brakes or the frame. Riding with a broken spoke can cause you to lose control and
fall.
Twist the broken spoke around the spoke next to it keep it from flopping around and
getting caught between the wheel and the frame. Spin the wheel to see if the rim
clears the brake pads. If the wheel will not turn because it is rubbing against a brake
pad, try turning the brake cable adjusting barrel(s) clockwise to slacken the cable and
open up the brakes .If the wheel still won’t turn, open the brake’s quick release and
secure any loose as best you can. Walk the E-Bike ,or if you must, ride it with extreme
caution, because you now have only one working brake.
Basic Maintenance
The following procedures will help you maintain your hybrid electric bicycle for years
of enjoyable riding.
Properly maintain the batteries by keeping them fully charged when not in use.
We do not recommend that riding your electric bicycle in the water(damp roads,
puddles ,rain, streams, etc.) and never immerse it in water as the electrical system
may be damaged.
Periodically check the wiring and connectors to ensure there is no damage and the
connectors have good continuity.
For painted frames ,dust the surface and remove any loose dirt with a dry cloth.
Clean and wipe with a damp cloth soaked in a mild detergent mixture. Dry with a
cloth and polish with car or furniture wax. Use soap and water to clean plastic parts
and robber tires. Chrome plated bikes should be wiped over with a rust preventative
fluid.
Store your bicycle under shelter. Avoid leaving it in the rain or being exposed to
corrosive materials.
Riding on the beach or in coastal areas exposes you bicycle to salt which is very
corrosive. Wash your bicycle frequently and wipe or spray all unpainted parts with
an anti-rust treatment .Make sure wheel rims are dry so braking performance is not
affected. After rain, dry you bicycle and apply anti-rust treatment.
If the hub and bottom bracket bearings of your bicycle have been submerged in
water, they should be taken out and re-greased. This will prevent accelerated bearing
deterioration.
If paint has become scratched or chipped to the metal, use touch up paint to prevent
rust. Clear nail polish can also be used as a preventative measure.
Regularly clean and lubricate all moving parts ,tighten components and make
adjustments as required.
Storage
Keep your bicycle in a dry location which is away from the weather and sun.
Direct sunlight may cause paint to fade or rubber and plastic parts to crack. Before
storing your bicycle for a long period of time, clean and lubricate all components and
wax the frame. Deflate the tires to half pressure and hang the bicycle off the ground.
