How do you charge the battery?

The battery charges much like a smartphone does. Plug the Hyena standard charger into an electrical socket and connect it to the plug on the side of the down tube. All five green LEDs on the controller will light up for a short time once the battery is fully charged, then the system will turn off and all LEDs will go dark.

What type of charger does it come with and how long does it take to charge the battery?

The battery will charge in about four hours with the included 2-amp charger.

Can the battery be upgraded to a larger size?

No, the battery is internal and cannot be upgraded. However, we do offer a Hyena Range Extender (Model: 5271536) if you want to double your range.

What if I need to replace the battery or battery cover?

Replacement batteries are available at your local Trek retailer, and many areas offer a battery recycling programme to responsibly dispose of your old battery. Please see the service manual for small part details.

Is the battery water-resistant?

The battery has an IP55 rating, which means that it is sealed from low-pressure water splashes at any angle, but should not be fully submerged in water. You should not use a high-pressure hose or power washer directly on an electric bike. The high pressure can force water into electrical components, connectors or the battery, which can lead to damage.

What is the range?

The approximate range is 35 miles at full charge. However, range is affected by weather conditions, terrain and weight on the bike.

Is it compatible with Range Boost?

Yes, you should only utilize the lowest mount on the downtube to attach the Hyena Range Extender (Model: 5271536) with the 53mm cable (W5255915).
