Maintenance
KUBERG motorcycles generally require significantly less maintenance compared to
traditional gas motorcycles due to having very few moving parts, no gas engine and no
exhaust. Our authorized dealers have extensive experience and know KUBERG vehicles
inside and out, so they can provide high-quality service for your KUBERG motorcycle.
However, service at a dealer is not required to maintain your warranty.
WARNING!
PROPER MAINTENANCE OF THIS VEHICLE IS REQUIRED
Failure to maintain this vehicle in proper operating condition may lead to an accident
resulting in death or serious injury, and/or damage to property. If you have any questions

limited to 70% until the components are able to cool down. If the motorcycle continues to
overheat, the controller will shut off the motorcycle until the components have cooled. This
takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes.
Thermal shutdown of the motor can occur when riding in situations that stress the motor
for a long period of time, such as long up-hills or continuous full throttle operation with no
rest period for the motor or dirt on the motor cooling ribs. For the best riding experience
keep your motorcycle clean.
Weather effects on performance
Very cold weather (-10°C / 14°F and lower) is hard on the motorcycle’s batteries and, as a
result, the battery charge will not last as long as at temperatures around 20°C / 68°F. This
is normal and does not require maintenance or servicing.

and adjustment, including handlebars, levers, axles, chain and brakes. Check the settings
for torque and maximum speed. Check the tires for damage and for proper inflation.
Cleaning
Cleaning and maintaining your Challenger
correctly will provide more enjoyable ownership
and riding experience. By hand cleaning the
motorcycle, you can simultaneously inspect
all of the components. While the motorcycle
components are waterproof, be careful when
washing the motorcycle around the electrical
components, especially the charge port,
controller, battery, motor and a throttle. Do
not disassemble the motorcycle in any way before washing. You are free to wash your
Challenger with a low pressure water hose with clean water.
After cleaning:
1
Lubricate the front fork gliders with an appropriate amount of specialized fork
lubricant spray and remove the excess lubricant using a cloth.
2
Lubricate the chain with the off road motorcycle chain lube spray, spin the rear wheel
by hand at least 10 times around and wait a few minutes for a spray to dry off.
3
Remove the excess lubricant from both chains using a cloth.
WARNING!
Do not disassemble the motorcycle in any way before washing. Using a power wash is NOT
ALLOWED! Do not use cleaners with added salt as it often consists of a lot of phosphates
that can harm the paint and the electronics. Do not use engine cleaners or solvents.
