KEEP IT CLEAN
Clean your eBike with water or mild detergent and a non-abrasive sponge if your eBike is very dirty. Never
spray your eBike using high pressure, and never spray directly onto bearing points or electrical parts.
Never use harsh chemicals or alcohol wipes to clean your eBike.
PART REPLACEMENT
If you need to replace any eBike parts (worn brake pads, for example, or broken parts from an accident),
visit your bike shop or the Accessories page of www.bakcou.com. Use only genuine replacement parts. If
you use anything other than genuine replacement parts you may compromise the safety or performance
of your eBike.
Your safety depends on the correct maintenance of your eBike. After any repair or accessory installation,
check your eBike as shown in the Before Every Ride section on page 13 of this manual.
PARKING, STORING, AND TRANSPORTING YOUR EBIKE
Prevent theft! Do not park your eBike unless you secure it to a fixed object with a bike lock that resists bolt
cutters and saws. Lock the battery in place and remove the controller, if necessary. When using a bike rack
ensure that the rack is rated to carry the increased weight of an eBike.
MAINTENANCE
Technological advances have made eBikes and eBike parts more complex, and the pace of innovation is
increasing. It’s impossible for this manual to provide all the information required to properly repair and/or
maintain every eBike. To help minimize the chances of an accident and possible injury, it’s critical that
you have your bike shop perform any repair or maintenance not specifically described in this manual.
Many variables, from your riding style to geographic location, will determine your maintenance
requirements. The longer you neglect maintenance, the more it becomes critical. Your bike shop can
help you decide your maintenance requirements. After initial use, new eBikes should be checked.
As an example, cables stretch through use, and this can affect the operation of shifting or braking.
Approximately two months after you purchase your new eBike, have your bike shop fully check it. Have
your bike shop fully service your eBike each year even if you did not ride your eBike much. Before each
ride, perform an inspection as outlined in the Before Every Ride section. If a part malfunctions, check
and service it immediately, or consult your bike shop. If a part has wear or damage, replace it before you
ride your eBike again.

Follow these safeguards to keep your eBike in good shape for the long haul.
