WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE
Warranty
To keep the warranty on your Babboe cargo bike, it is important to get your bike serviced
within the first 4-12 weeks or after 100 km of heavy use to check if the main components
(including gears, spokes and brakes) are all working effectively. This can be done at your
local bike shop or Babboe dealer.
Maintenance
Even though the electric Babboe cargo bike contains high-quality components, it is very
important to keep it well maintained. Lubricate moving parts on a regular basis and ensure
that the cables remain flexible, for example, during cold spells of frost. At the back of this
manual is a maintenance overview. Keep the receipts for the warranty for the maintenance
and inspection.
Maintenance of the wooden cargo box
The box is resistant to the Dutch climate. However, we still recommend that you always use a
rain cover, rain tent or cargo bike cover. This will protect the box against the various weather
conditions. It will also, for example, protect the cargo bike against damage from children
climbing in and out of the box. Damage to the paint makes the wood more vulnerable to
moisture. If damage occurs, treat it with a clear coating of varnish suitable for outdoor use.
This will prevent moisture from penetrating into the wood.
Cleaning
To make your Babboe cargo bike look new again, you can clean it by firstly brushing it with
a soft brush to remove the dirt and then washing it with warm water. Regular cleaning
of the Babboe cargo bike promotes longevity. Beware of excessive use of water around
the electronics and battery. Make sure the area between the sensor plate in the sensor
(by the bottom bracket) is not dirty. When cleaning the cargo bike it is advisable to remove
the battery. Never use a high-pressure cleaner! Many parts of the Babboe cargo bike
require oil, grease or vaseline. Do not wash these substances away or apply them again
immediately after washing.
Treatment
Besides regular cleaning, it is recommended to treat certain parts of the cargo bike
immediately after cleaning. We recommend that you grease around chromed parts, uncoated
aluminium and stainless steel parts with acid-free vaseline to prevent oxidation and rust.
Rotating parts require grease or oil. It is advisable to periodically lubricate the chain,
sprockets and shafts. To prevent corrosion, we recommend that you regularly mend any
damage to the paintwork.
