2. Cleaning your electric bike
Warm soapy water and a cloth can be used to clean
the frame of your bike, but care must be taken not
to immerse any of the electrical components; they
are rainproof but cannot be immersed in water. The
motor can be cleaned with a soapy cloth, but also
must not be immersed in water. The battery can be
cleaned with a damp cloth, then dried afterwards.
Note: in salty conditions it is essential to clean and
lube your bike regularly.
4. 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.
