What is the charging time for the battery?

Are the wheels tubeless ready?
Whilst we install inner tubes at the factory, the rims and tyres can be converted to be run without tubes. We recommend using a branded tubeless conversion system and seeking the assistance of a cycle mechanic to perform the change.
