7. Daily Maintenance Tips and Best Practice
Just like a regular bike
,
lubrication is important for maintaining your e-bike. The front fork attachment, front and rear axles, bottom
bracket, pedal threads and seat posts should be greased once a year. The rest of the drivetrain, including the derailleurs and chain,
should be lubricated once a week in Winter and every two weeks over Summer with a bike specific lubricant. The brake levers and
cassette can also be lubricated once a month.
Battery Care
To extend the life of your battery: • Keep your battery at room temperature and avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures • Do not
leave your battery in direct sunlight • Do not leave your battery for more than two months without charging it • Batteries like to be
charged frequently, the ideal range is to keep your battery between 20 -
80% • Prevent draining your battery completely • Use the
velcro strap around your battery to secure it to the bike frame.
Battery Safety
To protect your property and prevent harm:
•
Never charge your battery unattended
•
Always have smoke/fire alarms at your property
•
Never charge or use a damaged battery - if in doubt, contact your dealer
•
When charging on the bike, keep 1-metre of clear space around the bike
•
Switch on your charger AFTER plugging it into the bike and the wall socket
