Service life and warranty

7.6.1 of the drive

The Groove hub motor is a durable maintenance-ree
drive. It is a wear part with a two-year warranty. As its
power output is higher, wear parts such as the tyres and
brakes are subject to higher loads than they would be on a
normal bike. Due to the greater force acting on these com-
ponents, wear is more pronounced.
7.6.2 of the battery
Batteries are wear parts. Wear parts come with a two-year
warranty.
If the battery develops a fault during this period, your
specialist cycle shop will of course replace it. Normal age-
ing and battery wear do not constitute a fault.
The service life of the battery depends on diferent factors.
The most important wear-relevant factors are
the number of charging cycles and
•
the age of the battery.
•
According to the technical deinition, the battery is used if
its capacity is only 60% in the new condition.

The battery of course also ages over time. Even if you do
not use your battery, its capacity reduces. In general, the
battery is expected to age at a rate of 5% per year.
Providing you can still cover the journey distances with
the remaining battery capacity, you can of course continue
using it. If the capacity is no longer suicient, you can
take your battery to a specialist cycle shop who will dis-
pose of your battery and sell you a new one.
› You can extend the service life of the battery by ul-
ly recharging it ater every journey, however short.
The Groove Li-Ion battery has no memory efect.
› You can also extend the service life of the battery
by using the assist levels selectively. Avoid riding
with a high assist level when you are only gently
turning the pedals.
