On the bottom the bike frame their should be s# plate. If you need to replace the battery you need to: first remove the foot pedals,then side panels.

A 6v @ 2.5Ah battery should be in the frame
they sold run about $20.00 to $27.00 plus S/H

In an automobile the current throu the alternator "idiot light" DOES THIS AUTOMATICALLY.but for your lifecycle I don't know how they do that unless the alternator uses permanent magnets.
