Maintenance & storage
Besides your bicycle’s regular mechanical
maintenance, for which the requirements
are well described in the generic bike user
manual that was provided with your
bicycle at the moment of purchase, and
the minimum battery care described in
this section, there is no specific
maintenance related to the Power assist
system required by the user. Do not
attempt to open any of the Power assist
system components.
Always remove the battery before
proceeding to regular bicycle
inspection, maintenance, or repair so
there is no risk of injury from an
electrical shock or sudden motor
ignition.
Servicing, maintenance or repairs must
be carried out only by a qualified
technician.
Minimum battery care
As for every battery powered product, it is
good to discharge and charge the battery
at regular intervals. When possible, run
down the battery capacity completely
before putting it to a complete charge.
It is normal for a battery to heat up under
normal use. It is recommended to let it
cool down before putting it to charge.
Do not expose your bike to extreme heat
(more than 40C) or cold (less than -10C)
Never leave the charger cord connected
to the battery’s charging port for a
prolonged period. It should be
disconnected after a complete charge
period, or at least after a maximum of 24
hours.
Make sure to follow the instructions and
to respect the minimum charge periods
described in the section Storing your
power assisted bike when storing your
bike for a prolonged period such as the
off season.
Washing your power assisted bicycle
The bicycle user manual that was
provided to you separately contains a
more detailed bicycle washing
procedure and recommendations. It is
suggested to refer to it.
Never submerge any of the components
of the Power assist system in water.
Always wait for the battery to cool down
before washing your bike. A sudden
change of temperature can damage your
battery.
Wash your bicycle with water and mild
soap. Do not use a high-pressure washer
to prevent water from making its way
inside the sealed components. Make sure
that the plastic protector cap is closed on
the battery charging port.
Keep the battery port and power cord
coupler’s contact prongs and holders
clean. Use a damp cloth to remove grit,
dust, mud, etc.
Disposal
Check with your local waste management
services for the proper way to dispose of
the components of the Power assist
system. Do not dispose of electronical or
battery components with other
household waste.
