D. Maintenance
Your bicycle requires regular maintenance for your safety but also to prolong its useful life. It is
important to check the mechanical elements periodically in order that worn-out parts or those showing
signs of wear are replaced if necessary.
When replacing a component, it is important to use original brand parts in order to preserve the
bicycle's performance and reliability. Ensure that appropriate spare parts are used for tyres, inner
tubes, gear system components and the various components of the braking system.
The user is responsible should they use parts different from the original parts.
WARNINGS: Always remove the battery before carrying out maintenance.
I. Cleaning
To avoid corrosion of the bicycle, it should be regularly rinsed in fresh water, especially if it has been
exposed to sea air.
It should be cleaned with a sponge, a bowl of warm soapy water and a hosepipe (without pressure).
RECOMMENDATION: Be especially careful not to use a high-pressure water jet
cleaner.
II. Lubrication
Lubrication is essential on the various components that move, in order to avoid corrosion. Regularly
grease the chain, brush the sprockets and chainrings and periodically trickle a few drops of lubricant
into the brake and derailleur cable sheaths.
We recommend starting by cleaning and drying the components to be lubricated.
It is advisable to use specific oil for the chain and the derailleur. Grease must be used for the other
components.
