10. MAINTENANCE

Make sure you carry out the following safety checks before
riding you E-bike:
Brakes
• Check that the brakes are working properly.
• Visual inspection of the brake linings to check that they are
not worn and that they are aligned to the wheels.
• Make sure that the handbrake cables are attached properly
and that there is no evidence of wear.
Crank and pedals
• Check that the pedals and crank are seated correctly.
• Check that the crank arm is properly fitted to the axle.

Other information

• Make sure that all reflectors are properly fitted and not
covered.
• Note that there is a small box inside main bike box which
includes the front light.
• Do not clean your e-bike with a pressure washer. Water could
penetrate into the motor, cause short circuits and damage
electrical components. Only ever use a damp cloth with a
neutral detergent to clean your e-bike. Do not use acidic
detergents as these could damage the e-bike.
• Do not over-lubricate. If oil gets onto the wheels or the brake
pads, it reduces the performance of the brakes and increases
braking distances.
• Never oil the tread of the pedals. Wash excess oil from the
wheels or brake pads with soapy water. Dry the e-bike before
using it again.
• When you fold the bike and put it in to your car trunk, make
sure you don't damage the front reflector.
• The front and rear light has 2 modes; firm and blinking.
• We recommend you to use a helmet.
Adjustment of brakes
The following tools are required: Allen key 5 mm.
1. Make sure that the wheels are centred and tightened.
2. Loosen or tighten the screw (1) so that the brake pad on
the brake disc comes closer to the inside (more braking
power) - or further away (less braking power) of the brake
disc. A suitable distance is 0,3 mm.
3. The distance to the brake pad on the brake disc surface is
adjusted by tensioning or releasing the cable at the hub (3).
Fine adjustment of the brake lining is made by turning the
wire screw (2) on the handbrake lever. The distance should
be the same, about 0.3 mm.
4. Test the brakes before you start biking.
