5. Other Maintenance
Your bicycle must be returned to your servicing
dealer or bicycle/motorcycle mechanic after one
month or 200km of riding (which ever comes first)
to re-tension the spokes. Then every six months
or 1000km (which ever comes first) for a general
service and thorough inspection. Failure to do this
can void your warranty due to unnecessary wear
and tear.
Excluding the electric drive side of things, your
SmartMotion bicycle is a normal bicycle, with
normal components. Your dealer will be able to
explain to you the general care and maintenance of
the normal bicycle components. You should pop
your bike in for a check-up after about a month’s
use as new gear and brake cables will stretch, then
every 6 months after that.
The electric drive system is maintenance free and
has self-diagnostic codes that will be displayed on
the LCD console (detailed later in this user guide)
should anything go wrong. Again, speak to your
dealer should any issues arise.
4. Maintenance & Adjustment
Frame Lock- Essence only
The SmartMotion Essence has been upgraded
with an integrated frame lock. Your new bike will
come with a set of keys for the battery lock and a
set of keys for the frame lock. Make sure you keep
a master key from each in a safe place so you can
always get more copies made.
Suspension Seatpost - Essence only
The SmartMotion Essence comes with a
suspension seatpost. For optimum performance
you need to set the preload so when your
weight is fully on the seat the spring is
depressed about 30-40%. Test the travel, then,
if you need to adjust, remove the seatpost and,
with a 5mm allen key, screw the shock up into
the seatpost to increase spring pressure, or
back down to reduce it.
Your dealer can also set this up for you.
The bike has been fitted with a quick release
seatpost collar to facilitate changing the riding
position.
It is important that the nut on the collar is
tightened so the post will not move in the bike
frame.
Make this adjustment with the quick release
lever in the open position.
Adjust the seat to the correct height and close
the lever. When you sit on the saddle there
should be no vertical movement at all in the
seat post below the suspension.
