Cleaning & maintenance
Keeping your bike clean and maintained comes with many benets. Not
only will your Islabike perform better but it will be safer, last longer and look
great. To do this we have listed some regular checks to help you along the
way. Of course, if you are unsure of anything we strongly recommend you
seek professional advice or contact our technical support team on +44
(0)800 008 6297 or email techsupport@islabikes.co.uk.
Avoid turning your bike upside down and resting on the handlebar/
saddle as this may crush the iWoc Trio controller and cause
irreversible damage to the unit.
Your eIcon bicycle contains electrical parts that could be sensitive to
damage if cleaned incorrectly. Only clean your bicycle by hand using
a wet cloth and do not attempt to shower or submerge the unit.
DO NOT use a pressure washer to clean your bike; particularly on
the surface of the motor, remote control, downtube cable port or
charging port. Use of a pressure washer may damage the seals
protecting electrical equipment inside of your eIcons bike beyond
repair and will void the terms of your warranty.
Moving parts on your bicycle will need lubricating from time to time.
Weather conditions are generally the biggest factor that determine
frequency of maintenance and lubrication. However, it is also heavily
dependent on the frequency, type and duration of riding.
Component Lubricant Frequency
Chain Oil Weekly or after washing / rain
Headset n/a Sealed bearings
Pedals n/a Sealed bearings
Brake uid DOT 5.1 12 months - Service
Bottom bracket n/a Sealed bearings
Disc brakes
One of the most important safety features of your Islabike. It is a good habit
to check the brakes on a regular basis. This should be done depending on
the type, frequency or duration of riding. If your bike has not been used for
a period of time, we recommend a quick check before riding.
Surfaces in or around the brake components will become very hot
to touch during brake operation and pose a very high risk of burning
skin when touched. Always ensure that you leave plenty of time for
the components to cool before touching them.
Brake operation – Pull on one brake at a time and look at the brake pads.
Check to see if they are touching the discs evenly when applied. If the
pads are not contacting the discs correctly, they are uneven, rubbing or
feel spongy to apply please contact our technical support team on
+44 (0)800 008 6297 or email techsupport@islabikes.co.uk.
Brake pad wear and replacement – Brake pads do not last forever.
Eventually they will need replacing. This will depend on the type, frequency
and duration of riding. Brake pads must be replaced if the total thickness
of the backing plate and pad friction material is less than 3mm.
Riding with backing plate and pad friction material less than 3mm
can result in reduced braking performance, crash, and/or death.
Pads tted as standard are organic compound. We recommend
replacing with the same compound to maintain performance.
Brake uid and replacement – The brakes tted to your bike contain
DOT 5.1 hydraulic uid. Your uid will need replacing annually to maintain
performance. Always seek professional advice – specialist tools are
required for this maintenance.
DO NOT ALLOW brake uid to contact skin or eyes. If uid comes
into contact with skin or eyes seek to dilute with plenty water and
seek medical advice.
The X35 rear hub motor tted to your eIcons is only compatible with
rotor sizes from Ø160-180mm.
