Maintainance & Care
Turn off your Coboc e-bike (“Bike off”, possibly turn off the lights,
too). Always make sure, that your Coboc e-bike is turned off
before performing any maintenance or repair work. The motor
could start abruptly, if repairs are done on a turned on Coboc e-bike or
contacts at the motor plug could be under power. Both could lead to
serious injury.
Do not remove the bottom bracket! The bottom bracket on your Coboc
e-bike is equipped with a sensor that is internally wired with the drive
system. Improper disassembly can cause damage to cables or sensor.
Care instructions
Regularly clean your Coboc e-bike from dirt. Not only does it preserve
good looks but also can it help keep functions alive. Never use hard water
jets like high-pressure cleaners or garden hose to clean your e-bike. Only
wash it by hands and never put it upside down. Electronics and ball bea-
rings are sealed tightly, which allows for regular operation even on rainy
days. However, high-pressure cleaning might cause uids or dirt to enter
through the seals and could damage bearings or electronics.
Always keep your chain greased. This allows for a low-noise operation and
minimizes wear. Make sure to use appropriate chain oil.
Safety Instructions for Carbon Components
We added a high-quality and very light carbon fork to reduce weight and
to rene looks of your Brooklyn FAT.
Components made out of composite material might be damaged at
places not visible at rst sight. Damaged parts may lead to immediate
failure and cause falls. Therefore, having the according parts checked for
functionality or non-apparent damage by the manufacturer is mandatory
after crashes or hard falls. Replacing and destroying the damaged parts is
also an option.
Furthermore, carbon parts need regular visual inspections. Check if single
layers like paint, nish or ber are detaching. Look for changes on the sur-
face of the according parts, like chipping, holes or deep scratches. Make
sure to check if the components are getting softer or less stiff and solid.
If this is the case with one or more components, they should be replaced
immediately.
Special Features of Carbon
Carbon bre reinforced plastic is a lightweight material that has very speci-
c properties. Understanding these properties is mandatory in order for a
hazard-free use and a long operation without defect.
Carbon can be used to build extremely lightweight high-strength and
robust bicycle components, if processed correctly.
However, a disadvantage of this material is, that possible damages might
not be visible from the outside right away, as carbon does not deform
at overload like aluminum or steel might do. The material might keep its
shape even though the inner structure is already damaged. A damaged
structure inuences stability of the component and therefore might lead to
serious falls and injuries. If you have concerns regarding the condition of
one of the carbon components, make sure to visit your Coboc dealer.
If you hear pops, this might indicate defect on a carbon
component. Check the screw ttings on your carbon components
for correct torque regularly. Should there still be audible pops,
make sure to contact your Coboc dealer. Under no circumstances should
you continue using the damaged component.
Carbon components should never be heated up to high
temperatures, as would be the case for powder coating or
stove-enamel nishes. The appearing heat might damage compo-
nents. Also avoid storing your e-bike in a vehicle that is exposed to strong
sunlight.
Care Instructions for Carbon Components
Clean your carbon components with a soft cloth and clear water. If that
should not be enough you might add some detergent or use a petrole-
um-based cleaner.
