Slide in, slide out
Removing the Kado S’s internal battery is a dream for storage, battery swaps, or off-the-bike charging: just open the battery cover, undo the captive bolt, unclip the battery connector and slide the battery out. To replace, just do the reverse. Simple. Every Kado can also take both 600Wh and 800Wh batteries so if you decide to buy a spare so you can change the stock 600Wh battery out for a larger capacity battery for longer rides – or for racing – you can.
