Zippi Ride battery replacement

Lithium batteries lose capacity over time — usually after a few hundred charge cycles, you'll notice shorter ride times. Replacement is straightforward, but lithium batteries deserve respect — work clean, work calm, and follow the steps.

What this guide covers

  • Identifying when a battery needs replacing
  • Safely powering down the bike
  • Disconnecting the old battery
  • Fitting the replacement
  • First charge of the new battery
  • How to dispose of the old battery responsibly

What you'll need

  • A replacement battery for the Zippi Ride 10" — order from spares and accessories
  • Allen keys (included with your original bike)
  • About 10 minutes

Safety notes

Never short the battery terminals. Don't drop the battery — even a small dent in the casing can cause issues. If the old battery is swollen, damaged, or has been involved in any kind of impact, contact us before handling it. Old batteries should go to a proper battery recycling drop-off — most Australian council depots accept them.
