Cleaning and servicing
The brake system is not designed for use on a
pedelec which is placed on its side or turned
upside down. The brake may not function
correctly as a result. This can cause a crash,
which may result in injuries.
If the pedelec is placed on its side or turned
upside down, apply the brakes a couple of times
before setting off to ensure that they work as
normal.
Servicing measures must be performed regularly.
Contact your specialist dealer if you are unsure.

Notice
Water may enter the inside of the bearings if you
use a steam jet. This dilutes the lubricant inside,
the friction increases and, as a result, the
bearings are permanently damaged in the long
term.
Never clean the pedelec with a pressure
washer.
Greased parts, such as the seat post, the
handlebars or the stem, may no longer be safely
and reliably clamped.
Never apply grease or oil to clamping sections.
