9. COMMON REPAIRS
Break-In Period
Your PXC Bike will last longer and work better if you break it in before riding it hard. Control cables
and wheel spokes may stretch or seat when a new PXC Bike is first used.
Performing a mechanical safety check will help to identify some things that need readjustment. But
even if everything seems fine to you, it’s best to take your PXC Bike to a qualified E-bike mechanic
periodically for a checkup.
Dealers typically suggest you bring bikes in for a 30 day checkup or after 10 to 15 hours of use. But
if you think something is wrong with the bike, take it to a qualified E-bike mechanic before riding it
again.
For more detailed servicing instructions, refer to the General Vehicle Upkeep section of this manual.
Broken Spoke
A wheel with a loose or broken spoke is much weaker than a fully tensioned wheel. If you break a
spoke while on a ride, it is recommended that you cease riding and walk the PXC Bike home or get
picked up, as the weakened wheel could break additional spokes.
WARNING! A BROKEN SPOKE SERIOUSLY WEAKENS THE WHEEL AND
MAY CAUSE IT TO WOBBLE, STRIKE THE BRAKES OR FRAME DURING
USE. RIDING WITH A BROKEN SPOKE CAN CAUSE YOU TO LOSE
CONTROL AND FALL.
Punctured Rear Wheel
If the rear wheel is punctured while on a ride, it is recommended that you cease riding and walk the
PXC-Bike home or get picked up. We do not recommend removing the back wheel for repairs; take your
bike to a qualified E-bike mechanic for repairs.
