8.2 Cleaning and Disinfection
The bike should be cleaned regularly according to how often it is used and how dirty it is.
Clean the frame, plastic parts and wheels with a mild cleaning agent. After cleaning, dry all parts with a dry cloth.
Clean cushions and upholstery with warm water and washing-up liquid. Remove stains with a sponge or a soft
brush. Rinse afterwards with clean water and allow the parts to dry before mounting and using.
To disinfect, use water-based agents and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
