5.7. Tires and preferred pressure
The tires on your bike are suitable for almost all types of terrain, with
good grip on wet asphalt as well. Tire pressure has a large influence on
the range of your battery and the comfort of your ride. It is advisable to
always keep your tires at the right pressure, which is indicated on the
sides of the tire. As a reference, you should be able to slightly compress
the tire with your thumb when pressing firmly.
5.8. Rear carrier (accessory for MN8, MN8B)
Your QWIC Premium Q e-bike has a custom designed rear carrier. The
carrier is approved for carrying loads up to 25 kg. It can support most
bicycle bags and baskets by means of the integrated MIK system. The

5.6. Belt drive
The Premium Q MNAuto and MN8B are equipped with a belt drive. A
belt drive is very suitable for the powerful e-bike motors such as the
Brose mid motor that is installed in this e-bike. Belt drives are quiet, very
durable and easy to maintain because of their stable tension throughout
their use. A properly installed and used belt can last up to 25.000 km
without the need for maintenance or replacement.
Maintenance
As you do not need to lubricate a belt, it is a lot cleaner compared to a
chain. As a result, no chain guard is needed when using a belt drive. If
needed, you can clean the belt with water. Do not use a high-pressure
cleaner, as this could cause damage to other parts of the bicycle.
Belt tension
Proper belt tension is key to optimal performance. If the belt is too tight,
it can cause drag and damage the hub. If the belt is too loose it can skip
teeth and slip. If you notice either of these, the belt tension should be
adjusted. Contact your dealer to get your belt checked.

In case any teeth are broken from the belt, please contact your
dealer directly.

It is important to properly align the belt. If the alignment is not
perfect, the belt will wear down more quickly and cause noise.
A belt cannot be pried or pushed of the chainwheel like regular
chains. Only let an accredited dealer service your belt drive.
