  • Page 11: Removing The Front Wheel

    Wheel Removing the rear wheel is slightly more involved than the front wheel. Because of this Dillenger highly recommends riding with the correct pressures in the tyres as it greatly reduces the risk of getting a puncture. If you do suffer a puncture it can be easier to repair the puncture without removing the rear wheel.
  • Page 12: Tyres

    tyres The inflation pressure of the tyres is very important and has a big impact on the performance and range of any electric bike. Before riding check that the pressure is in-between the recommended pressure written on the sidewall of the tyre. If the tyre is bald or the tread has worn down, replace the tyre immediately as you could get a puncture or loose traction and fall.

  • Page 19 The batteries do not get a memory effect, so the battery can be “topped off” after short rides without damaging the battery. Dillenger recommends the battery be charged regularly. If the bike is stored for a long period the battery should be charged every few weeks. Failure to do so could see the battery loose charge which if left for a long period, can dramatically reduce the capacity of the battery.
  • Page 20: Lithium Battery (Option)

    BAttErY (oPtIoN) The lithium powered version of the Dillenger Comfort features a few upgrades over the standard model, the main difference being the lithium battery.

This means that the lithium battery is much lighter for the same amount of stored electricity.
