Storing your bike 

It is recommended to store your bike in a 
tempered dry place, preferably indoor or 
inside a locked shed. 

Make sure the chain has been lubricated 
before  storing  your  bike  for  a  prolonged 
period. 

Check that there is enough air pressure in 

the tires from time to time, so they don’t 

get damaged. 

If you plan to leave your bike outside, we 
recommend  that  you  lock it  and  cover  it 
with  a  tarp  to  protect  from  water  but 
allow circulation of air.
