WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE
Warranty
To keep the warranty on your Babboe cargo bike, it is important to get your bike serviced
within the first 4-12 weeks or after 100 km of heavy use to check if the main components
(including gears, spokes and brakes) are all working effectively. This can be done at your
local bike shop or Babboe dealer.
Maintenance
Even though the electric Babboe cargo bike contains high-quality components, it is very
important to keep it well maintained. Lubricate moving parts on a regular basis and
ensure that the cables remain flexible, for example, during cold spells of frost. At the
back of this manual is a maintenance overview. Keep the receipts for the warranty for
the maintenance and inspection.
Maintenance of the wooden cargo box
The box is resistant to the Dutch climate. However, we still recommend that you always
use a rain cover, rain tent or cargo bike cover. This will protect the box against the
various weather conditions. It will also, for example, protect the cargo bike against
damage from children climbing in and out of the box. Damage to the paint makes
the wood more vulnerable to moisture. If damage occurs, treat it with a clear coating
of varnish suitable for outdoor use. This will prevent moisture from penetrating into
the wood.
Cleaning
To make your Babboe cargo bike look new again, you can clean it by firstly brushing
it with a soft brush to remove the dirt and then washing it with warm water. Regular
cleaning of the Babboe cargo bike promotes longevity. Beware of excessive use of water
around the electronics and battery. Make sure the area between the sensor plate in the
sensor (by the bottom bracket) is not dirty. When cleaning the cargo bike it is advisable
to remove the battery. Never use a high-pressure cleaner! Many parts of the Babboe
cargo bike require oil, grease or vaseline. Do not wash these substances away or apply
them again immediately after washing.
