Use low pressure water only. Pressure washers have way too strong a waterjet which might damage the most
sensitive parts (pads, electrical components).
If your e-bike is very dirty, we suggest you get equipped with the following tools:
Agressive detergents may spoil the paint and corrode the most sensitive components. Using aggressive
detergents voids the warranty.
A low pressure hose or a cold water dispenser. Avoid too strong waterjets which may damage the e-bike
components.
Place your e-bike upright. Soak it by dropping water from above, almost with no pressure; spray the detergent and let it
work during a few minutes, to loosen the dirt. Meanwhile clean the drivetrain system. Spray a specific degreaser making
sure it reaches every spot in order to remove all oil, dust and dirt residues. Let it work for a while, then clean the chain.
Use a brush to remove the stubborn dirt. Rinse the e-bike to remove the first layer of grime. Repeat the operation with a
soapy sponge. The electric motor can be cleaned with some water taking care not to soak it. Use a soft microfibre cloth to
dry the e-bike.
A bucket in which you can dilute the cleansing soap.
A soft sponge, 2 paintbrushes (a medium and a small one, you can also use an old toothbrush), a stiff bristle
brush for rims and tyres, a dry microfibre cloth.
A chain cleaning kit or a toothbrush.
A specific bicycle detergents kit: a degreaser for the tougher parts, a less aggressive cleansing soap for the
most sensitive parts such as the frame, a lube to lubricate the chain when done with washing.
