9 MAINTENANCE
Turn off the electric engine and remove the battery pack before performing any work
on your e-bike. Failure to do so may result in serious injury and/or electrical shock.
Keep all parts of the electrical system clean. Gently clean with a damp, wet cloth. The parts
should not be immersed in water or cleaned with a water jet or steam jet. If the parts no
longer function, please contact your dealer.
Do not clean the e-bike with a steam jet, pressure washer or water hose. Water can seep
into the electrical components or drive and destroy the equipment.
The frequency of maintenance depends on the driving conditions. Clean the chain or
belt regularly with a suitable cleaner.
Never use alkaline or acidic cleaning products to remove rust. Use of
such cleaning agents may damage the chain, possibly resulting in serious injury.
Have maintenance, repair and overhaul work carried out only by qualified personnel
and only using original parts. In the event of a flat tyre or other
technical problem have your dealer carry out the repairs
10 RANGE OF YOUR E-BIKE
It is best to charge the battery when it is warm and place it just before you leave.
Range data is based on optimal conditions. The following factors can affect the range:
■
Degree of assist: The higher the assistance level applied, the more energy consumption
and the shorter the range.
■
Riding style: You can save energy with optimal use of the gears.
■
In the lower gears, you need less power, less assistance and your e-bike uses less energy.
■
Ambient Ttmperature: Batteries discharge faster at low outside temperatures and therefore
have a small range.
■
Terrain: In hilly terrain, more energy is needed, which reduces the range.
■
Weather and vehicle weight: Besides the ambient temperature, the wind also influences
the range. When there is a strong headwind, more power is needed for riding. Luggage etc.
increases the weight, so more power is needed.
■
Technical condition of your e-bike: Tyres that are too soft increase the resistance to driving,
especially if you drive on a smooth surface such as asphalt. The range of your e-bike can
be reduced by a slipping brake or a badly maintained chain.
■
Charge status of the battery: The charge status indicates how much electrical energy is
stored in the battery at a given time. More energy means a greater range.
