Travel
What travel restrictions are there on the bike?
Lithium ion batteries are considered dangerous goods by most airlines and courier
companies. Specific regulations vary based on origin location, destination, and airline
or courier. To travel by air with the bike, the battery should be shipped separately.
Please be sure to contact your courier or airline for full details prior to confirming
travel plans.
Are eBikes allowed in all jurisdictions?
There are no restrictions on eBikes in Canada. In the US, each state and many cities
have different jurisdictional regulations. The Subito is classified as a Class 1 eBike, and
associated regulations apply. We encourage you to check local regulations
in your destination city to be sure you comply.
Maintenance
and Storage
I have a rear flat. How do I change the tire?
The Ebikemotion motor is located in the rear hub, so rear tire changes involve
a few extra steps. First, power off your bike. You will then need to disconnect
the power to the motor. On the non-drive side chain stay, you will find the power cord
to the rear wheel, which can be easily unplugged.
The Subito features a bolted axel, so you will need an 8mm Allen key to remove
it. Unscrew the nut from the drive side and completely remove it and the washer
underneath it. Repeat this on the non-drive side, and while you don't have
to completely remove the nut and washer to get the wheel out, you may find it easier
to reinstall the wheel if you do so. Remove the wheel as you normally would,
and proceed to fix your flat.
To reinstall the wheel, take care with the slotted axel and the disc calipers.
As you slot the wheel back in, make sure the power cord on the non-drive side is
pointed straight down and doesn't get caught up in the wheel during reinstallation.
Also be sure to properly align the disc rotor within the calipers.
Once the wheel is in place, reverse the procedure with the washers and bolts,
and reconnect the power cord. You will see small arrows on the power cord cables
which should be lined up so that they connect properly.
How often does my Subito need maintenance?
We recommend that all bikes be serviced once a year, to make sure they remain
in premium form and check that all components are functioning smoothly.
Your Subito is no exception. Make sure you take your Subito to an authorised
Argon 18 retailer where staff are familiar with eBikes.
