Maintenance
• The power panel of the bike is washable and water-
proof. Now and then clean (non-metallic tool) and
lubricate the charging port with a multi-purpose oil
(for example multi-spray).
• Avoid using pressure washers, as the pressure dri-
ven water will get dirt, sand and dust particles in-
side tiny compartments, causing rust and problems
later down the line.
• Check the tyre pressure regularly. You can always
check the recommended tires pressure noted on
the side walls of the tires.
• Keeping the tires inflated to the recommended
pressure will keep the battery range high, protect
the rim and tire from damages.
• Look out for tire wear. Depending on how and where
you ride your bike, the tyres can wear at a different
pace. If you see that the tread looks worn out,
change your tyres.
• If it gets icy, get some winter tyres – we can give you
some suggestions for which ones work best the
different models.
• 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 unex-
pected and premature 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 sili-
cone 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 efficient at
breaking. To stay safe, get your brakes inspected,
serviced and changed if necessary by a professional
