3. Cleaning and treatment
Cleaning of your bicycle
You can clean your bike by first removing the dirt with a brush and then washing it with warm
water. This will make your bike look like new again. Regular cleaning of the bicycle will incre-
ase its service life. Be careful not to use too much water near the battery. Make sure that no
dirt gets into the sensor plate (near the bottom bracket). When cleaning the bike, it is best to
remove the battery. Never use a high-pressure cleaner!
