MAINTENANCE WORK

Regular and professional maintenance can ensure optimal and safe use of your ebike.
The following inspections should be carried out in order to prevent any potential fail:
WHEELS
Rims designed for rim brakes provide a smooth parallel braking surface while rims
designed for disc brakes or hub brakes sometimes lack this surface. There should be no
traces of dirt on these surfaces especially grease.
If any traces of grease or dirt are noticed, clean imediatelly.
If during general inspection, the rim wear level indicator is no longer visible, please
contact either a bicycle shop or mechanic for immediate replacement.
If you notice any nothches or scratches on the parallel surfaces of the rim consult a
bicycle shop or mechanic for best repair options.
Spin the wheel freely to check the tire sidewalls and rolling surface. The tire must not show
signs of uneven wear, lumps, fabric plies, missing or torn pieces.
The tire bead must also be checked for irregularities and ensure it stays firmly against the
entire rim.
Check the inflation pressure with a gauge and inflate if required with a pump.
If the inflation preassure is too high release air through the valve. Check the sides of the
tire for manufacturer pressure rating specification
BRAKE SYSTEM
In case of hydraulic brakes, check for any leaks by pulling the break lever and inspecting
visually the complete system.
Spin freely each wheel to check the gap between the brake pads and rim sides (when
using rim brakes) or between the fork legs and rim sides (when using disc brakes).
The maximum allowed deviation is 1mm. If exceeded, the wheel needs truing.
