4. MAINTENANCE
4.1 SERVICE
We recommend that you perform regular maintenance yourself depending on how often you ride:
• Check the tire air pressure.
• Check if all the lights and electronics are working properly.
• Fully charge the bicycle.
• Overall check of the bolts/screws.
• Check if all the functions are working.
• Check that the gears are properly adjusted.
A service inspection should also be carried out at regular intervals. This includes the following:
• Check all bearing systems: hubs, bottom bracket, headset and pedals.
• Check all brake and gear cables + cable housing for breakage, rust, corrosion.
• Check brake pads and the hydraulic system for leaks.
• Clean and check wheels carefully for signs of misalignment, wear such as worn sidewalls or cracks where the spoke touches the
rim or hub.
• Check the hubs for play.
• Check the pedals and pedal bearings.
• Maintain/Check/Lube the suspension components according to the suspension type.
• Check basket, carriers and accessories - be sure attachments and bolts seem in OK condition.
• Check the whole drivetrain (motor, cassette, chainring, derailleur, chain)
• Check all the electronics and its functions.
• Tires wear and their overhaul conditions.
Similar to a traditional bicycle, there are many moving parts on an electric bicycle that need to be taken care of in order to function
optimally and to have a long life. And just like a car, your e-bike should undergo a more thorough service at a bike mechanic. A
bike workshop will also be able to update software and reset the service counter.
