GENERAL CARE NOTES
DANGER OF ACCIDENT!
• Ensure that no care agent, grease or oil reaches the brake linings, brake disc or
tyres, since the brake performance may otherwise be reduced or the wheels may
WARNING!
slip.
• Never use any high pressure or steam jets for cleaning, since this may cause da­
mage (e.g. electronic and paint damage, damage from rust formation on the be­
arings, etc.). Instead, clean the E­bike manually with warm water, a E­bike clea­
ning agent and a soft sponge.
• Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents, since they may, e.g., attack the paint.
After cleaning, apply commercial E­bike preservation and polishing agents, es­
pecially also to corrosion­susceptible parts.
• In order to prevent rust formation, the E­bike requires care at shorter intervals
in areas with salty air (near the coast) and must be treated with preserving care
agents.
Clean the E-bike at regular intervals (at least once per year), to prevent damage and flash rust. In par-
ticular after rides in the rain and in winter, there may otherwise be rust formation from splashing or
salt-containing water.
STORING THE E-BIKE
If the E-bike is not to be used for an extended period, remove the rechargeable battery. Charge the re-
chargeable battery fully and store it in a dry and cool room. Recharge it for at least 2 hours at the latest
after 3 months.
Clean and preserve the E-bike before storage as described in the chapter maintenance/care. Store it in a
dry room protected against large temperature fluctuations, since this may negatively affect chrome and
metal parts. Also ensure that both the E-bike and the rechargeable battery are protected against outer
influences. Suspended storage of the E-bike is recommended with regard to the tyres.
SPRING CHECK
After an extended period of time without use, perform the items described in the chapter First commis-
sioning/inspections before starting a ride in addition to the regular maintenance work. Specifically
check the functions of the brakes, gearshift, lighting, air pressure and tight fit of the screws, nuts and
quick-clamps. If necessary, specifically also regrease the chain.
