MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP
Eco-riding
Adopting eco-riding habits every day will help you reduce your energy
consumption while extending the life of the battery, motor and compo-
nents of the DOUZE LT.
Changing gears
Firstly, it is better to change gears than to modify the assistance level of
the motor. When you change gears, do not press down too hard on the
pedals. The greater the effort, the more power delivered by the motor,
which can lead to premature wear of the transmission.
It is also important to cycle at the right pedalling frequency. Pedalling
slowly (less than 60 rpm) puts pressure on the motor.
Conserving the brakes
Anticipation is key. With an e-bike, due to the ease of pedalling, we
tend to under-anticipate when stopping. This makes us brake later and
harder over a shorter distance. As a result, the brake pads wear out
more quickly. Remember to adapt your speed.
