Cleaning and Maintenance
•
Use a damp cloth with neutral detergent to clean the bike frame. Do not use any
detergents or cleaning liquids liable to deteriorate the frame or components.
•
Use a dedicated bicycle cleaner or hot soapy water to clean your bike and its
components, such as wheels, hubs, rims, brakes and pedals. Rinse well with clean
water before use.
•
Do not use high pressure water jets to clean your bike, especially on the electrical
components (such as the battery), as this may result in short circuiting or system
malfunctions.
•
All the components and parts of your bicycle are subject to normal wear and fatigue.
•
Keep a close eye on any change in the shape or colour of a component or traces of
oxidation (rust) on your bicycle. If this occurs, do not use the product until the

•
Do not ride while you feel unwell, nor after consuming alcohol or drugs. This product has
the potential to endanger yourself and others if not operated responsibly.
•
Pedal-assisted bicycles are not designed for 2 or more people. Do not ride carry
passengers as these bicycles are not designed to carry the additional load of a second

potentially cause loss of control, accidents, and injury.
