on maintenance, cleaning, tools and materials.
INFO:
Make sure to also read the information on maintenance in general bike
owner's manual.
7.1 Cleaning
Use a soft cloth or brush, optionally with a minimal amount of a neutral cleaning solution,
to wipe dirt off. Wipe dry with a clean soft cloth afterwards.
CAUTION:
• Do not use high-pressure water or air hoses for cleaning. It can force water
into (sealed) electric components, which may cause malfunctions and defects.
• Do not wash the E-bike components with excessive water. If water reaches
internal electrical parts, it may cause malfunctions and other problems.
NOTICE:
• Do not use non-neutral cleaning solutions to wash the components. Non-
neutral solutions may cause materials to deteriorate, change colour, distort,
scratch etc.
7.2 Drivetrain
Automatic chain-tensioner
The Pakyak E+ has an internal gear hub in
the rear wheel. It has an automatic chain-
tensioner that maintains proper chain
tension.
If there is too much slack on the chain, the
tensioner may have to be adjusted, or the
chain may have worn out and needs to be
replaced.
