Q: What kind of routine maintenance is required?
A: We use sealed bearings throughout our Bikes so lubrication is not
needed. The most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your
perspiration off the Bike after each use.
Q: Will the magnets wear out over time?
A: No, we use permanent magnets that will retain their braking force
indefinitely in this application. One of the big advantages of a magnetic
brake is its long life since there is no physical contact between the flywheel
and the magnet surface.
Q: How long will the drive belt last?
A: The computer modeling we had done indicated virtually thousands of
maintenance-free hours. These belts are now used in far more demanding
applications such as motorcycle drives.
