MAINTANING YOUR BIKE
Best Practices
• Store your bike in a clean dry place to avoid rust.
• Keep components tightened to the torque specifications listed in
the Recommended Torque Values section of this manual. Refer to
the table of contents at the beginning of this manual for the page
number of this section.
• Ensure the frame latch and handlebar latch are locked in place
before riding.
• Clean and lubricate moving parts regularly.
• Clean your bike frame with a wet rag and low residue cleaner.
After cleaning lubricate where necessary.
• Ensure your bike tires are always inflated to a pressure within the
recommended range printed on the tire sidewalls.
• Before each ride ensure all electrical wires are connected.
• The Lectric XP is not waterproof. The bike has an IP rating of 65.
It is likely that components will not sustain damage in most rain
showers, however Lectric eBikes recommends storing and riding
the bike in a dry environment. Furthermore, water damage is not
covered under warranty.
• Your bike will need to be serviced at regular intervals and after
the initial wear-in period. See the 100 Mile Tune Up and Ongoing
Service sections below.
MAINTAINING YOUR BIKE
100 Mile Tune Up
Your bike will need to be serviced after 100 miles or 5 full battery
charge cycles, whichever comes first. This is what we call the “wear
in period” of the bike. Lectric eBikes recommends having service
done at your local bike shop by a certified and reputable bike
mechanic. Below is a summary of things to have inspected:
Brakes
Brake cables will stretch during the wear-in period. This may affect
braking performance and the brakes may need to be adjusted and
tensioned properly.
