o
If the front and rear wheel do not rotate smoothly due to friction, the bicycle's
power consumption will increase and its mileage will reduce. To prevent failure,
make sure the bicycle is lubricated and maintained in a timely manner. Use
calcium-based or lithium-based grease as a lubricant. If the hub fails, replace the
bearings or the complete hub. If the motor fails, it must be repaired by an
authorised dealer.
o
Power on the bicycle when checking the electrical circuit for continuity. Check
whether all connectors are firmly plugged in and all fuses are working normally.
Check whether the output of the battery terminals is optimal and whether the
wiring harness is properly connected to the battery. Solve any issues in a timely
manner.
o Before riding, check whether the battery level is enough for the expected mileage.
If the battery level is insufficient, supplement by pedalling the bicycle to avoid
battery undervoltage.
o
Before riding, check whether the motor works properly. Start the motor and adjust
its speed to visually inspect and listen to the motor. If there is any unusual
behaviour, it should be repaired in a timely manner.
o
Before riding, check whether the lights and bell are working properly, especially
when riding at night. The front light is supposed to be bright and its light beam
should fall in a range of 5–10 meters in front of the bicycle. The bell is supposed to
ring loudly and the dashboard should work normally.
o
Before riding, check whether all parts are properly fastened. For example, the
handlebar, handle post, saddle, seat post, front wheel, rear wheel, crank axle,
locknut and pedals. If any part is loose or lost, it should be tightened or replaced
immediately.
