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 hub mounting nuts 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.
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.
Where possible, we recommend using non-petroleum based environmentally friendly cleaners and lubricants; ask your dealer for advice.
* Note that frequency depends greatly on how many kms the bike is riding, what sort of riding
(dry, wet, dust, etc) it is doing and how it is stored. The frequency stated in this table is for a guide
only. Your dealer can provide advice and also will carry out lubrication at regular service intervals.
