Maintenance

• Check the chain tension – if it has slackened over time (it looks

saggy), get it adjusted. If you feel you are not right for the job, you

can easily get it done in your local bicycle shop.

• Replace he chain before the wear is reached to 0,75%

• Making sure your chain is lubed will prevent unexpected and pre-

mature wear to the drivetrain.

• If the chain feels a little dry, clean it with a rag and then add some

chain lubricant. Spin the pedals around a couple of times to spread

the lubricant evenly.

• A carbon belt drive does not need any oil, however needs to be

cleaned after riding in dirty conditions with water. You can apply a

thin coating of dry silicone spray to the tooth side of the belt if

necessary.

• Avoid using the lubricant on brake pads, rotors or rims. Spray is not

recommended, use liquid oil.

• Check the brakes regularly – they should be cleaned and adjusted.

• Over time the disc brakes get less effi cient at breaking. To stay safe,

get your brakes inspected, serviced and changed if necessary by a

professional workshop.

• Squeezing your brakes down should feel solid and consistent – the

lever should not touch the handlebar. If you feel that your brakes

aren't effective, get a professional to check them out.

• Take a good look at the brake pads on your bike every few weeks to

see how they are holding up. There shouldn't be any dirt or oil on

the pads. Often times, the brakes will make a howling noise if

there's oil on them.

• Check the brake hoses for wear and tear – if you can see that the

house is crumbling or broken in any place, get it checked immedia-

tely by a professional.

• After fi rst couple of weeks check the bolts and nuts. If there is too

much play in the bolts, tighten them up a little bit and see if you can

identify the cause of the looseness. Don't tighten the bolts too far.

• Re-tighten the bolts on the handlebar if needed.

• Check the crank bolts (8 mm hex key, not included), tighten them if

needed.

Re-tighten the pedals, using the key that came with the bike.

• Re-tighten the bottom bracket eccentric bolts.

• If you're not riding and charging your bike consistently, charge it

every fi ve–six week or so to maintain the state of the battery. Due

to Bluetooth the bike has a little power consumption even when

switched off.

• Do not keep the bike in blazing sun or freezing cold over the exten-

ded period if it is not being used.

• Make sure the charging socket and the magnetic plug are dry and

clean before you plug in the charger.

• Store the bike in a dry place over the winter – it doesn't need to be

heated, however below 0 is not recommended.

• Charging the battery should take place indoors (above 0 degrees) or/

and in dry environment. Do not keep the charger outside.
