Cleaning and care
￭ Never use a high-pressure cleaner or steam jet to clean your complete EPAC.
The powerful water jet might damage the electrical drive components and the fine bushing on the other components.
Use a soft sponge or a soft brush to clean your EPAC. As a rule, work with only a little water and keep water away from
the electrical contacts. After cleaning, check the plug connections for moisture and allow them to dry before putting
the bicycle back into operation.
Careful cleaning of your EPAC significantly extends the service life of the individual components. Clean your
EPAC regularly as described above.
Maintenance and repairs
￭ Only entrust your KTM dealer with repair and maintenance of the drive system.
Unprofessional maintenance and repair may damage the EPAC.
￭ Always remove the battery before maintenance and repair.
There is otherwise a considerable risk of injury, as the system could start up due to mechanical actions such as the
application of load to the chain or pedals, inadvertently pressing the push aid and similar.
￭ Be careful not to fold or compress cables when performing maintenance or repair on the EPAC, and make sure that
the cables are not damaged on sharp edges.
Damaged cables present a life-threatening risk of electric shock.
￭ Only use original KTM components, as well as original drive components and batteries, for repairs and replacements.
You are advised to use only original KTM components to replace parts of your EPAC, as they must fulfil certain
characteristics. You should also use only original drive components and batteries by the individual manufacturers.
The use of third-party or unsuitable components may lead to breakage or failure that can cause accidents or falls
with injuries. The use of third-party or unsuitable drive components and batteries can cause the battery to overheat,
ignite or even explode. This would void all warranty and guarantee claims relating to the drive system. Contact your
KTM dealer to select the right replacement components.
￭ Bring your EPAC for its first inspection after 200 km.
Screw connections may settle during the first kilometres of use. Ask your KTM dealer to check the spoke tension and
all screw connections after the first 200 km. Refer to the chapter on
“Maintenance and care intervals” in this regard.
Your EPAC will remain in a safe operational condition at all times if you adhere to the prescribed maintenance
and care intervals. The service life of its components will also be extended.
￭ Be aware that the components of your EPAC are exposed to greater wear. All original spare parts can be purchased
from your KTM dealer.
All components, especially the chain, sprocket and brake components, are subject to increased wear due to the
additional exertion of force by the drive components and the greater weight of an EPAC. Shorter maintenance
intervals must therefore be observed, compared to a conventional bicycle. Poorly maintained or worn components
can lead to accidents or falls and then to injuries. Refer to the information in the chapter on
“Maintenance and care
intervals” in this regard.
￭ Please note that the drive components show slightly elevated resistance when pedalling and emit a quiet travelling
noise due to their technical design.
Elevated freewheel resistance and a quiet travelling noise do not necessarily indicate a technical defect and are
instead due to the technical design of the drive components. An increase in resistance or travelling noise during
operation may indicate a lack of maintenance. Simply contact your KTM dealer.
