Maintenance
❖ Cleaning your electric bike
Use any soft brush along with bike/ Automotive cleaner or diluted liquid soap with warm water and a
cloth to clean the frame of your bike, but care must be taken not to use pressurized water or immerse
any of the electrical components; they are rainproof but cannot be immersed in water. The motor can
be cleaned with a damp cloth, but should not be immersed in water. The battery can be cleaned with a
dry cloth.
Note: In salty conditions like the coastal areas it is essential to clean and lube your bike regularly.
❖ Lubrication
• Lubricate your bike’s chain every month or every 200 miles (320 km) or more if riding in dirtier
conditions. The process is:
➢ Wipe down chain and cassette with a damp cloth or degreaser
➢ Add a drop of Chain specific lube to each link
➢ Clean excess lube off with another cloth
• Once a month lubricate all pivot points on your derailleur and the derailleur pulleys with suitable chain
lube.
• Every three months lubricate the brake lever pivots, gears, and chain with suitable chain lube.
Dos & Don’ts
• Don't treat your e-Bike as a dirt-bike! The motor and battery are weatherproof, but not water-tight. It is
ok in rain, but not to submerge in streams, etc.
• Don't power up the throttle while the e-Bike is held stationary. The motor operation for more than a few
seconds, while the wheel is locked/stationary, can damage the motor and controller.
• Don't let others ride your e-Bike unless you have properly explained safe and appropriate use to them.
• Don't attempt to open the motor or battery should your system malfunction unless under the supervision
of the Technical Expert from our company. This will void the warranty.
• Don't use your charger outdoors. It is for indoor use only.
• Do make sure your charger has free air movement around it as it will get quite warm.
• Do treat your e-Bike like any bicycle you would want to last well keep it stored somewhere secure and
away from the elements.
• Do take extra care on the road as you will be traveling faster than you normally do on a bike and your
bike is now power assisted, so will behave differently.
• Important: Your bike will arrive with the battery partially charged. You need to give it a full charge before
use. Just charge and go... then just top your battery up after each use (lithium batteries prefer shallow
discharge). Give your battery a complete discharge and full charge every 3 months or so to keep the cells
well balanced.
