Maintenance instructions
• After first 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.
IMPORTANT! If you do not use your Ampler e-bike regularly, you have
to charge the battery every 5 to 6 weeks. Otherwise the battery can
be damaged.
• The battery prefers to be stored at a capacity of 40% - 80%.
• Store it in a dry place, especially in winter. This does not have to be
a specially heated room, but we recommend that you do not store
it in places with a temperature below 0° C. Direct sunlight should
also be avoided.
• The charging process should always take place in a dry and not too
cold environment, but always above at least 0° C. The charger
should ideally be stored in your living area.
• It is advisable to give your Ampler e-bike some time to warm up
after a ride in the cold before charging the battery.
• By the way: The battery and motor power cannot fully develop in
the cold. So don't worry about a shorter range on cold winter days,
this is due to the cold and is common with lithium-ion batteries. In
summer, your Ampler e-bike will regain its full performance.
Maintaining your Ampler bike is just like maintaining
a regular bicycle and all professional bike shops can carry out the
maintenance of our bikes.
The first professional check-up should take place after the first 500
kilometres – this will ensure that everything is working as it should.
After that, have the bike service regularly every 3000 km.
If you ride often and don't count the riding distance, make sure to
take it to a professional bike shop for maintenance at least twice
every season, ideally even three times
• Before the start of the season
• Mid-way through
• At the end of the season.
This way, all the important aspects like brake oil levels, and the
condition of brake pads and tyres get checked, and the internal parts
like the crank set and wheel hubs get cleaned thoroughly.
