Cleaning, Storing, and
Transporting your E-bike
When not riding, turn the drive system
off and remove the battery to prevent
unauthorized use. Remove the battery
and key when the bike is parked for long
periods of time.
Cleaning
Use a damp sponge with only a mild
soap and water solution. Rinse the
sponge often. Do not spray water directly
on controls or drive system components.
•
Use a soft brush to remove dry con-
tamination.
•
If any part of any component of
the drivetrain is wet, allow it to dry
completely before connecting the
charger.
•
Do not use a pressure washer or dry
with compressed air. This will force
contaminants into sealed areas,
electrical connections/components
promoting corrosion, immediately
damaging, or result in accelerated
wear.
•
Do not use alcohol, solvents or abra-
sive cleaners to clean the battery or
charger.
•
For instructions on how to clean
drivetrain components, please refer
to the supplementary drive-assist
manual for the drivetrain manu-
facturer’s instructions. Make sure
connectors are dry and clean before
reconnecting and riding.
