4. MAINTENANCE
4.1 SERVICE
A thorough service of the bicycle means that a bicycle mechanic adjusts, tightens and lubricates all moving parts. After that, we
recommend that you carry out maintenance yourself at regular intervals, depending on how often and how far you ride. Below is a
checklist for future service inspections:
1. Inspection, which must be carried out no later than 2 months after the date of purchase. Includes the following: Adjustment,
tightening and lubrication of moving parts.
2. Service inspection which should be carried out approx. 1 – 2 times per year or after 1000 km (must be documented) includes the
following: Adjustment of steering parts, crankshaft, gearbox, front axle, lubrication of external moving parts and safety check of tire
depth and tire pressure (tire pressure should be 3 – 4 bar), lights (test cables or batteries), as well as a general safety check of the
rest of the bike.
4.2 TIRES
When the tires are worn or damaged, they must be replaced before continuing to ride the bike. Fill with air once the week with
frequent use. It is very important that the tires have the correct air pressure before use. The tires has about 2 bar of air pressure
from the start and will puncture if you don’t ll them with air. You should have between 3.4 – 4 bar (50 – 60 psi), but it is important to
check the side of the tire for the recommended pressure. Correct air pressure gives better range, top speed, acceleration, climbing
ability and ride comfort. Most importantly: It drastically reduces the risk of puncture.
• Punctures are not covered by complaints, with the exception of manufacturing defects. In the event of a puncture, due to diffe-
rent air pressures i the tire and the surrounding area, air will seep out at the valve as this is the only opening for the air to escape
by. This usually does not mean that the valve is defective. To check if the valve is defective, the hose must be removed and kept
under water. Then see where the air leaks out of the hose
• Avoid kerbs, jumps, uneven weight distribution and ll up with air to avoid punctures
• You can order spare parts at www.e-wheels.no/www.ewheels.se
• Make it a habit to look over the bike, check the air pressure and see if all visible screws are properly seated. It is very important
that all visible screws are properly tightened. We recommend doing this every week, regardless of how much the bike is used
