Maintenance
IMPORTANT! Do not attempt to open the casings of the battery, motor or controller. It could
be dangerous and all warranties will become void. If you experience a problem, contact our
service department or your FreegoEV retailer.
Lubrication
• Lubricate all pivot points on the derailleur (if there is) and chain with light oil or chain lube
on a regular basis. Do not over oil, excess oil can get on tires or brake surfaces. Every 2 years,
re-grease the headset bearings, front wheel bearings and pedal bearings.
Brakes
• Brake levers should lock the wheels when compressed half way between their open
position and touching the handle bars.
•Regularly inspect the brake pads for wear. If the brake pads have reached the wear limit
of 1mm, replace them immediately. Steps: remove the caliper from the fork leg, complete
with the mount adapter by removing the Allen caliper xing screws. The pads can then be
removed by removing the split pin (which passes through the tabs of the brake pads) Then
lift the pads complete with the spring out of the rotor slot in the caliper body. Warning! Do
not loosen any other screws on the caliper. To ret the pads, hold the pads complete with
spring as an assembly and insert into the caliper slot with the metal backing towards the
pistons. Ret the pad retaining split pin ensuring it passes through the holes in the pad tabs
and through the hole in the spring and bend one side of the split pin to secure it in place.
Ret the caliper loosely using the Allen screws, apply the brake lever and tighten securely
whilst continuing to apply the brake lever.
Warning! If you are unsure about any part of the brake installation process you should seek
advice from a qualied mechanic.
Caution! The pads and rotor must be kept clean and free from oil. If the pads become
contaminated, you must discard them and replace them with a new set. A contaminated disc
should be cleaned with a proprietary brake cleaning solution.
• Mechanic brake is tted to the front wheel of some batches of FreegoEV DK200.
• Hydraulic brake is tted to the rear wheel (and some batch of the upgraded version of
front wheel), you need to check the brake oil level and add mineral oil sometime
Rims and spokes
• It is essential to have your spokes checked and tightened after 500 km. Just tap them
with a pen or pencil you will quickly tell if any are loose. Handlebar and saddle tubes should
never be raised beyond the maximum permissible, indicated by a safety line around the
tubes.
