10 Cleaning

Remove the battery before you clean your Pedelec.
Never use white spirits, thinners, acetone or
similar agents for cleaning. Non-neutral cleaning
agents can strip the paint and cause discoloura-
tion, deformation, scratches or defects. Also avoid
using abrasive or harsh cleaners.
Only use household cleaners and disinfectants
(isopropyl alcohol) or water. You can obtain suit-
able cleaning products and additional information
from your specialist cycle shop. We recommend
you clean your S-Pedelec with a damp cloth, a
sponge or a brush.

10.1 Battery

Make sure that water does not enter the battery when
cleaning. Although the electrical components are sealed,
it is not advisable to clean your bike with a hose or high-
pressure cleaner, as it could cause damage. When wiping
down the battery, be careful not to touch and connect the
contacts on the underside. This could cause the battery to
switch off. If the battery connections are dirty, clean them
with a clean, dry cloth.

10.2 Motor

The motor of your S-Pedelec should be cleaned regularly
to remove external dirt, ideally using a dry brush or a
damp (not wet) cloth. Do not use running water such as a
hose pipe or even a high-pressure cleaner.
The ingress of water can damage the motor, so ensure that
no fluids or moisture enter the motor at any time during
cleaning.
Do not clean the motor when it is warm, e.g. immediately
after a trip. Wait until it has cooled down. Otherwise, the
motor may be damaged.
If you remove the motor, e.g. for cleaning purposes, never
hold or carry it by the cables, as there is a risk that they
will break.
If you remove the motor from the frame of your Pedelec,
check the plug from the motor and battery cable socket for
dirt. If necessary, clean carefully with a dry cloth before
reconnecting.

10.3 Display

The housing of the display must only be cleaned with a
damp (not wet) cloth.

10.4 Control unit

The control unit can be cleaned with a damp cloth if nec-
essary.

10.5 Charger

Always unplug the charger from the wall socket
before cleaning to avoid a short-circuit and physi-
cal injury.
Make sure that water does not enter the charger when
cleaning.
