11 Cleaning

› Remove the battery before you clean your
Pedelec.
› Do not use benzine, thinner, acetone or similar
agents in the cleaning procedures under any cir-
cumstances. Also avoid using abrasive or harsh
cleaners.
› Only use household cleaners and disinfectants
(isopropyl alcohol) or water. You can obtain suit-
able cleaning products and additional informa-
tion from your specialist cycle shop. We recom-
mend you clean your Pedelec with a damp cloth,
a sponge or a brush.

11.1 Battery

Make sure that water does not enter the battery when
cleaning. Although the electrical components are sealed,
it is not advisable to clean your bike with a hose or high-
pressure cleaner, as it could cause damage. When wiping
down the battery, be careful not to touch and connect the
contacts on the underside. This could cause the battery to
switch off.

11.2 Motor

Dirt should be removed from the motor of your Pedelec
regularly, ideally using a dry brush or a damp (not wet)
cloth. Do not use running water such as a hose pipe or
even a high-pressure cleaner.
The ingress of water can damage the motor, so ensure that
no fluids or moisture enter the motor at any time during
cleaning.
Do not clean the motor when it is warm, e.g. immediately
after a trip. Wait until it has cooled down. Otherwise, the
motor may be damaged.
If you remove the motor, e.g. for cleaning purposes, never
hold or carry it by the cables, as there is a risk that they
will break.
If you remove the motor from the frame of your Pedelec,
check the plug from the motor and battery cable socket for
dirt. If necessary, clean carefully with a dry cloth before
reconnecting.
