1.5) Maintenance:
Many parts on your e-bike are subject to a higher degree of wear due to their function and depending on
their use. Have your e-bike checked regularly at a professional bike shop and have any worn parts replaced.
After an accident or crash you must take your e-bike to a bike repair specialist to make sure that it is safe to
ride. Be aware that damage may not be visible. Failure to do this may result in serious injury. Any form of
crack, scratches or change of coloring in highly stressed areas indicate that the life expectancy of the part
has been reached and it should be replaced immediately. Ensure the battery is removed from the bike before
carrying out any maintenance. Make sure that all screws and bolts are tightened securely before riding. You
must always use genuine replacement parts when performing maintenance on your e-bike. Regularly check
the tire pressures (See sidewall of your tire for correct psi range) and regularly check the tread depth of tires.
