• Do not expose the battery in a storage temperature lower than -20°C (-4°F) or higher than
60°C (140°F).
• Do not expose the battery in an environment of temperature fluctuation. The ideal
temperature of storage is between 10°C (50°F) and 25°C (77°F).
• Protect the battery against moisture, as it may result in corrosion at electric contacts. Keep the
battery at a dry place.
• Do not store the battery in the vicinity of combustible materials.
Notes for the Chain
If the chain is installed or handled incorrectly, such as bent or twisted, there may be an internal
damage unseen to naked eye. Damage like this may lead to unexpected rupture of chain, and
you will slip off the pedals, causing accident and serious injury.
Please be extra careful when handling the chain and follow exactly the instructions. Damaged
chain has to be replaced immediately by an authorized distributor.
Riding on a surface covered in snow/ice
When riding on a surface covered in snow/ice or mud, the chain may be clogged up, causing it to
bounce or slip and eventually damage. Damage like this may lead to unexpected rupture of
chain, and you will slip off the pedals. Therefore, do not ride on a surface covered in snow/ice or
mud, or there is a risk of accident and serious injury.
Tyres and Wheels
The water jet coming from a high-pressure cleaning machine may lead to damage to the chain
that is superficial but unseen to naked eye. A part that is so damaged may malfunction and lead
to a risk of accident. Therefore, do not use a high-pressure cleaning machine to clean your bike.
The tires and chain must be replaced immediate if damage is detected.
Your electric bike is manufactured and delivered through meticulous processes, but this does
not prevent the loss of tension in the chain after the first km of riding. The rider should always
check chain tension and re-tension it as needed.
Tyre Pressure
In case that the tire pressure keeps dropping, please check if there is any foreign object on the
tire or whether there is a leak at the valve. Low tire pressure will compromise the
maneuverability of the bike, and cause you to fall. Risk of accident may come from any of the
following:
• Replace damaged tubes always.
• Remove all foreign objects in the tires before installing a new tube.
Check tire pressure regularly or at least every 14 days. The recommended tire pressure is found
in the “technical data.”
Transport the Electric Bike
Check that the drive chain is free of foreign objects when transporting the bike. There is a
specific requirement of the load on luggage carrier as part of the weight and frame design for
this bike. An inadequate luggage carrier may malfunction during your trip or cause the bike to
be unsafe. Check the information in the instruction manual for the electric auxiliary bicycle load.
Repair and Maintenance
Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular and appropriate maintenance works help maintain the value of your electric bike. It is
advised to dispose of the empty package materials and cleaning wipes in an environmentally
responsible manner.
High-pressure cleaning equipment
Do not use high-pressure cleaning equipment to clean the bike. Replace the tires and chain if
damage is detected. The water jet coming from a high-pressure cleaning machine may lead to
damage to the tires or driving belt that is superficial but unseen to naked eye. The water may
seep into bearings or damage the electric parts of the power controller system. A part with such
damage may malfunction and result in a risk of accident.
Manual Cleaning
The braking efficiency will decrease after washing the bike, and there is a risk of accident. Make
sure that the brakes work proper after washing until the braking efficiency is fully restored.
• Washing the bike with water should be kept to a minimum and the electric contacts shall be
protected against water.
• Use rubber covers to cover the electric contacts on the battery mount.
'
• Use soft sponge or brush to clean the bike.
• Use moist wipe to clean the battery mount.
• Check the electric connections after washing and allow the bike to dry completely before
riding.
Maintenance
Darfon Innovation recommends you to have your bike checked by an authorized professional
distributor once every year.
