4.14. TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
When tightening up the bolts and screws on your e-bike, it is highly recommended that you follow the below guide.
This confirms what each screw or bolt for each component on the electric bike must be tightened up to in Newton
Metres (Nm). This is why we always recommend you using a qualified bicycle mechanic.
If the screws are too loose they can fatigue more easily and move around. If too tight they can become distorted
and stretch.
A mistake can result in a failure to the component which would result in an accident and/or serious injury. Torque
wrenches are available at a good bicycle shop, or a car accessory store. Always follow the guidelines and instructions.
