A crash can prevent your eBike from
functioning correctly and can also cause
damage. After a crash you may not be able to
use your bike again immediately. For this
reason, you should carry out the following
checks.
Wheels and tyres
Check your wheels. They must be held firmly
in position in the wheel mounts by the quick
release lever or the bolts and must be in the
centre of the front wheel fork and the rear
triangle. They must turn freely and run true.
Check your tyres and, in particular, the
carcass for damage.
Risk of injury!
If you do not have the necessary technical
knowledge or do not carry out the check
correctly, you could be injured.
- Wear protective gloves.
- Keep your fingers away from moving parts
and make sure they do not get trapped.

Handlebars and stem
Check the handlebars and stem for damage.
Make sure that the handlebar and stem
cannot be turned in opposite directions. If the
components can be turned in opposite
directions, tighten the bolts with a torque
wrench (see the section “Recommended
tightening torques” on page 72).
