Adjusting the V-Brake Spring Tension
If the brake arms start to lean to one side or another, they must be corrected. The brake
pads should touch the wheel rim at the sample time.
Adjust by turning the spring tension screw.
Loosen the screw to move the brake arm closer to the wheel rim.
Tighten the screw to move the brake arm away from the wheel rim.
Inspecting Wheel Trueness
Over the lifetime of the bike, the wheels may begin to run out of true.
To check the trueness of a wheel, lift the E-Bike up and spin the wheel. If the wheel wobbles
from side to side, then the wheel is out of true and will need to be repaired.
Special tools are required for this repair. It is recommended that the wheels are trued by a
quali昀椀ed repair technician. Contact your local retailer for more information on wheel repairs.
Inspecting Rim Wear
Each wheel features a black line wear indicator machined into the side of the rim. If the
wear indicator is no longer visible, the wheel rim should be replaced immediately.
WARNING: If the wheel wear indicator is starting to show signs of wear, the wheel rim
should be replaced immediately. Do not attempt to ride the bike until the rim is replaced
as braking performance could be affected.
Inspecting the Wheel Bearings
Over the lifetime of the bike, the wheel bearings may become worn and will need servicing.
To check this, grab the tyre of either the front or rear wheel while holding the bike securely.
Vigorously move the tyre from side to side. If the wheel moves at the wheel hub (the centre
of the wheel), the bearing may be worn.
