TAKING CARE
Service
Technological advances have made eBikes and their components more
complex, thus it is impossible for this manual to cover all of the
information required to repair/maintain your eBike. It’s important to have
any repairs or maintenance that are not covered in this manual, done by
a qualied professional in order to reduce the chances of an accident/
possible injury.
Lifespan
Like any machine, an eBike and its components will be subject to wear
and tear over time. Different parts and materials will have varying life-
spans, and when a components lifespan is exceed, it can suddenly fail,
resulting in serious injury or even death for the rider.
Be sure to check your eBike and components thoroughly for signs of
scratches, cracks, fraying or discoloration as any parts with these kinds
of visible distress may be at the end of their lifespan.
Components may be covered for a period of time through the warranty,
however there is no guarantee that a product will last the term of the
warranty. The lifespan of your eBike and its components is related to the
riding you do, and the care that you take.
A crash or heavy impact can put incredible stress on eBike components,
causing them to wear out prematurely. Components that suffer from
extreme stress can fail suddenly, causing loss of control, serious injury,
or death. Be sure to choose the correct bike for your intended purpose.
