Maintenance
Maintaining your bicycle ensures you’ll get the most out of every ride and out of the entire life of your eZee bike. How much of your bike’s maintenance you can do yourself will
depend on your knowledge, skill, experience and whether you have the necessary tools for the job.
Learning from available cycling literature and joining cycling communities can be an enjoyable way of improving your skill and knowledge about maintaining bicycles. Beyond this
manual, it is good to consult your LBS and eZee dealer for advice regularly.
Before every ride
Mechanical safety checks, use a fully charged battery, visual inspection for damages.
Every 150kms (100 miles)
Clean the bike, incl. chain rings and sprocket. Clean and lightly oil the chain and gears.
Every 20 - 30 hours of riding
Squeeze the brakes and rock the bike to check for any looseness with each forward of backward movement. If the headset is loose, have your dealer check it.
Lift the front wheel and rotate handlebars to check for tightness of steering, it may be necessary to lubricate ball bearings.
Check and recalibrate the brakes, replace if worn out.
Every 20 - 30 hours of riding (continued)
Squeeze spokes in adjoining pairs between your thumb and index finger. They all should have the same tension. Have your dealer respoke or true the wheel if necessary.
Check cables for rust, kinks and fraying, have your dealer replace them if necessary.
Repairing a punctured tyre.
If you have a punctured tyre, we recommend that you get a specialist to carry out the repairs. You can always of course consult a specialist and carry out the repairs on your own.
Changing Tyres on hub motor wheel
With the hub motor wheel, there are additional steps in the case you require the entire wheel to be removed from the bike. A philips head screwdriver will be required to open
the cable housing (shown on left) to first unplug the wires than run from the motor to controller.. Unplug these before proceeding to remove the front wheel. Be mindful of the
tightening assembly sequence of washers, nuts and spacers.
Hub motor and general inspection
After 5,000 kms (3,000 miles) of cycling. We recommend you arrange to have a thorough inspection of your bicycle by an eZee dealer.
