Five easy fixes every rider should know
CHAPTER 2
Safeguard your bike
We build our bicycles to last a long time — with a little help from you.
Follow these safeguards to keep your bicycle in good shape for the
long haul.
Keep it clean
Clean your bicycle with water or mild
detergent and a non-abrasive sponge
if your bicycle is very dirty. Never
spray your bicycle using high pressure,
and never spray directly onto bearing
points or electrical parts on e-bikes.
Never use harsh chemicals or alcohol
wipes to clean your bike. See the
Five
easy fixes
section for more details on
washing your bicycle.
Part replacement
If you need to replace any bike parts
(worn brake pads, for example, or
broken parts from an accident),
visit your bike shop or go to
electrabike.com.
Use only genuine replacement
parts. If you use anything other than
genuine replacement parts you may
compromise the safety, performance,
or warranty of your bicycle.
A warning about servicing
your bike
Special tools and skills are necessary
for the servicing of your bicycle. If a
repair or adjustment is not specifically
listed in this manual, for your safety
only your bike shop should make
that repair.
