INSPECTION BEFORE STARTING
A JOURNEY
Checking tires and wheels
N WARNING
If seated at an angle, valves may break
off while the e-bike is in operation. If
this happens, the
tire will suddenly lose
pres-sure.
There is a risk of an accident.
Check the seating of the valves. The val-
ves must extend from the wheel rim at
right angles. Correct the position of any
incorrectly seated valves immediately.
Before every ride, check the following:
•
tires and wheels for damage and fo-
reign bodies lodged in the tires . Da-
maged wheels can lead to a loss of
pressure and result in further damage.
• tire tread depth
• true running of the wheels by allowing
both wheels to rotate freely. Out-o-
fround wheels can be an indication
of
tires which have burst at the side,
broken axles or torn spokes. Also inve-
stigate any rattling noises and check
bearings and bolted connections if ne-
cessary.

detached from the transmission gears
while the e-bike is in operation.

the chain is properly aligned and
