Service
Technological advances have made
bicycles and bicycle components more
complex, and the pace of innovation
is increasing. It is impossible for this
manual to provide all the information
required to properly repair and/or main-
tain your bicycle. In order to help min-
imize the chances of an accident and
possible injury, it is critical that you
have any repair or maintenance which
is not specifically described in this man
-
ual performed by your dealer. Equally
important is that your individual mainte-
nance requirements will be determined
by everything from your riding style to
geographic location. Consult your dealer
for help in determining your mainte-
nance requirements.
Many bicycle service and repair tasks
require special knowledge and tools. Do
not begin any adjustments or service on
your bicycle until you have learned from
your dealer how to properly complete
them. Improper adjustment or service
may result in damage to the bicycle or
in an accident which can cause serious
injury or death.
Before performing ANY service, inspec-
tion, or maintenance on your electric
bicycle, you should first remove the bat
-
tery. Failure to remove the battery could
lead to the bicycle turning on unexpect-
edly, causing serious damage or injury.
If you have to perform maintenance that
requires the battery to be installed, you
must be sure that even if the bicycle
wheel, chain, or other drivetrain com-
ponents begin moving unexpectedly,
they will not be in a position to cause
injury or damage.
If you want to learn to do major service and
repair work on your bike:
1.
Ask your dealer for copies of the man-
ufacturer’s installation and service instruc-
tions for the components on your bike, or
contact the component manufacturer.
2.
Ask your dealer to recommend a book
on bicycle repair.
3.
Ask your dealer about the availability
of bicycle repair courses in your area.
We recommend that you ask your dealer
to check the quality of your work the first
time you work on something and before
you ride the bike, just to make sure that
you did everything correctly. Since that
will require the time of a mechanic, there
may be a modest charge for this service.
We also recommend that you ask your
dealer for guidance on what spare parts,
