ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The E-bike you have purchased is a very high
quality product. When you pick the E-bike
up from the dealer, he has already made
the E-bike ready for you to ride. Neverthe
-
less the E-bike does require some routine
maintenance which is best performed by
your dealer. Only then can the safe operation
of all parts be guaranteed. This will keep you
riding happily and safely for many years.
WASHING AND CARING FOR YOUR EBIKE
Dried sweat, dirt and salt from winter riding
or from sea air can harm your E-bike. There
-
fore we recommend regularly cleaning and
corrosion protection of all susceptible bike
components.
The easiest way to remove dirt and salt is
using a pressure washer but this method has
serious disadvantages, the high pressure
stream of water can push past the seals and
into the interior of the bearings. This dilutes
the lubrication which increases friction that
ultimately destroys the bearing surfaces and
the smooth functioning of the bearing. Also,
decals are often accidentally blown o by
the powerful stream.
ATTENTION!
At fast E-bikes only some compo-
nents can be replaced by different
components. You may risk the loss
of license and assurance for your
fast E-bike. Read more on page x.
ATTENTION!
Only perform maintenance tasks
for which you have the appropria-
te tools and expertise.
TIP!
Note that some cleaning products
may detach frame decals.
DANGER!
Shut off the E-bike drive and
remove the battery before you
start to work at your E-bike.
Unintended activation of the
E-bike drive can lead to injuries.
ATTENTION!
Do not clean your bike using a pres-
sure washer or steam cleaner at close
range. A much more gentle way to
wash the bike is with a gentle spray
of water or a bucket of water and a
sponge/brush.
As part of this regular maintenance,
you should check tire pressure, light
and brake functions and examine the
bike for damage.
