Cleaning
Clean your eBike with water or a mild
detergent and non-abrasive sponge to
remove any excess mud or debris. Never
spray your eBike with pressurized water, as
this can cause damage to seals, bearings
and electrical componentry. Proper
lubrication will keep your drive train running
smoothly and quietly. It is recommended
to clean the chain with degreaser prior to
chain lubrication. It is recommended to use
a biodegradable degreaser. Apply degreaser
to the bottom length of the chain and scrub
with a brush or other specific chain cleaning
tool. Wash off the degreaser with mild
detergent and water and complete with a
final rinse with fresh water. Ensure you dry
the chain following this process. New chain
lubricant is best applied to a clean, dry chain.
TIP: Apply the lubricant to the bottom
length of the chain and hold a rag under
the chain. This will keep the lube from
dripping on your chainstay (frame) or
wheel and make the process less dirty.
Brake pads and brake rotors
Inspect disc brake pads for wear every
month. When the thickness of the
metal plate and pad wear material is
2.5mm or less, they are worn and need
to be replaced with new disc brake
pads. Rotor wear will vary by product
model. This is normal. Change the
rotor when changing the pad material,
or when the thickness is less than
the minimum stated on the rotor.
Suspension
As an integral working component
on your bike, suspension should be
checked prior to and after every ride.
Clean dirt from upper tubes and wiper
seals on you front suspension every
ride to improve wiper seal lifespan
and minimize damage to upper tubes
and minimize lower leg contamination.
It is recommended that a lower leg
service for the front suspension fork is
completed every 50 hours, and a damper
and spring service every 200 hours.
It is recommended that full service
of suspension be undertaken by
your local bike store given the
complexity of suspension systems.
