Twist the broken spoke around the spoke next to it keep if from flopping around and getting caught between the wheel
and the frame. Spin the wheel to see if the rim clears the brake pads. If the wheel will not turn because it is rubbing
against a brake pad,try turning the brake cable adjusting barrel(s) clockwise to slacken the cable and open up the brakes.
If the wheel still won’t turn,open the brake’s quick release and secure any loose as best you can. Walk the E-Bike,or if you
must,ride it with extreme caution,because you now have only one working brake.
Basic Maintenance
The following procedures will help you maintain your hybrid electric bicycle for years of enjoyable riding.
Properly maintain the batteries by keeping them fully charged when not in use.
Do not ride your electric bicycle in the water(damp roads,puddles,rain,streams,etc.) and never immerse it in water as the
electrical system may be damaged.
Periodically check the wiring and connectors to ensure there is no damage and the connectors have good continuity.
For painted frames,dust the surface and remove any loose dirt with a dry cloth. Clean and wipe with a damp cloth soaked
in a mild detergent mixture. Dry with a cloth and polish with car or furniture wax. Use soap and water to clean plastic parts
and robber tires. Chrome plated bikes should be wiped over with a rust preventative fluid.
Store your bicycle under shelter. Avoid leaving it in the rain or being exposed to corrosive materials.
Riding on the beach or in coastal areas exposes you bicycle to salt which is very corrosive. Wash your bicycle frequently
and wipe or spray all unpainted parts with an anti-rust treatment. Make sure wheel rims are dry so braking performance is
not affected. After rain,dry you bicycle and apply anti-rust treatment.
If the hub and bottom bracket bearings of your bicycle have been submerged in water,they should be taken out and re-
greased. This will prevent accelerated bearing deterioration.
If paint has become scratched or chipped to the metal,use touch up paint to prevent rust. Clear nail polish can also be
used as a preventative measure.
Regularly clean and lubricate all moving parts,tighten components and make adjustments as required.
