Bike Maintenance
Keep it Clean
Parts Replacement
Brake Pads
Clean your e-bike with water or mild
detergent and a non-abrasive sponge.
Never spray your bicycle with a high-
pressure water source (e.g. hose).
If you need to replace any bike parts (e.g.
worn brake pads), visit your local bike
shop or go to velotricbike.com. Use only
genuine replacement parts.
Check your brake pads for wear at least once
a month.
Disc brakes:
Replace brake pads that are thinner than 1mm.
Do not spray directly onto bearing points or
electrical parts. Do not use harsh chemicals
or alcohol wipes to clean your bike.
If you use anything other than genuine
replacement parts you will compromise
the safety, performance, and/or warranty
of your bike.
Disc brake rotors:
Check the thickness/wear of the rotor.
The minimum thickness is often printed on
the disc.
Bike Maintenance
Tires
Derailleurs
Check your tires regularly before you ride.
We suggest checking around once a week
if you ride daily, or every other time if you
ride less often. A properly inflated tire is
the first step to improving your bicycle’s
performance.
Shift the gears through all the sprocket
combinations to make sure the derailleurs
operate smoothly and correctly, and
ensure the chain does not come off.
The recommended pressure for Velotric
tires is indicated on the side of the tire.
Pay close attention to your tire gauge to
get the tire pressure as close as possible
to the recommended pressure. Do not go
above the recommended pressure.
