3.10 For each ride
If you are unsure whether your e-bike is in good technical condition, take it to your dealer
for inspection and do not ride it. The frame, fork, suspension components and other parts
that are important for your safety such as brakes and wheels are heavy-use parts. This may
affect the safe operation of these components. If you use parts beyond their intended life,
they may suddenly fail, which may result in falls and serious injury.
Before each trip, check that:
■ The lights and the bell work and are properly attached.
■ The brakes are in good working order and locked.
■ The cables and mounting points do not leak if you own a model with hydraulic brakes.
■ That there are no foreign bodies in the tyres and that the tyres and the rims are intact and
run properly.
■ The tyres still have sufficient profile.
■ Suspension parts are in good working order and tightly fitted.
■ All bolts, nuts are tight.
■ There are no deformations or cracks in the frame or fork.
■ The handlebars, stem, saddle and seat post are all properly and securely fastened and in
the correct position.
■ The seat post and saddle are securely fastened. Try turning the saddle or tilting it up or
down. This should not move.
■ If your e-bike has clipless/magnetic pedals, check that they work properly.
■ Pedals should move smoothly and easily.
■ Every time you leave the e-bike unattended - even for a short time - check that the
bolts and nuts are securely fastened.
Also do these checks before proceeding after a fall or if your e-bike has fallen over.
Aluminium parts cannot be safely bent back into their original shape and
carbon parts may have sustained damage that is not visible to the eye .
The modern technology of the e-bike is high tech! Working on bicycle parts requires
specialized knowledge, experience and specialist tools! Do not perform work on your
e-bike yourself. Take your e-bike to a specialist workshop if it requires repair or maintenance.
