Maintaining Your Electric Bike
Best Practices
• Store your bike in a clean dry place to avoid rust
• Keep components tightened to the torque specifications listed in the
Recommended Torque Values section of this manual. Refer to the table of
contents at the beginning of this manual for the page number of this section
• Ensure the frame latch and handlebar latch are locked in place before riding
• Clean and lubricate moving parts regularly
• Clean your bike frame with a wet rag and low residue cleaner. After cleaning
lubricate where necessary
• Ensure your bike tires are always inflated to a pressure within the
recommended range printed on the tire sidewalls
• Before each ride ensure all electrical wires are connected
• The GIN X is not waterproof. It is likely that components will not sustain
damage in most rain showers, however GIN electric bikes recommends storing
and riding the bike in a dry environment. Furthermore, water damage is not
covered under warranty
• Your bike will need to be serviced at regular intervals and after the initial
wear-in period. See the 100 Mile Tune Up and Ongoing Service sections below.
100 Mile Tune Up
Your bike will need to be serviced after 100 miles or 5 full battery charge cycles,
whichever comes first. This is what we call the “wear in period” of the bike. GIN
electric bikes recommends having service done at your local bike shop by a
certified and reputable bike mechanic. Below is a summary of things to have
inspected:
Brakes
Brake cables will stretch during the wear-in period. This may affect braking
performance and the brakes may need to be adjusted and tensioned properly.
