A discharged battery takes approximately 4 hours to fully charge with the included charger for models One and Distance. Zipforce Slim’s battery takes about 2,5 hours to fully charge.

Be aware to only use Zipforce original charger 4A 25.2V to charge your Zipforce, or another charger supplied by Zipforce AB intended for this product. The charger is connected to the Zipforce before it is connected to the wall outlet. The charger is equipped with an LED that lights green when the battery is fully charged and red when charging. The red charging light on the charger lights up when it is connected to the wall outlet. Carrying out a full charge of the battery takes about 4 hours, provided that the battery is completely discharged. It is normal for the charger to get warm. Never place anything on or near the charger or Zipforce, so that the heat cannot be vented away. Do not charge near flammable materials. After charging is complete, the charger must be disconnected. Avoid leaving charging unattended. Do not charge in freezing temperatures or high temperatures. Contact Zipforce if you suspect damage to the battery or if the device has been exposed to external influences.

Zipforce can be mounted on most bikes, but some models may require a little more modification than others. The bracket/mount is designed to fit as many bicycles as possible. If you are unsure – feel free to send a picture of your bike to [email protected] and we can look at it and help you.

Zipforce is a separate portable electric bike motor, and not a complete electric bike.

Zipforce is water resistant and can withstand rain well. Zipforce has undergone extensive tests and is CE marked according to the electric bicycle directive 2017 which applies within the EU. This means that Zipforce meets the same water endurance requirements as all electric bikes.

Your Zipforce has a two-year warranty for EU market, and a 30-day right of free return

Zipforce can be mounted on the rear wheel. In that case, remember switching to “Reverse Mode” in the app. Mounting on the front wheel is more common because the package holder and fender are often in the way of a rear wheel mounting.
