6. MAINTENANCE & REPAIR
6.1. MAINTAINING PARTS
• Electric bikes like normal bikes need regular maintenance. The drivetrain needs cleaning
and lubrication, the brake pads need to be changed periodically, and levers need to be bled if
hydraulic or cables are changed
• In this manual we provide important basic guidelines on how to maintain and inspect your
bicycle. We cannot teach you everything you need to know to properly inspect and service
your bicycle. That is why we repeatedly urge you to take your bicycle to your bike mechanic for
professional care and attention
• Make sure the tires are correctly inated, check them by using a tire pressure gauge
• Your bike should be periodically cleaned, and tires should be changed when tread is below
manufacturers recommended tread depth
• It is very important that you understand the type of wheel securing method on your bike, that
you know how to secure the wheels correctly, that you know how to apply the correct clamping
force that safely secures the wheel. Ask a bike mechanic to instruct you in correct wheel
removal and installation and ask him to give you any available manufacturers instruction
• ENVO bikes have two ways of securing the wheels – front wheels are secured using the hollow
axle with a shaft (“skewer”) running through it which has an adjustable tension nut on one end
and an over –center cam on the other. The back wheel uses a Hex nut and hex key bolts, which
are threaded onto the hub axle
• We highly recommend that you carry a spare inner tube when you ride your bike. Have an
authorized mobile mechanic’s number handy when riding
• Never inate a tire beyond the maximum pressure marked on the tire’s sidewall. Exceeding the
recommended pressure may blow the tire off the rim which could cause damage to the bike
and serious or fatal injury to the rider and injury to bystanders
• We recommend that you frequently check the kickstand and tighten the bolt as the high stress
put upon by the spring can cause the bolt to loosen over time
