MAINTENANCE

CARE FOR THE E-BIKE

To ensure safe riding conditions you must properly maintain your e-bike. Follow
these basic guidelines and see a certified, reputable bike mechanic at regular
intervals to ensure your bike is safe for use and fun to ride.
‣
Never immerse or submerge the bike or any components in water or liquid as
the electrical system may be damaged.
‣
Periodically check wiring and connectors to ensure there is no damage and the
connectors are secure.
‣
To clean, wipe the frame with a damp cloth. If needed, apply a mild non-corrosive
detergent mixture to the damp cloth and wipe the frame. Dry by wiping with a
clean, dry cloth.
‣
Store under shelter; avoid leaving the bike in the rain or exposed to corrosive
materials. If exposed to rain, dry your bike afterward and apply anti-rust
treatment to chain and other unpainted steel surfaces.
‣
Riding on the beach or in coastal areas exposes your bike to salt, which is very
corrosive. Wipe down the bike frequently and wipe or spray all unpainted parts
with anti-rust treatment. Damage from corrosion is not covered under warranty
so special care should be given to extend the life of the bike when used in
coastal areas or areas with salty air or water.
‣
If the hub and bottom bracket bearings have been submerged in water or liquid,
they should be taken out and re-greased. This will prevent accelerated bearing
deterioration.
‣
If the paint has become scratched or chipped in the metal, use touch up paint to
prevent rust. Clear nail polish can also be used as a preventative measure.
‣
Regularly clean and lubricate all moving parts, tighten components, and adjust as
required.
‣
Regularly inspect all pre-attached and optional component hardware to ensure
proper torque spec, secure attachment, and good working condition.

SPECIAL CARE FOR THE BATTERY AND THE CHARGER

KEEPING YOUR BATTERY HEALTHY
‣
If you know you won't be using the battery for more than a few days, keep it
charged at about 75% capacity. At 75%, the battery will degrade less than at
higher charge levels.
‣
Periodically check your batteries charge level about once per month and charge
back up to 75% if necessary.
‣
If you want to increase the number of cycles your battery will last for, charge your
battery to 100% a few hours before you plan to ride it. For example, if you ride
