MAINTENANCE
Your bike requires regular maintenance and inspections adapted to your use. Periodic checks must be carried out by qualified, experienced
mechanics.
WARNING, like any mechanical component, a cycle undergoes high stress and wears out. The different materials and components can react differently to wear or fatigue.
If a component's expected life span is exceeded, it may break suddenly, thus risking injury to the cyclist. Cracks, chips and discolouring in high-stress areas indicate that
the component has exceeded its lifespan and should be replaced. To assess this, have parts that wear (including the rims, brakes, tyres, steering and transmission of your
bicycle) regularly checked, maintained and adjusted by a qualified, experienced mechanic. When replacing components, you must use genuine spare parts to ensure the
safety and reliability of the bike.
!
When performing bike maintenance, ensure there is
adequate lighting.
!
All cleaning, electrical or mechanical maintenance
operations must be carried out without power. If
the battery is removable, remove it. Maintenance
operations specific to the bike's electric system
must be performed by trained, qualified staff. If the
chain comes off, shutdown the power before any
intervention.
For more information on use, maintenance, after-sales services or if you have any questions, visit DECATHLON's support website (www.support.decathlon.com) or visit
a DECATHLON store.
BRAKES:
• Brake pads wear out with the different braking operations performed. Braking performance decreases over time, so you need to check your brakes regularly and
replace them if necessary (lining < 1mm). This operation must be performed by a qualified mechanic. A break-in time is required once new pads are installed. To
do this, brake slightly while driving for a few minutes. Be careful to protect the brake discs and pads before servicing your chain. Otherwise, oil may accumulate
on the discs and pads and reduce braking performance. If oil has been in contact with the pads, change them immediately before using the bicycle.
• The brake adjustment should be checked regularly. When replacing the friction components of the braking system (brake blocks, brake pads), the use of original
parts guarantees maintenance of the performance and safety of your bike. This operation must be performed by a qualified mechanic.
SUSPENSION:
Never disassemble the suspension fork. This operation must be carried out by a qualified mechanic.
ACCESSORIES:
Accessories such as mudguards, crutches, bottle holders, frame locks, lighting (list of items to choose from depending on the bike) are subject to numerous vibrations in use.
Remember to regularly check the fixing screws and tighten them if necessary following the tightening recommendations mentioned in the TIGHTENING TORQUE section
of this manual.

The frame, forks and all components must be
checked regularly by our Decathlon after-sales
service. Since gear adjustment is tricky, contact
one of our qualified technicians. And always refer
to the manufacturer's recommendations. If the
bike suers a fall, check the electric components.
If cable, button or frame is physically damaged,
go to a DECATHLON workshop for an electric
test.
Do not clean the bike using a high pressure
water jet. Washing with a damp sponge is
recommended. When cleaning the electric bike,
do not immerse the electrical elements such as
the battery, motor, screen, etc. The charging port
must be properly closed.
After washing: dry and oil the transmission
components (derailleur, lever), suspension,
brake levers as well as the chain.
