As with any mechanical device or machine, you will get longer life and better
performance from your electric bicycle if you adhere to a basic maintenance schedule.
In addition to the items in the “Pre-Ride Checklist” section, we recommend the
following:
• Tires — Check tire pressure weekly. All bike tires lose air naturally over time.
Inflate to 35-65 PSI
• The Chains: Both chains require lubrication whenever they appear dry. Apply an
appropriate lubrication, and wipe off excess as that will attract dirt
• Cables — Each month, visually inspect cable ends for fraying and replace if it is
present. Replace all cables and housings annually.
• Nuts and bolts — Check all nuts and bolts monthly for tightness.
• Cleaning — Clean the bike whenever excess dirt is apparent. Avoid high-pressure
washing, especially near the motor, at places where wires enter/exit the frame, the
battery and wheel/crank bearings.
• Wheels — Check for straightness on a monthly basis, and more often if you have
experienced a rough ride or sudden impact. Have the wheels serviced if there is
notable side-to-side wobble.
• Brakes — Inspect your brakes at least once per month. If a brake lever can be
squeezed all the way to the handlebar grip, there is a basic adjustment that can be
made. Contact us for guidance, or visit http://support.evelo.com/support/
solutions for information. If your brakes are worn beyond this adjustment, either
take the bike to a local bike shop for professional service, or contact EVELO for
additional instructions.
• Tune-Up — We recommend a full-service tune-up annually by a professional
bicycle mechanic.
