E-Bike Care
7. Wear, maintenance &
inspections
Wear
Your Klever E-bike consists of many components, which are
all subject to normal wear due to their function. Therefore,
all following components should be regularly checked and if
necessary, replaced immediately:
1.
Disc brake rotors & pads
are put under stress during each
braking operation and wear as a consequence. Therefore,
they must be periodically inspected and if necessary, be
replaced immediately.
2.
Tyres & inner tubes
are subject to function-related wear
and should be checked regularly. The air pressure and the
depth of the tread profile must be checked regularly too.
The air pressure should always be at the manufacturer's
recommended operating pressure, which is printed on
the tyre sidewall. In case the tread profile of the tyre is no
longer deep enough or the tyre has cracked sidewalls, it
should be replaced.
3.
Rims & spokes
are stressed while braking or riding over
obstacles. Regularly check the concentricity of the wheel
and the spoke tension. If the wheel has radial or axial play,
this should be readjusted. In the event of spoke breakage,
the broken spoke should be immediately replaced and the
wheel should be re-trued.
4.
Chain, sprockets, chain wheels & derailleur pulley
wheels
wear out normally. Regular cleaning and
lubrication of these components will extend their service
life substantially. They should, however, in case they are
worn be replaced.
5.
Belt, rear sprocket, front belt wheel
are very robust and
wear less than the components of derailleur drive trains.
Unlike derailleur drive trains, belt drive trains should not
be lubricated. Just clean these components every now and
then with some water. During the annual inspection your
dealer should check the tension of the belt and the wear of
the individual components.
6.
Shifting cables & brake hoses
must be maintained
regularly and replaced if necessary. Especially in case
your E-bike is often parked outdoor and exposed to the
weather.
7.
Hydraulic oils & lubricants
change over time and lose
their effectiveness. Therefore, all lubrication points are to
be regularly cleaned and re-greased in order to minimise
the wear.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance and care guarantee a longer lifespan
of your E-bike. You should regularly carry out simple cleaning
and care yourself. And let your dealer do the necessary
inspections. Never clean the vehicle with a high-pressure
cleaner or a steam cleaner, as water may enter bearings,
motor and electronic contacts. Water could damage these
parts due to corrosion and short circuits. Clean your bike
with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Make sure that no
electrical contact gets wet. The contacts can be maintained
and conserved from time to time with a little care oil. Contact
spray is too aggressive and doesn’t preserve. All parts liable to
corrosion should be maintained and preserved appropriately.
Caution! ! During cleaning and lubrication, avoid contact
with oil and fat on the brake pads and disc brake rotors.
The stopping power might deteriorate and could represent
a serious risk.
Please note! ! Always ensure that the tyres are inflated
within the manufacturer's recommended operating
pressure, which can be found on the tyre’s sidewall.
Never go over or under the recommended range of tyre
pressure.
The entire electrical system of your E-bike, such as the
motor, the sensors, the wiring harness and the battery are
maintenance-free. In case you meet unexpected problems
with the system, contact our technical hotline (see chapter 17.
Imprint) or consult an authorised Klever dealer.
Caution! Do not open the motor, the display or the
battery. It is dangerous and this will immediately void
the warranty.
