SERVICE & MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Some service and maintenance can and should be

performed by the owner, and require no special tools or

knowledge beyond what is presented in this manual.

The following are examples of the type of service you should

perform yourself. All other service, maintenance and repair

should be performed in a properly equipped facility by a

qualified E-Bike™ mechanic using the correct tools and

procedures specified by the manufacturer.

Break-in Period

Your E-Bike™ will last longer and work better if you break it

in before riding it hard. Control cables and wheel spokes may

stretch or seat when a new E-Bike™ is first used and may

require readjustment by your dealer. Your mechanical safety

check (Chapter Three) will help you identify some things that

need readjustment. But even if everything seems fine to you,

it’s best to take your E-Bike™ back to the dealer for a

checkup. Dealers typically suggest you bring the E-Bike™ in

for a 30 day checkup. Another way to judge when it’s time for

the first checkup is to bring the E-Bike™ in after 10 to 15

hours of use. But if you think something is wrong with the E-

Bike™, take it to your dealer before riding it again.

Before every ride:

• Perform the mechanical safety check described in

Chapter Three.

After every long or hard ride; if the E-Bike™ has been

exposed to water or grit; or at least every 100 miles:

• Clean the E-Bike™.

• Lightly oil the chain, freewheel cogs and rear

derailleur pulley bushings. Wipe off excess oil.

Lubrication is a function of climate. Talk to your

dealer about the best lubricants and the

recommended lubrication frequency for your area.

After every long or hard ride or after every 10 to 20 hours

of riding:

• Squeeze the front brake and rock the E-Bike™

forward and back. Does everything feel solid? If you

feel a clunk with each forward or backward

movement of the E-Bike™, you probably have a

loose headset. Have your dealer check it.

• Lift the front wheel off the ground and swing it from

side to side. Feel smooth? If you feel any binding or

roughness in the steering, you may have a tight

headset. Have your dealer check it.

• Make sure all bolts, nuts and mounting hardware are

tight.
