Cleaning

You can clean the bicycle with lukewarm water and a soft
brush. In this way your bicycle will look as new. Cleaning
the bike on a regular basis will prolong the lifetime. Please
not that an abundant amount of water should not be used
near the electronics and the battery.
Take care that there will be no dirt in between the motion
sensor and the rotating part. When cleaning the bicycle it
is best to remove the battery. Never use a high-pressure
water hose! Many parts of the electric bicycle need oil,
grease or acid-free vaseline. When washed away, you
should bring it back on after the cleaning.

Treatment

Besides regular cleaning, it is recommended to treat your
bicycle properly after cleaning it. We advise you to grease
the chromes parts, uncoated aluminum and all stainless
steel components with acid-free vaseline to prevend
oxidation and rust. Rotation parts need grease or oil. It is
recommended to grease the chain, chainwheels and axes
on a regular basis. Your dealer can do this for you.
In case of belt drive, do not grease your
i
belt. It is intended to run without any
grease. Instead, clean your belt regularly
with lukewarm water.
