Bicycle
Care
To ensure safe riding conditions you must ensure your bike is properly maintained. You should follow these basic guidelines
and see your certified bicycle mechanic at regular intervals to ensure your bike is safe for use.
1. Properly maintain batteries by keeping them fully charged when not in use.
2. Never immerse the bike or any components in water as the electrical system may become damaged.
3. Periodically check wiring and connectors to ensure there is no damage and the connectors are secure.
4. To clean, wipe the frame with a damp cloth soaked in a mild non-corrosive detergent mixture. Dry with a cloth.
5. Store your E-Bike under shelter; avoid leaving it in the rain or exposed to corrosive materials. If exposed to rain, dry your bicycle
afterwards and apply anti-rust treatment to chain and other unpainted steel surfaces.
6. Riding on the beach or in coastal areas exposes your bicycle to salt which is very corrosive. Wash your bicycle frequently and wipe
or spray all unpainted parts with anti-rust treatment. Damage from corrosion is not covered under warranty so special care should be
given to extend the life of your bike when used in coastal areas or areas with salty air or water.
7. If the hub and bottom bracket bearings have been submerged in water, they should be removed and re-greased. This will
prevent accelerated bearing deterioration.
8. If the paint has become scratched or chipped in the metal, use touch up paint to prevent rust. Clear nail polish can also be
used as a preventative measure to protect any exposed metal from surface scratches.
9. Regularly clean and lubricate all moving parts, tighten components and adjust as required per the maintenance schedule.
I
f your E-Bike has fallen or impacted another object while parked or riding, you should consider your bike unsafe to ride until you consult
with a certified bicycle mechanic for a comprehensive inspection and repair if necessary.
Any aftermarket modifications to your E-Bike could create an unsafe riding condition and/or void the warranty. Consult with a certified
E-Bike mechanic for any modifications you wish to make to your E-Bike.

E-Bike components are subject to higher wear when compared to bicycles without power assistance, because E-Bikes travel at higher
average speeds than regular bicycles and have a greater weight. Higher wear is not a defect in the product and is not subject to
warranty. Typical components affected are the tires, brake pads, suspension forks, spokes/wheels and battery pack. Proper
maintenance is extremly important to extend the useful life of your E-Bike.
