Once one side of the tire is inserted in the rim, check to make sure the valve stem lines up properly and the tube is 

smooth across the rim and inside of tire. The tube should not be bunched up in any area. 

 

 

Where the tube valve is, slide the second wall and bead of the tire into the edge of time rim. Follow pushing the tire 
wall and bead into the inside edge of the rim. 

 

 

You will get to an area of only a few inches left and you will need to apply pressure to push the tire side wall and 

bead behind the edge of the rim. 

 

 

Once  the  tire  is  fully  inserted,  check  for  any  areas  on  both  sides  if  the  tube  is  exposed.  The  tube  must  not  get 

trapped between the tire bead and rim edge. 

 

 

Locate  the  tube  valve  and  use  your  hand  to  push  on  the  tire  on  the  outside  of  the  valve  to  help  push  the  valve 

further out through the rim. 

 

 

Fill the tube with 50% air and then check the tire bead and rim edge again to see if the tube is protruding anywhere. 
Once you confirm the tube is not protruding, you can fill the tire to your desired air pressure. 

 

 

You are now ready to install the wheel back onto the bicycle according to the previous sections. 

 

Chapter 7: Maintenance and Replacement 

Your new Storm was designed for ease of use and owner servicing. There are no tasks which require advanced skills. 
Most maintenance and replacing of parts were designed to be accomplished by the typical bicycle rider. Please read this 
section to learn how to keep your Storm performing like new. 

 

a)

 

Keeping your bike clean 

Your  new  Storm is an  outdoor friendly electric  bicycle  but should  be kept clean  and free from dirt. Dirt on  and around 
seals  and  drive train components can cause  premature  wear  and  dirt  on paint  and  part finishes can cause  premature 
aging. If storing your bicycle outdoors under the elements, you must keep it covered with a high quality bicycle cover to 

avoid rain, snow or dirt damaging your new bicycle. 
To clean your bicycle, follow these instructions: 

 

Your  bicycle  incorporates  electrical  components;  it  is  advised  when  washing  your  bicycle  you  should  first 

cover the throttle and battery base. Use a plastic bag or a piece of plastic wrap to cover the components. 
Place the bag or wrap around the complete throttle assembly and use a rubber band or tape to secure. The 

battery should be removed prior to cleaning and a plastic bag or wrap secured by tape can be used to cover 
the battery base. If you are planning for a ride after washing, it is recommended the saddle also be covered. 
The saddle has miniature holes where there is stitching and water can seep into these small holes. 

 

 

To wash your bicycle you will need a small bucket of warm water with car soap, sponge, small brush, chain 
lube and a few rags or towels. 

 

 

Rinse your bicycle off with a light spray of water to remove any dirt on the surface. Using the sponge and 

warm  soapy  water,  wash  the  frame  and  frame  components  which  include  the  forks,  handlebar  and  seat 
post. Start from the top of the bicycle working your way down. 

 

 

Once the frame is washed, use the sponge to clean the motor, spokes, chain guard and rims. 

 

 

The tires, pedals, crankset and chain will be the remaining items needing to be washed. Use the brush first 
on the tires  and then  the pedals.  Rinse  the  brush and then  using the  warm soapy  water, clean  the chain 

ring, freewheel and finally the chain. If the chain and drive train are very dirty or greasy, a bicycle degreaser 
should be utilized. 

 

 

After washing, spray the bicycle down with fresh water. 

 

 

Use the rags or towels to dry off the bicycle. Start by drying the frame first, followed by the components, the 
wheels, tires and then the drive train. 

 

 

Once the drive train is dry, use a chain lube to lubricate the chain. 

 

b)

 

Avoid scratching your bike 

Your new Storm is a high quality bicycle has been designed to withstand the elements by utilizing stainless steel, anodized and 
painted aluminum alloys, brass plus galvanized or painted metals. Stainless steel and brass are used in their natural forms and 

can  withstand  the  elements  with  no  additional  protection  required.  The  majority  of  your  bicycle  however  is  fabricated  from 
aluminum  alloys  which  have  either  a  painted  finish  or  have  been  anodized.  Aluminum  does  not  rust  but  can  discolor  and 
corrode over time. The frame has a 3 layer paint finish which protects the aluminum and graphics. Components such as the 

handlebars, crank arms, chain guard, seat post and more have been anodized through an electrolytic process which increases 
corrosion and wear resistance. If the frame or components become scratched, these items could slightly corrode around the 
scratched  area.  Depending  on  the  care  of  your  bicycle,  a  scratch  could  take  month  or  years  for  corrosion  to  appear.  To 

maintain future value and years of beauty, it is best to be careful when folding and moving your bicycle not to scratch the metal 
surfaces. If a surface is scratched, use clear nail polish or black nail polish to cover and seal the scratch. 

 

c)

 

Brake Bed-In and adjustments 

Both brakes on your Storm 

are high performance Avid BB5 disc brakes. The front and rear brakes includes inboard ―Tool Free‖ 

adjusting knobs and barrel adjusting knobs at the caliper for outboard pad adjustment. They have powerful stopping power but 
must be properly adjusted. Adjusting your brakes will be required from time to time due to either the brake pads wearing or the 
brake cables stretching. Both front and rear brake systems are easy to adjust with multiple adjusting points. Please follow the 

instructions below on how to adjust your brakes. You can also review the included Avid BB5 guide included with your starter kit. If 
you are unsure as to a component or installation procedure, please contact your local authorized dealer or Prodeco Technologies. 

 

AVID SAFETY INFORMATION 

Brakes are a safety-critical item on a bicycle. Improper setup or use of brakes can result in loss of control or an accident, 
which could lead to a severe injury. 

 

Avid brakes are a performance product that offers increased stopping power over brakes that you may be used to. This 
greater power requires less effort to lock-up a wheel when braking. A wheel lock up might cause you to lose control and 
possibly cause injury. 

 

It’s your responsibility to learn and understand proper braking techniques. Consult the owner’s manual for your bicycle 

and a professional bike dealer.
