for the correct function of the propulsion system. If you do not have a torque wrench, use a normal

Maintenance and Care
We recommend to have the spoke tension of the rear wheel and the torque of all screws checked by your
qualieddealeraftertherst200km(125miles).
In order to ensure extended use of the propulsion system, all plug-in contacts of the system should be
checked every two to three months and cleaned with a soft and dry brush, if necessary. It must be ensured
that no dirt or humidity penetrates the battery docking station when the battery is removed. The electric
motor is a brushless DC-motor that does not have to be serviced.
