After every ride with your pedelec
Check the following parts:
• Spokes,
• Rims for wear and concentricity,
• Tyres for damage and foreign bodies,
• Quick releases,
• The functionality of the gears and suspension,
• Brakes, hydraulic brakes for any leaks,
• Lighting and
• Bell.
After 300 to 500 kilometres ridden
Have the following parts checked for wear and
replaced by your specialist retailer if required:
• Chain,
• Chain rings,
• Sprockets,
• Rims and
• Brake pads.
• Clean the chain, chain rings and sprockets.
• Oil the chain. Only use lubricant suitable for
this purpose.
• Check that all screwed connections are se-
cure.
After 1,000 kilometres ridden
The brake hubs have to be checked by a spe-
cialist retailer and greased or replaced.
After 3,000 kilometres ridden
Have the following parts checked:
• Hubs,
• Headset,
• Pedals,
• Shift cables* and
• Brake cables
by your specialist retailer as well as
• dismantled,
• checked,
• cleaned,
• greased and
• replaced if required.
* Teflon-coated cable housings should not come into contact
with lubricants or oils.
After every rain shower
Clean and grease the following parts:
• Gear system,
• Brakes (excluding the brake surfaces) and
• Chain.
Please note that not all lu-
bricants and care products
are suitable for your pedelec.
Please ask your specialist retailer about
how to correctly apply various products.
By using unsuitable lubricants or care
products, you can damage or impact the
functionality of your pedelec.
Do not allow care products or
oils to taint the brake pads,
brake discs and brake surfaces
on the rims, as this will reduce the per-
formance of the brakes.
