every ride and out of the entire life of your eZee bike. How much of
your bike's maintenance you can do yourself will depend on your
knowledge, skill, experience and whether you have the necessary
tools for the job.
Learning from available cycling literature and joining cycling
communities can be an enjoyable way of improving your skill and
knowledge about maintaining bicycles. Beyond this manual, it is
good to consult your LBS and eZee dealer for advice regularly.
