Maintainance & care
Your e-bike, just like all mechanical components, is exposed to
high usage and wear. Different materials and components may
react differently to wear and abrasion due to usage. Using a
component longer than the intended period of use may lead to sudden
failure and therefore injure the driver. Any kind of ssure, tear or color
change on those high usage parts indicates that the period of use as
expired. The according component should immediately be replaced.
Wear parts
Especially check on the following wear parts regularly:
• Tires and tubes
• Chain, sprocket and chain ring
• Brake pads
• Brake discs
• Ball bearings
• Saddle and grips
Inspect the right t of every screw and nut and, if necessary, tighten them
again. Always bear in mind the correct tightening torque (s. table Tigh-
tening torque).
Lubrication
To ensure efcient functioning and a long lifetime, certain parts require
regular cleaning and lubrication. Oils, fats and other lubricants should be
meticulously kept away from rims, brakes, brake pads and brake discs.
Carbon components may under no circumstances be assembled
with grease or other lubricants, as this could reduce friction
between them and therefore lead to material damage due to
higher tightening torque. Please only use special assembly paste when
assembling carbon components. It increases the friction between the
components and therefore prevents material damage.
