Maintenance
This manual has not been designed to be a maintenance or repair guide. Please refer to
your DOUZE Cycles Retailer or a DOUZE Cycles Technical Centre in order to carry out such
work. Your DOUZE Cycles Technical Centre will also be able to advise you on the use of
DOUZE Cycles’ products and provide you with all the necessary information on
maintenance and repairs to your V2 cargo bike.
Cleaning and lubrication
We advise you to clean your V2 regularly, above all if in daily use. Dust and all those
particles present on the road are very abrasive and could prematurely wear out the
components of your cargo bike. This is particularly applicable to mechanical, moving parts.
The entire frame can be cleaned with soapy water and a soft cloth, then rinsed with clear
water. Brake discs must be cleaned with a suitable product, to maintain optimal braking
under all circumstances. The transmission components must be cleaned by means of a
brush and a suitable product, then lubricated, while ensuring the brake components are
protected. The locking mechanisms of the padlocks and the Hard Top must be lubricated
regularly by means of a suitable product, so that key insertion and functioning remain
optimal.
Never clean your DOUZE V2 by means of a high-pressure water jet, as
this risks damaging the bike, particularly the motor components. This
type of damage invalidates the warranty.
Checking and changing worn parts
Regularly check the wear parts of your V2 in such a manner as to run no risks at all and not
to find yourself locked while in motion. If you have any concerns about the wear to certain
components, please consult your Retailer or your DOUZE Cycles Technical Centre.
Your DOUZE V2 is a utility bike, which could replace a car in everyday life.
Conscientious and regular cleaning is imperative for running a reliable
bike. Never wait for any problem to worsen before acting!
