Always protect components of the braking system
before any lubrication procedure, so as not to clog
them. Brake pads clogged with lubricant have to be
changed immediately by taking care to degrease the
disc beforehand.
Never lubricate the steering cables, which would
have the result of binding in impurities and making
its functioning defective.
Storing the battery
Your battery should neither remain completely discharged nor com-
pletely charged over a prolonged storage period. If it is completely
discharged, do not wait more than 24 hours before recharging it.
If you do not foresee using your cargo bike for a prolonged period,
it is important to observe a certain number of recommendations to
conserve it:
• your battery must not be charged to 100%, when the cells could be
damaged, an ideal charging level being between 50% and 70%;
• choose a storage site in a temperate place, cool and sheltered from
frost, the ideal storage temperature being 10 degrees;
• regularly check the battery capacity has not fallen too much and re-
charge, if that is the case.
Battery management
It is recommended at least once a year to bring its battery to your Retailer
or your DOUZE Cycles Technical Centre, in order to carry out diagnostics,
updates and potentially a recharging cycle to rebalance the cells again.
If your battery has suffered a violent jolt or fall and appears damaged,
do not try to charge it, instead contact your Retailer or DOUZE Cycles
Technical Centre.
