MAINTENANCE
A little extra maintenance is needed unlike a regular bike. One of the main things you may
encounter is that your spokes need to be tightened more often than a non-electric wheel.
Our wheels use 12Guage spokes that are very powerful, but more sensitive to vibration.
In addition to paying attention to the tension of your spokes, it is important to periodically
check all your screws and bolts, especially your rear suspension pivot points.Checking
and tightening if necessary will allow you to have a bike safe and secure.
Keep your bike clean! There is nothing worse than having to work on a dirty bike ...
Do not forget the usual maintenance of bicycles, such as tire pressure, chain oiling,
replacement of brake pads, etc.
The motor is a well sealed part and requires no maintenance during its service life.
Finally, it is important to charge the battery at least once a month to ensure that it
maintains a safe level of storage. Charge the battery at least once a month if you are not
using it and before each race if you have not charged it for more than a week. Leaving the
battery pack flat can completely deplete the cells, which could lead to premature battery
failure.
