GETTING HOME WHEN SOMETHING BREAKS
Unless you're going for a short ride in the neighborhood, or
you can walk home or call someone to pick you up if
something breaks, you should never go for a E-Bike™ ride
without the following emergency equipment:
• 4mm, 5mm and 6mm Allen wrenches, used to tighten
various clamping bolts that may loosen
• Patch kit and a spare inner tube
• Tire levers
• Tire pump or cartridge inflator with correct head to fit
your tire valves (see Chapter Five).
• Some kind of identification (so people know who you
are in case of accident).
• A couple of dollars in cash (for a candy bar, cool drink
or emergency phone call).
Flat Tire
If you get a flat tire, remove the wheel as described in
Chapter Five. Depress the tire valve to let all the air out of the
tube. Remove one bead of the tire from the rim by grasping
the tire at a point opposite the valve stem with both hands
and lifting and peeling one side of the tire off the rim. If the
bead is on too tight for you to unseat it with your hands, use
tire levers to lift the bead carefully over the tire rim. Push the
valve stem through the wheel rim. Remove the inner tube.
Carefully check the outside and inside of the tire for the
cause of the puncture and remove the cause if it is still there.
If the tire is cut, line the inside of the tire in the area of the cut
with something handy -- tape, a spare patch, a piece of inner
tube, a dollar bill -- whatever will keep the cut from pinching
the inner tube.
Either patch the tube (follow the instructions in your patch
kit), or use a new one. Reinstall the tire and tube. Slip one tire
bead over the rim. Insert the tube valve through its hole in the
rim. Feed the tube carefully into the cavity of the tire. Inflate
the tube just enough to give it some shape. Starting at the
valve stem use your thumbs to seat the tire bead inside the
rim. Work your way around both side of the wheel until the
entire bead is seated in the rim. Be careful not to pinch the
tube between the tire bead and the wheel rim. If you have
trouble getting the last few inches of bead over the edge of
the rim with thumb pressure, use a tire lever and be careful
not to pinch the tube.
CAUTION:
If you use a screwdriver or any tool other than a tire lever, you
are likely to puncture the tube.
Check to make sure the tire is evenly seated around both
sides of the rim and that the tube is inside the tire beads.
