas stat i eco o noa o:Getting going always requires more energythan anything else. Avoid using Turbo modeto start or restart because this uses a lot ofbattery and will shorten the range.

Coct chag a ischag oubatt: Please follow all of the direction forcharging and discharging. Once a batteryhas been mistreated, you cant x it.

Coct sto ou Batt : Once again,please follow all of the directions for storage.

Awas tu off th uit at th coto :Never just remove the battery to turn it off

Tpatu : Both extreme high and lowtemperatures can drain the battery morequickly. So when it is really cold or hot, dont

expect to go as far or as long.

Wi : As with any cycling wind has a hugeeffect on performance. Any headwind willreduce the battery range. Strong headwindscan be worse than even the steepest hill forperformance. Conversely, a good tailwindwill allow you to travel much further thannormal.

His : Like wind, hills play in important partin battery range. Going uphill for any length

of time will reduce the range. Down hill thebattery range will increase because the mo-tor doesnt have to work as hard. Also, trycoasting (stop pedaling) or for longer downhills you can even turn the unit off to helpincrease range.

roa Coitios: Flat smooth roads willallow the bike to roll faster and the batteryto last longer. Ridging on dirt, gravel, gravel,sand, and grassy surface will greatly effectbattery life. So will bumpy or and rough

surface.Stop a Stat : Since more energy is usedduring initial acceleration, riding in condi-tions that force you to start and stop often(i.e. city trafc) will cause the motor to usemore energy.

nub of Batt Chags : Each time thebatter is charged, it will loose its capacity tohold as much charge next time. These loss-es are very small during the life expectancyof the battery, but they will affect range to adegree.

luggag : Luggage is weight that needs to

be moved and this means the motor worksharder so range will decrease when youcarry luggage.

ri Wight : A heaver rider will cause themotor to use more energy than with a lighterrider.

Batt Tips a Appoxiat lif

The Dahon Boost is equipped with a lithium-

ion battery. If used and maintained properlyit should last approximately 500 chargingcycles. The battery should be replaced whenthe riding distance with a full charge becomesnotably short (in cold areas, the possible ridingdistance may be short even after charging).Please contact your dealer to purchase areplacement battery or to obtain warrantyservice if covered under the limited warranty.

So oth was to kp ou batti goo coitio icu:

When the unit is not used for a long time,charge the battery once a year. After

13


14/28

charging, use the battery until one redindicating lamp for the remaining batterycharge is lit, and then store the batteryagain.

It is recommended to store the batteryin a cool location (- 20C to 20Crecommended).

When the charging has been completed,immediately disconnect the charging plug.

Do not recharge a battery immediately afterit has completed a charge. The batterywill not charge twice, and will likely bedamaged if you do so.

Use and drain the battery as much aspossible before charging.

Batt rccig

At the end of a useful life, lithium-ion batteriesare recyclable. Laws governing proper disposaland recycling of batteries vary according tolocality. Please consult your dealer for adviceabout disposal or recycling according to yourlocal law. The battery or recycled must bedisposed of properly.

Your Dahon Boost incorporates a state ofthe art electric assist unit and some prettyclever electronics. For performance, safety,

and enjoyment is important to completelyunderstand how these features operate. Evenexperienced cyclists should make sure theyare familiar with the specic operations of theBoost. Make sure you read, and understandthis part of the manual. If you do have anyquestions or are at all unclear, please contactyour Authorized Dahon Dealer.

Boost Tchoog

Boost technology provides a smooth andpowerful power-assisted ride based on yourpedaling force, speed, and gearing. Thesystem automatically knows how much power.Once you turn the unit on, all you have to dois start pedaling the system does the rest.Through the controller unit, you can thenchoose the level of assist you require based onthe conditions.

Coto Uit

Located on the left-hand side of the handlebar,

the controller looks like this:

1. On-Off Buttons2. Battery Level Indicator3. Boost Level Indicator4. Boost Level Button5. Front Light On-Off Button6. Front Light Indicator Lamp

How it all works

14


15/28

1. O-Off Buttos

Gently press the ON button to activate theunit. The Battery level lights will ash forseveral seconds before becoming xed atthe current battery charge level.

The unit will start in the Normal mode, so

both the left and middle Boost level indicatorlamps should also come on.

NOTE: Always keep your feet off the pedalswhen setting the control-switch to ON.

The Chainwheel has a built-in sensor todetect the force with which the pedal ispressed. It is important that the no load is onthe pedals when you rst turn the unit on forcorrect operation.

To switch off the unit gently press the OFF

button. This will turn the unit off and alllamps on the controller should go out.

2. Batt lv Iicato

3. Boost mo Iicato

The Boost mode or power level is shown bythree blue lamps. You can choose the boostlevel by using the Boost Level Button. You canchoose between three Boost settings:

eCO mo : (Indicated by single left handlamp being lit)

The most economical of the three BoostModes. The Eco mode will provide assis-tance up to 15kmh, but at lower power levelthan the Normal or Boost modes. The levelof assistance gradual decreases as you ap-proach 15 kmh. Good for using on the at orwhen you want to conserve battery charge.

15


16/28

noa mo : (Indicated by both the left-hand and middle lamps being lit)

The Normal mode will also provide assis-tance up to 15kmh, but at a slightly higherassist ration than the ECO mode. As withthe Eco Mode, the level of assistance

gradual decreases as you approach 15 kmhGood for at or rolling hills, or when you ndyou need a bit more power.

Boost mo : (Indicated by all three lampsbeing lit)

The Boost mode gives you maximum powerand speed. Assistance starts as soon asyou put pressure on the pedals and contin-ues through to 25kmh. Assistance gradually

decreases as you approach 25kmh. TheBoost Mode is great for getting up hills, or ifyou have to go a short distance in a hurry.

4. Boost mo Butto

The Boost level button is used to switch be-tween the three available Boost settings. Eachtime you press the button it will change in thefollowing order:

Normal > Boost > Eco > Normal

5 & 6. Fot light Fuctio

The Boost uses an integrated LED frontheadlamp that is operated at the controller.The headlamp is turned on or off by press-ing the light button (5). When the Front light isswitched on, the headlamp indicator lamp (6)will glow yellow.

nOTe: The Boost is also tted with an inde-pendent rear light. This light is operated via aseparate on/off switch and is not connected tothe battery. For your safety please remember toturn on and off the rear light.

16


17/28

Ga Opatio

When you rst turn on the unit, make surethere is no pressure on the pedals. Pres-sure or movement of the pedals affects thetorque setting and can cause the unit tofunction incorrectly.

The Boost operates according to the forceapplied to the pedals. If there is no force onthe pedals for ve minutes after the ON but-ton has been pressed, the unit will turn offto save battery charge.

Do not ride through deep puddles or heavyrain. If the assist unit is exposed to lots ofwater or submerged, electric shock mayoccur.

Always park the bicycle on a level surface.

Never lift the bicycle by the battery.

Usig th Hub Gas

Your Boost is tted with a 3-speed internalgeared rear hub. For general use and useof the bicycle without the Assist unit active,operation of these gears can be found in thestandard Dahon Owners Manual.

nOTe: Your Boost determines your overallspeed based on how fast you are pedaling.All cut-off and assist level speeds are basedon using the bicycle in the third (high) gear atthe hub. Assistance cut-off speeds are greatlyreduced when in the rst and second gears.This is normal and allows usability for a varietyof riding styles and levels.

riig without Assistac

The Boost has been designed as a lightweightfolding bike. With the assist unit turned off itcan be ridden as a normal bicycle.

Chcks bfo riigHere are some things to check before youstart riding:

Make sure the battery is installed correctly.

Make sure to remove the battery lock key.

Make sure the battery has sufcient charge.

Perform all checks in the bicycle ownersmanual.
