Maintenance, care and storage
Transport of your X Speed
8. Transport of your X Speed
You can transport your speed pedelec by car or train. For
transport by car, we recommend to use a tow bar bike rack,
which is specifically designed for the transport of E-bikes,
speed pedelecs and for heavier loads. Please ask your Klever
dealer for more specific recommendations.
Not recommended is the transport on the car’s roof. The
heavier weight and the special frame tubes prevent you from
stably fixing the speed pedelec on a roof rack. In addition, the
weight of the vehicle is usually higher than the maximum
weight limit of the car roof rack.
Prior to transporting your vehicle with a tow bar rack, you
should remove the battery pack as well as other non-fixed
accessories such as air pump and panniers. Additional
protection should be given to electrical contacts of the
battery connector on the frame. This can be done with a
plastic bag to protect those parts from moisture and rain.
Air flow may cause the moisture to enter into the electric
system.
In case your car is big enough, then it is best to transport your
vehicle inside your car. That offers the best protection.
Transportation by air is nearly impossible, unless you want
to transport the X Speed without battery. For airlines these
batteries are classified as hazardous goods and consequently
will not be transported. To be sure, ask your airline under
which conditions the transport of the battery may be
allowed. However, this could be quite expensive. For more
information on the transport of the battery, please check
section 6.5.4. Transport of the battery.
9. Maintenance, care and storage
Maintenance
Regular maintenance and care guarantee a longer lifespan of
your X Speed. You should regularly carry out simple cleaning
and care yourself and let your dealer do the necessary
inspections. Never clean the vehicle with a high-pressure
cleaner or a steam cleaner, as water may enter bearings,
motor and electronic contacts. Water could damage these
parts due to corrosion and short circuits. Clean your bike
with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Please make sure
that no electrical contact gets wet. The contacts can be
maintained and conserved from time to time with a little care
oil (e.g., 1-Step Finish Line). Contact spray is too aggressive
and doesn’t preserve. You should repair varnish damages at
once. All parts liable to corrosion should be maintained and
preserved by appropriate means.
Caution! During cleaning and lubrication, avoid contact
with oil and fat on the brake pads and disc brake rotors.
The stopping power might deteriorate and could represent
a serious risk.
Caution! The belt drive must not be greased or lubricated,
under no condition. It suffices to clean the belt with some
water every now and then.
Please note! Always ensure that the tyres are inflated
within the manufacturer's recommended operating
pressure, which can be found on the tyre’s sidewall.
Never go over or under the recommended range of tyre
pressure.
The entire electrical system of your speed pedelec, such as the
motor, the sensors, the wiring harness and the battery are
maintenance-free. In case you meet unexpected problems
with the system, contact our technical hotline (see also
section 1 Introduction) or consult an authorised Klever dealer.
Caution! Do not open the motor, the display or the
battery. It is dangerous and this will immediately void
the warranty.
