Servicing MERIDA speed pedelecs – Special
features
Please note that in the case of MERIDA speed pedelecs
only certain components are allowed to be replaced,
otherwise there is the risk of loosing the operating li-
cense and the insurance cover. Only use spare parts
confirmed by experts’ reports on the approval for your
MERIDA speed pedelec. As an alternative you may also
go through an individual approval process by a technical
inspection authority of your country. To be on the safe
side, be sure to only use original spare parts.
Components which must not be replaced or only after a
type test, e.g. carried out by a technical inspection au-
thority: Frame, fork, drive unit, battery, tires, rims, brake
system, front and rear light, kickstand, handlebars,
stem, command console/display
(e)
and license plate
frame.
The following components can be replaced, even with-
out any further test: Pedals
(f)
(pedal reflectors are com-
pulsory), mudguards (with rounded edge at the front
mudguard), pannier rack, saddle
(g)
and rubber grips on
the handlebars, gear components (provided the highest
transmission remains identical), seat post
(h)
, chain,
headset, inner tube and hub as well as bell and rear
view mirror (when replaced by equivalent models).

In the case of MERIDA speed pedelecs be
sure to only assemble original spare parts,
otherwise the operating license expires.
Drive maintenance and care
The motor, the rechargeable battery and the drive HMI
and/or display are mainly maintenance free, except for
the battery charging which is necessary regularly. From
time to time the dirt and oil needs to be cleaned off your
chain with an oily rag. Special degreasers are not neces-
sary; they even have a damaging effect.
Having cleaned the chain as thoroughly as possible, ap-
ply chain oil, wax or grease
to the chain links. To lubri-
cate the chain, drip the lubricant onto the rollers of the
lower run of the chain while you turn the crank. Once
this is done, turn the cranks a few more times; then let
the MERIDA pedelec rest for a few minutes so that the
lubricant can disperse. Finally wipe off excess lubricant
with a rag so that it does not spatter around during riding
or can collect road dirt.
h
A rechargeable battery that has reached the
end of its service life may not be disposed of
in the normal household rubbish. Bring the
rechargeable battery to the dealer, where you buy your
new one. If in doubt, ask your MERIDA dealer.
s
The drive is not approved for steam clean-
ing, high-pressure cleaning or cleaning with
a water hose. The contact of water with the
electronics or the drive can destroy the units. The indi-
vidual drive components can be cleaned with a soft rag
and neutral detergents. You may use a moist rag, but
not excessive water. Do not submerge the rechargeable
battery!
