Service & Maintenance
Some service and maintenance can and should be performed by the owner, and requires no special tools or knowlwdge
beyond what is presented in this manual.
The following are examples of the type of service you should perform yourself. All other service, maintenance and repair
should be performed in a properly equipped facility by a qualied E-Bike mechanic using the correct tools and procedures
specied by the manufacturer.
Break-in Period
Your E-Bike will last longer and work better if you break it in before riding it hard. Control cables and wheel spokes may
stretch or wear when a new E-Bike is rst used and may require readjustment by your dealer. Your mechanical safety
check will help you identify some things that need readjustment. But even if everything seems ne to you, it is best to take
your E-Bike back to the dealer for a checkup. Dealers typically suggest you bring the E-Bike in 30 days for a checkup.An-
other way to judge when it’s time for the rst checkup is to bring the E-Bike in after 10 to 15 hours of use, but if you think
something is wrong with the E-Bike, take it to your dealer before riding it again.
Before every ride:
• Perform a visual safety check and check tyre pressure
After every long/hard ride; if the E-Bike has been exposed to water or grit; or at least every 100 miles:
• Clean the E-Bike
• Lightly oil the chain, freewheel cogs and rear derailleur pulley bushings. Wipe o excess oil. Talk to your dealer about
the best lubricants and the recommended lubrication frequency for your area
