Cleaning and storage
Cleaning
•
Regularly clean your bike - this is also the best way to find eventual
damages on the bike.
• Bicycles should not be cleaned with a pressure washer, with steam or
water jets. These cleaning methods can push sand grains and moisture
into the bearings and cables, thereby damaging the bicycle.
• Clean the bike with warm water and soap to remove grease and dirt. You
can find a suitable cleaning product at your local bicycle dealer.
• Also clean the chain and gears. A clean and greased chain that runs
smoothly increases the life of the gears.
•
After cleaning the chain and gears, lubricate them by using a suitable
water-repellent product.
•
Problems such as dirty or rusty parts, especially when it comes to the
chain, are not included in the warranty. Chains are not immune to rust
and should be cared for.
• Remove residual grease from the tire rim after cleaning and lubrication.
• Remaining grease on the tire rim can reduce braking efficiency.
Storage
• When not in use, store the eBike in a dry place. If it is outside, its life can
be reduced. Therefore, it is also important to protect the bike with an
anti-rust coating. This product can be purchased at your local bicycle
dealer.
• If the bike is not in use for a long period of time, it can be hung on the
wall as it will protect the tyres from damage.
• Clean and prepare the bike before storing and have it checked by a
specialized bicycle mechanic.
• Remember to deactivate the system by turning off the main switch.
• Even though the bicycle can be used in rain and poor weather, the bicycle
must be stored under a roof preventing moisture from affecting the
electrical parts and the motor.
• Remember to protect the bike against theft.
• Remember to charge the battery every month, when the eBike is
stored.
