7. Maintenance
7.1 Inspection and Safety Check
Before every ride and after every 50 miles of ride, the e-bike should be checked regularly following
the checklist as described in Section 4.2. Regular inspections and tuning are crucial to ensure that
your ebike remains safe and fully functional.
7.2 Cleaning
Use a soft cloth with a neutral solution to wipe the dirt off the bike surface. After that, wipe it dry
with a clean soft cloth.
CAUTION:
Do not use high-pressure water jets for cleaning. It can cause water ingression into electric
components, which may damage them.
Do not wash the E-bike components with excessive water. If water penetrates into the
internal electrical parts, it may cause low insulation, and lead to power draining out fast, or
battery damage.
Riding on the beach or in coastal areas will expose your bicycle to salt which is very corrosive to
metals. Wash your bicycle frequently and wipe or spray all unpainted parts with anti-rust treatment.
Damage from corrosion is not covered under warranty so special care should be given to extend the
life of your bike especially when used in coastal areas.
7.3 Lubrication
To properly maintain your bike, it is highly recommended to lubricate the rotating components
regularly.
NOTICE: Do not over lubricate. If oil gets on the wheel rims or the brake shoes, it will reduce brake
performance and a longer distance to stop the bicycle will be necessary. Injury to the rider or to
others can occur.
