Storing the bike
If the bicycle is not used for a long period, e.g. during a severe winter, it must be protected from
rust. Spray chrome-plated and galvanized parts and details with an anti-rust agent. Places on the
frame where it is difficult to get to and aluminum parts are protected against rust and oxidation.
It is a good idea to store the bike hanging. This relieves the tires and they are less prone to
cracking.
When the bicycle is put into use again, it must be thoroughly dried. If the bicycle is equipped with
rim brakes, it is particularly important to thoroughly wipe the rim sides to maintain optimal and safe
braking performance.
Insurance
It is a good idea to talk to your insurance company to learn how your bicycle is covered.
E-bikes
In the vast majority of areas, an E-bike looks like a normal bicycle and must be maintained in the
same way and at the same intervals.
Manufacturer's references
It is very important to read the manufacturer's instruction manual thoroughly and to follow the ser-
vice intervals and the instructions given on charging the battery and maintaining the various com-
ponents.
The instruction manual also contains important information about special complaint provisions re-
garding the E-bike.
