• Every 25 hours of operation (or always after riding in extreme conditions in wet environments such
as mud, wet sand):
1. Lube the dust caps and seals with Teflon oil.
2. Check that all fork bolts are tightened sufficiently.
3. Check if any parts of the fork are damaged. If you find that any parts of the fork are worn or
damaged, replace them with new original parts. Never ride on a damaged fork!
• Every 50 hours of operation – have the fork serviced by a qualified workshop (SERVICE 1)
• Every 100 hours of operation – have the fork serviced by a qualified workshop (SERVICE 2)
SERVICE 1 – recommended service tasks: checking fork functionality, cleaning and lubrication
of bushings, lubrication of fork locking control wiring, checking tightening torques, checking air
pressure, checking the condition of the fork – wear of the legs, damage to fork parts.
SERVICE 2 – recommended service tasks: SERVICE 1 + disassembly of the fork, cleaning of all parts of
the fork, lubrication of dust caps and oil rings, lubrication of the fork locking control, checking of air
valve seals and air pressure, checking of tightening torques.
NOTICE
Use Teflon oil and lubricants containing Teflon to lubricate the fork. Do not use lubricants containing
lithium, they may damage some internal parts of the fork. In the case of service work that requires the
use of special tools, such as removing the fork, replacing the fork bushings, etc., we recommend that
you contact a professional bike workshop.
REAR SUSPENSION UNIT – SHOCK ABSORBER
If your e-bike is equipped with a rear suspension unit, follow these steps:
SUSPENSION HARDNESS ADJUSTMENT
The suspension hardness of air shock absorbers is set by inflating the air into the air chamber of the
shock absorber.
The damper pressure is adjusted according to the rider's operating weight. If it is an air shock
absorber, then the same setting parameters apply to the pressure as with air forks. If the shock
absorber is spring-loaded, the spring hardness is set by preload (compression) of the spring. The
spring is compressed by turning the nut which is at the end of the spring. The spring must be in
constant preload. Do not use the e-bike if the shock absorber spring is loose or does not fit perfectly
on the shock absorber seating surfaces.
NOTICE
The shock absorber is set up by the manufacturer and checked by your dealer. A special high-pressure
pump with a pressure gauge is needed to inflate the shock absorber. Adjusting and inflating the shock
absorber requires skill and the right tools, which is why we recommend you contact a professional
bike shop.
SHOCK ABSORBER SUSPENSION LOCKOUT
The Lockout function allows you to lock the shock's suspension for more efficient pedalling when
riding uphill or on lighter terrain. The shock absorber spring lock is controlled by a lever on the
underside of the shock absorber – it has 2 positions: turning the lever to the "lock" position locks
the shock absorber spring, turning it to the opposite side releases the shock absorber and operates
in suspension mode.
NOTICE
Prolonged use of a locked shock absorber suspension can cause premature shock absorber wear.
SHOCK ABSORBER REBOUND DAMPING
The Rebound absorber damping adjuster adjusts the rate at which the absorber returns to its original
position when depressed.
The control for Rebound is located at the top of the absorber. Turning the adjustment unit clockwise
slows the rate of return to the original position. Turning counter-clockwise increases the speed.
