Basic Bike Care
1. Properly maintain batteries by keeping them fully charged. Never store the battery in a discharged
state. Completely discharging will reduce the numbers of recharging cycles during the battery’s life and
limit the capacity.
2. Never immerse or submerge the bike or any components in water or liquid as the electrical system
may be damaged. Also need to avoid exposing the bicycle to rain or corrosive materials to prevent rust
or damage.
3. Periodically check wiring and connectors to ensure there is no damage and the connectors are
secure.
4. Ensure the frame is kept clean, just need to wipe the frame with a damp cloth. If needed, apply a mild
non-corrosive detergent mixture to the damp cloth and wipe the frame. Dry by wiping with a clean, dry
cloth. Also regularly cleaning and lubricating all moving parts, tighten components, and adjust as
required.
5. Remember to keep the tires inflated if you’re not going to ride your bike for a long time. And inflate
your tires properly, poorly inflated tires are prone to punctures. Look on the side of your tire for a
number followed by the letters PSI. That tells you how much air to put in.
