Cleanning
and care
Dirt, impurities, minerals and many other factors can
damage the condition of your bike, so taking good
care of it will help us maximize its life. Therefore, it
is essential to properly clean all components and
protect them against corrosion.
Rayvolt Bike is an electric bike and as we all know electricity
and water are not good friends. Water conducts electricity
and in the event of any type of leak it can cause a short
circuit, damaging part or the entire system, so if we want to
wash our bicycle it is advisable to do it carefully and watch
out for contact with water. Rayvolt bikes are protected, but
it is recommended to wash them with
non-conductive
distilled water or to insulate electrical components .
The so-called quick cleaning has serious drawbacks: the
high pressure water jet can pass through the seals and
penetrate the bearings. Water tends to dilute the lubricant,
increasing friction and corrosion. More suitable and highly
recommended is to wash the bike with a hose or bucket of
water and a large sponge or brush.
