INSPECTION BEFORE STARTING
A JOURNEY
Checking tires and wheels
N WARNING
If seated at an angle, valves may break
off while the e-bike is in operation. If
this happens, the tire will suddenly lose
pres-sure.
There is a risk of an accident.
Check the seating of the valves. The val-
ves must extend from the wheel rim at
right angles. Correct the position of any
incorrectly seated valves immediately.
Before every ride, check the following:
• tires and wheels for damage and fo-
reign bodies lodged in the tires. Da-
maged wheels can lead to a loss of
pressure and result in further damage.
• tire tread depth
• true running of the wheels by allowing
both wheels to rotate freely. Out-o-
fround wheels can be an indication
of tires which have burst at the side,
broken axles or torn spokes. Also inve-
stigate any rattling noises and check
bearings and bolted connections if ne-
cessary.
Checking the chain
N WARNING
Inadequately secured transmissions
gears and safety guards may become
loose while the e-bike is in operation.
Incorrectly aligned chain may become
detached from the transmission while
the e-bike is in operation.
There is a risk of accident and injury.
• Before every ride, check to make sure
the chain is properly aligned and
