Cleaning and care
WARNING!
Clean the e-bike properly and maintain it in good working condition. The
warranty will not apply in case of corrosion due to lack of maintenance.
• After every ride
, wash your bike with soapy water (liquid dish soap is
recommended for its ability to remove grease without damaging the bike),
but do not wash any electrical parts.
Avoid using high-pressure washers.
Always dry your bike with a soft cloth in order to avoid rust and corrosion. While
carefully drying your entire bike, you will also be able to inspect all the different
parts and detect any potential problems.
• Lubrication is an important part of maintenance of electric vehicles. The
front axle, middle axle flywheel, front fork shock absorber pivot and other
components should be scrubbed with an appropriate lubricating oil
every six
months
.
• Check the chain tension
after every ride
. The correct chain tension is 8036N.
The bike has a freewheel, so you can check the chain tension by spinning the
pedals backwards. The chain needs to be as tight as possible without creating
friction that will waste energy and wear the chain and cogs prematurely.
Professional bike mechanics are required to carry out the following steps:
• To adjust the rear wheel's position, loosen one side and push the rim between
the chain stays to one side to move the loose end of the axle a short distance
back or forward. Retighten the nut. Loosen the other side and ease the rim in
the other direction so the rear wheel is once again straight in the frame.
• Test again and repeat the process, moving the rear wheel a short distance
forward or back until the tension is in the target zone. You need to test by
spinning the pedals because neither cogwheel will be a perfect circle so the
chain tension will vary as the cranks spin. Once the chain tension is acceptable,
tighten both nuts fully.
• During the whole process please pay attention to the motor cable, do not
damage or loosen the cable.
