Tyre Pressures
The tyres must always be inflated to the correct pressure (as specified on the tyre sidewall)
before every ride. Riding the bicycle with either too low or too high pressures will affect
bicycle performance, may affect effective electrical assistance range, and may render the
bicycle as dangerous. Use an accurate pressure gauge when checking pressures.
Chain Care
The chain periodically requires lubrication, depending on
frequency of use and conditions etc. If the chain is noisy
or running roughly, lubricate it by applying a small
amount of bicycle chain lubricant to it. Do not allow the
lubricant to get on to the tyres.
Torque Settings
It is important to regularly check all fasteners for adequate tightness. The following are
considered highly important and should be adjusted to the specified torque values using a
suitable bicycle torque wrench, sockets and adapters. Depending on bicycle model and design,
some fasteners listed below may not be applicable:
• Front Axle Nut – 35Nm
• Rear Axle Nut – 35Nm
• Handlebar Clamp Bolt – 10Nm
• Handlebar Neck Lock Bolt - 15Nm
• Handlebar Stem Bolt – 24Nm
• Pedal Bolts – 35Nm
• Brake Calliper Mounting Bolt – 7Nm
• Brake Cable Anchor Bolt – 7Nm
Frequently Asked Questions
Q:Is it normal for batteries to get warm when charging?
A
: Yes, it is normal that the batteries will become warm during the charging process.
Q:How long will my batteries last before needing replacement?
A
: Average battery life depends on use and conditions. Even with proper care, rechargeable
batteries do not last forever. Generally, lithium-ion batteries will last more than 800 charge
discharge cycles. A partial charge/discharge counts fractionally against those
numbers ;discharging the battery to 50% then recharging it completely uses up one half of a
charge cycle.
"End of useful life" refers to the point at which a battery can no longer supply 60% or more of
its original rated ampere-hour (Ah) capacity. A this point, degradation of the battery being
able to be fully charged accelerates and the battery will need to be replaced.
