Washing and cleaning
your bike
When cleaning your bike - electric or non-electric -
do not
use a jet wash or high pressure
hose to clean the bike, e2-pod, battery, motor, bottom bracket or rear hub (indicated
by fig.2) as this will force water inside of it removing the grease and/or damaging any
electronics, causing premature failure. You should hand wash only with a suitable bike
cleaner or warm soapy water and a damp cloth.
Whilst the e²-pod Intelligent Drive System has been designed for use in all weathers, the
electrical components of the bicycle such as the motor, bottom bracket, battery and the
e²-pod must not be submerged in water.
Battery and charger
See the accompanying Bosch battery and charger manuals for recommendations on
cleaning.
The charger must be unplugged from the mains outlet socket before cleaning.
Bike frame and components
The battery should be removed before cleaning the bike frame and its components.
After cleaning allow all components to dry off completely before attempting to fit the
battery to the bike.
