Routinely check the condition of your eBike before every ride.

☐ 

Nuts, bolts screws & other fasteners: Because manufacturers use a wide variety of fastener 

sizes and shapes made in a variety of materials, often differing by model and component, the 
correct tightening force or torque cannot be generalized. To make sure that the many fasteners 
on your eBike are correctly tightened, refer to the Fastener Torque Specifications in Appendix E 
of this manual or to the torque specifications in the instructions provided by the 
manufacturer of the component in question. Correctly tightening a fastener requires a 
calibrated torque wrench. A professional eBike mechanic with a torque wrench should torque 
the fasteners on you eBike. If you choose to work on your own eBike, you must use a torque 
wrench and the correct tightening torque specifications from the eBike or component 
manufacturer or from your dealer. If you need to make an adjustment at home or in the field, 
we urge you to exercise care, and to have the fasteners you worked on checked by your dealer 
as soon as possible. 
 
Note that there are some components that require special tools and knowledge. In Sections 3 and 4 
we discuss the items that you may be able to adjust yourself. All other adjustments and repairs should 
be done by a qualified eBike mechanic.
