MAINTAINING YOUR BIKE
Best Practices
• Store your bike in a clean dry place to avoid rust.
• Keep components tightened to the torque specifications listed in the Recommended
Torque Values section of this manual. Refer to the table of contents at the beginning of
this manual for the page number of this section.
• Ensure the frame latch and handlebar latch are locked in place before riding.
• Clean and lubricate moving parts regularly.
• Clean your bike frame with a wet rag and low residue cleaner. After cleaning lubricate
where necessary.
• Ensure your bike tires are always inflated to a pressure within the recommended range
printed on the tire sidewalls.
• Before each ride ensure all electrical wires are connected.
• The WILDEWAY electric bike is not waterproof. The bike has an IP rating of IPX4.
It is likely that components will not sustain damage in most rain showers, however
WILDEWAY eBikes recommends storing and riding the bike in a dry environment.
Furthermore, water damage is not covered under warranty
.
• Your bike will need to be serviced at regular intervals and after the initial wear-in
period. See the 100 Mile Tune Up and Ongoing Service sections below.
100 Mile Tune Up
Your bike will need to be serviced after 100 miles or 5 full battery charge cycles, whichever
comes first. This is what we call the “wear in period” of the bike. WILDEWAY electric
bikes recommends having service done at your local bike shop by a certified and
reputable bike mechanic. Below is a summary of things to have inspected:
Brakes
Brake cables will stretch during the wear-in period. This may affect braking performance
and the brakes may need to be adjusted and tensioned properly.
Shifting
Shifting cables will stretch during the wear-in period. This may affect shifting performance
and the derailleur may need to be adjusted.
Hardware
Refer to the table of contents at the beginning of this manual for the page number of this
section. If any hardware has signs of damage take the bike to your local bike shop to have
a certified and reputable bike mechanic inspect and replace them if deemed necessary.
Ongoing Service
You should have your bike maintained at regular service intervals at your local bike shop
by a certified and reputable bike mechanic. Below is a general summary of maintenance
that should be carried out on a monthly and quarterly basis:
