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.
General check
Regularly check the following:
• Is the battery fully charged?
• Are the brakes working properly? Are the brakes, bolts and screws still tightened? Is there any visible wear and
tear on the cables? Are the braking surfaces clean and grease-free? Is there any visible wear and tear on the
brake pads?
• Is the handlebar stem still tightened? Is the saddle tightened properly?
• Are the handgrips secure?
• Is the tension on the spokes adequate? Are the wheels straight? Are there any spokes broken? Are the wheels secure?
• Are the tires still at the right tension? Is there still enough profile grip on the tires?
• Do the lights work? Is the bike clearly visible in the dark? Are there reflective strips on the tires and are they clean?
• Does the pedal assistance work properly?
• Do the gears work properly?
• Is the chain tension correct?
• Does the bicycle need a proper cleaning?
• Has the bicycle had a maintenance check-up recently?
