STORING YOUR EBIKE
If you regularly maintained your bike during
the season, you won’t need to perform any
special preparations to store it on a short
term basis. It is recommended to store the
bike in a dry, well-ventilated area.
OVERWINTERING YOUR EBIKE
When storing your bike for the winter, there
are some things to consider:
• During extended storage the tires may
gradually lose air. If the tire remains flat for
an extended period, it could damage it.
• Clean the bike and protect it against corro
-
sion as previously described.
• Store the bike in a dry place.
• Switch the derailleur to the smallest
sprocket so the cables and springs are as
relaxed as possible. For Shimano hub gears,
shift to the first gear.

TIP!
In the winter months when most
bike dealers aren’t very busy, many

checks. Take advantage of these
seasonal offers and bring your
E-bike to the dealer for inspection.
