3.7. Brakes
Work on the hydraulics should be carried out by Modmo or a
specialist workshop. Please contact Modmo Service if the
pressure point of the brakes fluctuates.
3.7.1. Brake pad and brake disc wear
Brake pads and brake discs are subject to functional wear
caused by friction between the two parts. The wear depends
on the riding style, terrain, weather and ground conditions
and may require more frequent inspections. It is
recommended to check the brake pads every 500 km.
3.7.2. Checking the brake pads
The brake pads must be replaced in the following conditions:
• If the brake pads only 2.5 mm thick (width of
carrier plate and friction surface)
• If the brake pads come into contact with oil (leads
to reduced braking power).
3.7.3. Checking the disc rotor
The brake discs must be replaced if they have a thickness of
less than 1.8 mm. The thickness can be determined using a
disc thickness measuring tool.
3.7.4. Cleaning and care
• If necessary, clean the bike with a damp towel. Do not use a
high pressure jet washer or garden hose. Modmo will not be
liable for any damages caused by water damage.
• We recommend removing the battery and ensure the
charging connector caps are installed before cleaning.
• The Gates Carbon Drive Belt is cleaned with water and
does not need to be lubricated.
3.8. Transporting on a car
To avoid damage caused by transporting the bike on the
outside of a car, observe the following instructions:
Attention: The battery can become loose when the vehicle is
being transported on a car roof and poses a risk to other road
users.
• Remove the battery and any non-bolted accessories from
your bike before transporting it on a car on a rear or roof
rack. If you transport the Saigon+ on a car in the rain and at
high speeds, water can get in to the electrical system.
Vibrations, especially caused by wind, can cause damage the
mudguards.
• Use a protective cover for the bike
Attention: Unsuitable bike racks can break during the journey
or may not be completely safe for your vehicle. Check the
maximum roof load in the car's operating manual and the
bearing load in the car's bike rack manual. Li-ion batteries are
subject to the requirements of the hazardous goods law.
Important Information: Private users can transport the battery
on the road without restrictions. In the case of commercial
transport (e.g. haulage), regulations on packaging and
labelling must be observed (e.g. the provisions of the ADR).
