Drivetrain
The drivetrain of the electric bicycle refers to all parts that transmit power to
the rear wheel. This includes the pedals, chain, chain wheel, crank set and freewheel.
Pedals
These help to keep the feet correctly supported and allow the rider to exert pulling force, as
well as downward pressure, on the pedals.
Inspection
Pedals should be inspected every month, taking note of the following areas:
• Check correct tightness into the crank arms. If pedals become loose, they will not only be
dangerous but will also cause damage to the cranks.
• Check that pedal bearings are adjusted properly. Move the pedals up, down, right to left,
and also rotate them by hand. If you suspect any looseness or roughness in the pedal
bearings, adjustment, lubrication, or replacement may be required.
• Ensure that the front and rear pedal reflectors are clean and fitted securely.
**Important:
The left pedal has left handed threads and turns counter clockwise to tighten.
