precise degree of torque to be applied to the various screws, such as the
material used for the screw and / or the type of thread, the sections and
the thicknesses of the material on which you act and of course the material
of the parts to be interfaced.
The tightening torques are expressed in Newton-meters; remember that
to correctly carry out this operation, a torque wrench is required, which
detaches when the desired torque is reached.

Running-in period
Your bicycle will be more effi cient and will remain in optimal conditions for
a long time with a break-in period before continuous and intensive use.
Brake or gear cables, spokes and other mechanical parts may become
loose in the very fi rst period of use and a change to the service centre may
be required for fi nal adjustment.
We suggest after 30/35 hours of use and in any case after the fi rst 30 days,
to have the electric bicycle checked in a service centre.
In any case, for any problem or doubt that you cannot solve on your own,
always contact the specialized technical assistance centre and do not use
the bicycle in the event of real or presumed anomalies.
We recommend to check the mechanics before each use.
After each long or diffi cult ride on unpaved terrain, in case of exposure
to water or sand and in any case every 150 km.
• Clean the bicycle.
• Lubricate the chain, the freewheel, the gearbox and then remove the
excess oil. You can ask your trusted technician for advice on the best
lubricants on the market and the frequency of maintenance.
• Apply the front brake and move the bicycle back and forth and make
sure everything is in order. If you hear a dull noise with every movement,
there are likely to be problems with the steering: contact the service
centre.
• Lift the front wheel off the ground and turn it to the right and left and
make sure that the steering is soft. If the steering turns stiff , there are
likely to be problems with the steering: contact the service centre.
• Make sure that nuts, bolts, locks and all mechanical and fi xing
components are closed and not worn and / or damaged.
The bicycle and its mechanical components are subject to wear. The
materials of which they are composed have diff erent life cycles. IT IS
RECOMMENDED TO CHECK THE BIKE PERIODICALLY OR AT LEAST ONCE
A YEAR TO EVALUATE THE CORRECT FUNCTIONALITY AND THE STATE OF
WEAR OF THE COMPONENTS AND REPLACE IT IF NECESSARY.
Flat tire
Do not use the bicycle in the event of a fl at or partially fl at tire. Carry it by
hand.
If a tire punctures, release the wheel from the hub to remove it and
defl ate the tire. Remove the tire with the aid of a tire lever to remove it
from the rim. Remove the perforated inner tube and replace it. Infl ate the
chamber slightly and reposition the tire on the rim above the chamber.
20 - 27 Nm
Be careful not to pinch the new inner tube between the rim and the tire.
27 - 33 Nm
Turn the wheel to make sure that the whole tire is correctly positioned
on the rim and that the chamber is completely inside it. Infl ate slowly to
7 -22 Nm
the recommended pressure, checking the position of the tire on the rim.
10 Nm
Reposition the wheel. In case of diffi culty, contact the service centre which
8 Nm
will replace them.
5 Nm
We recommend that you use only a tire lever for this operation. Otherwise,
5 – 6 Nm
using a screwdriver or any other tool, you risk puncturing the inner tube.
10 - 14 Nm
Clean the bicycle
18 - 20 Nm
Dust the frame with a soft cloth, remove the dirt with a damp cloth and
12 – 15 Nm
non-abrasive detergent. Do not use high pressure cleaners. Dry all parts
carefully and periodically apply car wax.
5 - 7 Nm
Clean the plastic parts and tires with soap and water, dry carefully.
6 - 8 Nm
If used on wet or rainy days, carefully dry the bicycle before parking it.
5 - 8 Nm
Do not leave the bicycle exposed to humidity, rain, direct sun. If it is not
5 - 8 Nm
possible to take it to the shelter, cover it with a dark waterproof sheet.
10 Nm
The salt is highly corrosive. If you live or use the bicycle in coastal areas, it
32 – 50 Nm
is recommended to wash the bicycle very often to remove salt, always dry
70 Nm
carefully and apply an anti-rust to the unpainted parts.
34 - 40 Nm
Periodically grease the bottom bracket, the freewheel, the chain and other
parts that need it. Periodically check screws, nuts, bolts, locks to make sure
they are tight.
Bicycle storage
Keep the bicycle in a dry and covered place avoiding direct exposure to
sun, bad weather and salt.
If you plan not to use the bicycle for a long period, before parking it, clean
it thoroughly and thoroughly.
Defl ate the tires in half and, if possible, hang the bicycle and cover it with a
towel preferably made of cotton. Do not use plastic sheeting.
Recharge the battery and keep it recharged once every two months to
prevent it from draining completely. Make sure that the battery charger is
not connected to the power supply or to the bicycle.
The recommended storage temperature for the lithium battery is between
0 ° - 25 °. Avoid storing the battery in too cold or too hot places.
Do not expose the battery to heat sources (+ 35/40 °) for long periods of
time.
Do not leave the battery with condensation that could damage, cause a
short circuit or corrode the battery.
