MAINTENANCE
8.1
Wheels
Wheels should be properly placed in the fork or dropouts. If you hear any irregular noise from the wheels or brakes, they
should be checked and adjusted. The wheels should rotate smoothly without wobbling from side to side. Check the
bearing play of the hubs regularly by lifting the bicycle and spinning the wheel. It should continue to spin for several turns
after you stop spinning the wheel. The motorized wheel will NOT spin as freely as the non-motorized wheel. To check the
play of the hubs, try to move the rim from side to side between the forks. No substantial play should exist. If you detect
play, or if the wheel is difficult to turn, please contact your local dealer or your local bike shop to have it serviced.
8.2
Rims
The rims should be smooth and without cracks, breaks or bulges.
Spokes
- Check their tension regularly. About the same tension should be on all the spokes. If there is some minor
loosening of the spokes, you may tighten the nipples, but it is recommended that you take it to a bicycle mechanic for
proper adjustment. If there is a loose spoke or if the rim has side play of more than 1/8” (4mm), immediately have the
wheel trued by a bicycle mechanic. DO NOT RIDE WITH LOOSE SPOKES! Riding with loose spokes may cause the wheel to
fail.
Tires
- Inflate your tires to the pressure embossed on the sidewall. Every time you ride, make sure the tires are
properly inflated. Improper tire pressure will make riding more difficult, cause excessive wear, and cause premature
failure of the tires. The tires should be properly seated in the rim and the fitting of the tire beads and rim beads should
be checked. If the tube is pinched between the rim and the tire, it will fail when inflated. Make sure that the tires are not
cracked or worn unevenly. Check for bulges. Check and make sure that the valve stem is straight in the rim. Irregular tires
should be replaced immediately.
Brakes
-
Riding with brakes that are worn or damaged or with worn cables or wheels in poor condition may result in
losing control of your bicycle. Wet weather may hinder the brake performance. You need more distance to safely stop
in the rain or on a wet or icy street. Before each ride, check to make sure your brake cables are free of obstacles and are
adjusted and working properly.
Batteries
-
Your batteries are in a protective case with a handle to enable you to easily take these on and off your
bike. There is a locking key to lock the batteries on your bike to discourage theft. Do not attempt to open your battery box
without first contacting your dealer. This WILL void your warranty. If you suspect your battery is not working properly,
please contact your local dealer.
Chain
- Lubricate the chain with oil every three months to ensure it stays free of rust as well as every time that it is
ridden in wet weather.
Motor
– Electric bicycle motor is usually permanent magnet (brushless) motor which features high output torque and
efficiency. Maintenance is not required for this motor. Regular checks should be carried out to ensure that all component
parts are secured on the bike and that all screws are tightened.
