Check whether the battery plug is properly installed, and whether the positive and negative electrodes are installed correctly.
If no fault is found, take the bike to your dealer to check if the display and/or controller and/or harness are faulty.
8. Bicycle Inspection and Care
Regularly clean your bike. It’s a good way to notice any problems before they cause damage.
8.1 Regular Cleaning & Storage
Wipe any dirty painted or plastic parts with a soft, damp cloth and a neutral cleaning solution. Carefully dry the parts with a soft, dry cloth to finish.
DO NOT use water to clean the electrical components as this could result in personal injury or malfunction of the bicycle.
DO NOT grease or use a greasy cloth to wipe down the electrical connectors, brake pads, wheels, tyres or plastic parts.
DO NOT use a pressure washer as this can force water into the electrical components.
Always dry the bike with a soft, dry cloth after riding in or exposure to rain.
Keep your e-bike in a dry and well-ventilated area when not in use.
8.2 Regular Maintenance (every 1-2 months)
Regularly check the handlebar, stem, saddle, pedal, crank and freewheel mounting bolts are torqued correctly.
Check the seat post is correctly inserted (past the minimum insertion line) and tightened.
Check the wheel quick releases are correctly tightened.
Check the wheel rims are not cracked and that no spokes are loose or broken.
Check the tyres are not worn or cut and are correctly inflated for the type of riding you do.
Check the front and rear brakes operate correctly.
Check the cables are sufficiently greased, and that the brake pads are in good condition.
Check the frame welds are in good condition and are free from corrosion or oxidation.
WARNING: Never open the motor casing should you have a malfunction. Contact your dealer.
8.3 Lubricating the Bike
To maintain your electric bike in proper working order, be sure to carry out regular lubrication.
The axles, bottom bracket, freewheel and the headset should not be hosed with water. Gently clean with soft, damp cloth and neutral cleaner If necessary, add grease or oil.
Use specific transmission lubricant for the chain, freewheel and gears every month, or if the drive train is dry at any time.
Do not lubricate or grease the brake pads, wheel rims, tyres or plastic parts.
A general application of anti-corrosion lubricant can also be used on all other steel parts, to avoid rust.
