Be sure to check the following before every ride:
Electrical System
• Check that the battery is seated properly in the carrier on the frame and fully plugged in.
• Check the controller display for any warnings or error messages. Resolve the error before riding.
• Check that the battery is adequately charged for the length of the ride you are planning to do.
Make sure the front and rear lights are illuminated when they are actuated and remain on when the bike is at standstill.
Mechanical
As with all mechanical components, the electric bike is subjected to wear and high stresses. Different materials and
components might react to wear or stress fatigue in different ways. If the design life of a component has been
exceeded, it may suddenly fail, possibly causing injuries to the rider. Any form of crack, scratches, or change
of colouring in highly stressed areas indicate that the life of the component has been reached and it should be replaced.
General recommendations before each ride, it is essential that make sure you check following points:
Wheels
The wheels are correctly tightened and spin straight and round. The gears work correctly and chain turns freely through gears and cables are
undamaged. Wheels are fixed inside the fork by pushing from each side. They shouldn‘t slide along the HUB Axle.
Use your Hands to squeeze the neighboring pair of Spokes. If Spoke tension differences is pronounced, have your Wheel trued.
Make sure your Wheels are securely seated by lifting each end of the bike and knocking the Wheel toward the opening of the dropout;
the Hub Axle should stay in position. The Rim should be clean and undamaged. A worn or damaged Rim may fail without warning and cause the
rider to crash.
Tires
The tires are in good shape with the correct pressure as mentioned on the tire sidewalls. Check the air pressure on your Tires.
Use your thumb to press the Tires. They should feel nice and firm but avoid over-inflating.
