1. How to Remove the GTX1 Battery

Follow these steps to safely remove the GTX1 battery. The basic process is: turn off the power → remove the seat → disconnect the battery → remove the battery → inspect and clean.

Step 1 Turn Off the GTX1

Use the key to turn off the GTX1 and make sure the vehicle has completely stopped operating. Disconnect the charger if the bike is connected to a power source.

Step 2 Unlock and Remove the Seat

Insert the key and turn it to unlock the seat. After unlocking, push the seat backward first, then pull it diagonally backward to remove it.

Do not force the seat upward. If the seat feels tight, gently move it while pulling backward until it releases from the mounting position.

Step 3 Turn Off the Battery

Locate the red power switch on the battery and turn it off before disconnecting the battery connector.

Step 4 Disconnect the Black Battery Connector

Locate the black, thick battery connector. Hold the connector housing and pull it upward to disconnect it.

If the connector feels tight, gently move it while pulling upward. Do not pull directly on the cable.

Connector Tip: Always grip the plastic connector housing rather than the wire. If it does not separate easily, stop and check its position instead of applying excessive force.

Step 5 Remove the Battery

After disconnecting the battery connector, carefully lift the battery upward and out of the battery compartment.

If the battery feels stuck, gently move or rock it to release it from the mounting position. Do not forcefully pull the battery.

Step 6 Inspect & Clean

Before reinstalling the battery, take a moment to inspect the battery, connector, and battery compartment.

Battery

Check for visible cracks, damage, deformation, burn marks, or other unusual conditions.

Connector

Check for dirt, debris, visible damage, discoloration, or abnormal deformation.

Battery Compartment

Remove dust or debris with a clean, dry cloth before reinstalling the battery.

2. How to Install the GTX1 Battery

Correct battery orientation is important during installation. Follow the steps below to make sure the battery is positioned correctly before reconnecting the power.

Step 1 Check the Battery Orientation

Before lowering the battery into the compartment, confirm its direction.

Correct Battery Orientation:

The battery display faces upward.
The connector port faces the vehicle connector.
The rear of the battery sits against the rear of the battery compartment.
The front of the battery is lowered down evenly.

Step 2 Seat the Battery

Place the rear of the battery against the rear of the battery compartment. Keep the front of the battery level and lower it into position.

If the battery does not settle into place, gently move it until it aligns with the mounting position.

Do not force the battery down. If it does not fit correctly, remove it and check the orientation, mounting area, and battery compartment for obstructions.

Step 3 Connect the Black Battery Connector

Once the battery is fully seated, align the black connector with the battery connection and connect it securely.

Make sure the connector is fully inserted. If it does not fit naturally, check its orientation and inspect the connector for debris.

Step 4 Turn On the Battery

After confirming that the black connector is securely connected, turn on the red battery power switch.

Step 5 Check the Battery Level

Check the battery level display and make sure the battery is showing a normal charge level.

Step 6 Reinstall the Seat

Tilt the seat into position and align it with the mounting points. Once the seat is correctly positioned, use the key to lock it in place.

Gently check the seat to make sure it is securely locked before continuing.

Step 7 Turn On the GTX1

Use the key to turn on the GTX1. Check that the vehicle powers on normally and that the battery level is displayed correctly.
