Post Assembly Verification
After eBike has been successfully assembled (and before
every ride), check the eBike for the following:
• Tires are aired up and not flat.
• Wheels spin freely of guards.
• Axles are tight and secure so wheel will not fall out.
• There is no play in the wheel bearings
• The spokes are correctly tensioned
• The chain is lubricated
• The pedals are tight.
• Check all key bolts are tight: stem bolts, seat clamp bolts
etc. Vibrations occur when riding eBike that can lead to
bolts loosening (Even bolts with thread-lock on)
• Make sure the saddle is at the correct riding height and
position. Check it is not beyond the minimum insertion
mark.
• Check brake functionality; pull the levers and ensure the
pads engage with the rim or disc and spring back so they
are not touching when the bike is moving.
• Check for signs of material fatigue. Deformations,
fractures, cracks, signs of impact, etc.
NOTE: DO NOT ride eBike even if just one of the
defects is present and consult preferred bicycle service
technician.
