WARNING:
A wheel attachment device, including a quick-release, not correctly adjusted and
closed can move independently and catch in spokes or a brake rotor. In addition, the wheel may
become loose or come off, suddenly stop the wheel, decrease your control, and cause you to
fall. Make sure your wheel is correctly installed and firmly attached before you ride your eBike.
CHECK THE WHEELS
1. Check rims and spokes for damage. Give the wheel a spin. It should spin straight through
the fork (front) and chainstays (rear).
2. Check that the axles are fully seated in the dropouts.
3. Lift your eBike and hit the top of the tire with a solid blow. The wheel should not come off,
be loose, or move from side to side.
4. If your wheel is equipped with a quick-release, make sure the lever is properly closed and
positioned (in-line with the chain stay or front fork) and does not interfere with the spokes
or disc brake system as the wheel rotates.
WARNING:
Securely clamping the wheel with a quick release system takes considerable force.
If the wheel is not properly secured, the wheel can become loose or fall off causing serious
injury. The nut should be tightened enough that you need to wrap your fingers around the fork
to close the lever.
CHECK THE TIRES
Use a tire pump with a gauge to make sure your tires
are inflated within the recommended pressure range.
Do not exceed the pressure limit as stated on the side
of the tire or rim; whichever is lowest.
NOTE: It is better to use a hand or foot pump than a
service station pump or electric compressor. The latter
are more likely to allow for over-inflation, which can
cause the tire to blow out.
CHECK THE BRAKES
1. While standing still, make sure you can apply
full braking force without the brake lever
touching the handlebar. (If the lever touches,
your brakes may need adjustment.)
2. Check that the front wheel brake is working
properly. Ride the eBike at slow speed and
apply the front wheel brake. The eBike should
come to an immediate stop. Repeat the
process with the rear wheel brake.
WARNING:
Brake force applied to the front wheel
suddenly or too fully could lift the rear wheel off
the ground. This could decrease your control
and cause you to fall. For best results, apply both
brakes at the same time.
CHECK THE CHAIN
1. Make sure your chain has the correct tension
so that it can’t fall off. If you’re unsure of the
correct tension, see your bike shop.
2. Check that the chain has no kinks, rust, broken
pins, plates, or rollers.
CHECK THE CABLES
Make sure all cables and housings are properly
secured to the frame or fork so that they cannot
interfere with or get caught on moving parts.
CHECK REFLECTORS, LIGHTS, & ACCESSORIES
1. Make sure your reflectors, lights and any
other accessories are securely attached,
properly positioned, and working properly.
2. Position your lights parallel to the ground.
Make sure your batteries are charged.
CHECK YOUR BATTERY AND CONTROLLER
Check that your battery is locked in the dock and
fully charged, and your controller and eBike system
are functioning properly.
CHECK YOUR SUSPENSION
Adjust your suspension for your use, and make
sure that no suspension component can “bottom
out” or be fully compressed.
CHECK YOUR PEDALS
1. Make sure your pedals and shoes are clean and
free of debris that could affect your grip or
interfere with the pedal system.
2. Grab your pedals and crank arm and wiggle to
see if there’s any looseness. Also spin the
pedals to make sure they rotate freely.
