Maintenance and adjustments to be done by owner
Below you can find the instructions for maintenance and adjustments that you can do
yourself on a regular basis, which will keep your bicycle in top
condition.
Cleaning
The frame of the bicycle can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For areas that are dirtier
you can use a mild detergent. The wheels can be cleaned with a damp brush with
plastic hairs (not a wire brush!) The saddle, seat (except the upholstery) and the grips
can be cleaned with mild soap and water.
Do not use a pressure washer or a steam cleaner!
Cleaning the upholstery of the seat
The upholstery and the back rest of the seat are removable and can be cleaned. You
can wash them in the washing machine at 40°C maximum.
Inspection of the bicycle
After 200 kilometres or after a period of 2 months the bicycle should be inspected.
Check the brakes, the illumination and the spokes. Also check the tyre tread depth.
This should be at least 1 mm. Worn out tyres or possible faulty parts should be
replaced.
Also check the parking brake. With the parking brake pulled up, the bicycle should not
ride away with the cyclist.
The right lubricant
The chain should be cleaned and maintained at regular intervals (every 3 months
approximately). Only use special chain grease or Tevlon spray. This is the only way
to make sure that the chain will run smoothly, will stay water resistant and will not
rust. Wipe the chain with a cloth, treat it with grease or spray and remove any excess
lubricant with a rag.
Other parts should not be treated with a lubricant.
