8. GREASE
Lubricated elements must be clean. Before lubricating the bearing, after dismantling it
should be thoroughly cleaned and wiped dry with a clean cloth. Then apply a quantity of
grease to the balls of the balls to fill all the gaps.
Excess grease adversely affects the work of the ball bearing - its heating occurs. We
lubricate ball bearings with a grease at the following time intervals:
✓ Every 6 months, the bearings of the front wheel hub of the rear hub bearing.
✓ Every 12 months the steering bearings.
We lubricate the following moving parts of the bicycle every six months:
✓ brake lever axles,
✓ brake lining axles,
✓ brakes,
✓ gears,
✓ moving parts of gears
Special oils and greases should be used to lubricate the shock absorbers. Do not use lithium-
containing greases - they may damage some internal components. In the case of more
complex activities, such as dismantling the fork, replacement of silencers, etc., we
recommend that you consult a professional bicycle service.
9. USING BATTERY AND CHARGER
9.1 BATTERY
ECOBIKE uses high-quality lithium-ion batteries in its bicycles, which are light and do not
cause environmental pollution. It’s a typical source of so-called green energy.
In addition, they are characterized by:
✓ No memory effect when charging.
✓ Large energy capacity at low volume.
✓ Long lifetime.
✓ A wide operating temperature range: -10 ° C to + 40 °.
9.2 IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT BATTERIES
• If you do not intend to use the bicycle for a long period of time, recharge the
batteries to 80% and set aside at room temperature, repeat the operation after
approx. 3 months.
• The lithium-ion battery should be used at -10 ° C to + 40 ° C, humidity 65 ± 20%; stored
at room temperature.
