• Lift the Front Wheel off the ground and swing it
from side to side. Check if it feels smooth. If you
feel any binding or roughness in the steering, you
may have an overly tight Headset. Have a qualified
bike mechanic check it.
TIP!
The Headset is the set of components
on a bicycle that provides a rotatable
interface between the e-bike’s Fork and
the Head Tube of a bicycle frame.
Wheels and tyres
• Check the tight fit of quick releases and all
important bolts and nuts.
• Check the tyre air pressure. You will find the
required air pressure at the sidewall of the tyres.
Do not exceed the minimum and maximum air
pressure.
• Make sure that tyres and rims are free from
damages, cracks and deformations.
For more information about wheels and tyres please
see chapter 15.
Gears and chain
• Shift through all Gears and make sure the Chain
and Derailleurs are fully functional. If your Gears
are not shifting smoothly, we recommend you to
consult a qualified bike mechanic.
• Check that the Chain turns freely through the
Gears by rotating the Crank backwards, and make
sure that Cables are undamaged.
• For optimal shifting and efficiency, the Chain must
connect with the teeth properly. To check that
your Chain is fully connected with the Chainring,
rotate the Cranks and ensure no gaps or kinks are
visible.
• Check all control Cables and Housings for rust,
kinks, and fraying. They should be replaced if
damaged.
ATTENTION!
The Chain endures huge tension forces
from pedalling making it important to
regularly check it.
DANGER!
If the Rear Derailleur is malfunctioning,
do not use the highest and lowest gears
of the Rear Cassette since the Chain or
Wheel may get jammed which can cause
damage to the e-bike or injury to the
rider.
Loading (if applicable)
• Check that the front rack is securely fixed and
that all nuts and bolts are correctly fixed and
tightened.
• Check that your luggage is fixed securely on the
front rack and that nothing can get caught by the
wheels or block your sight.
• Check to ensure that you do not exceed the
e-bikes maximum permissible total weight
(fully assembled e-bike, rider, equipment and
luggage) = 110 kg.
ATTENTION!
Balance and handling of your e-bike may
change during and after loading your
luggage. Practice handling and riding your
e-bike with luggage in a quiet area before
heading into traffic.
For more information about carrying cargo please see
chapter 16.
Unusual noises
• Be aware of any unusual noises or changes to
handling characteristics which may indicate a
problem.
• You can test the bike by lifting it up about 10 cm
and drop it to the ground. If you hear any unusual
noise or notice issues with Frame stability
(especially Frame, Seat post and Handlebar
Joints), check all bearings and couplings or book
it for a service appointment at a qualified bike
mechanic.
