Electric bike washing and maintenance
1. Wash your bike with chemically neutral detergents (such as car
shampoos) and wipe with a dry cloth.
2. Use a grease or similar liquid motor oil to lubricate the chain, brake
cables, shift control cables, rear wheel caliper, steering wheel eccentric
clamps and front wheel.
3. When operating in climates with high humidity and frequent ingress
of water on the bike, it is recommended to lubricate more often. Never
lubricate wheel rims, brake pads or discs to avoid getting grease on the
working surfaces of the brakes
4. Never wash the electric bike using Karcher type high pressure washers.
Doing so will result in damage to the bike and will void the warranty. Use a
soft, damp cloth to clean the frame and accessories.
Range and riding modes
he range of an electric bike is not constant; it ranges from 30 km on an
electric motor without additional assistance, and up to 60 km (or more)
with active pedal assistance in economy mode. The mileage is inuenced
by the total mass (the weight of the electric bike, the weight of the rider, the
weight of the cargo carried on the trunk), the type of road surface (asphalt,
concrete, gravel, crushed stone, etc.), the terrain (uphill, downhill, plain),
wind speed and direction relative to the direction of travel (headwind,
or vice versa, tailwind), ambient air temperature (in cold weather, the
battery capacity decreases), the amount of battery charge, riding style (for
example, starting speed, braking intensity, etc.), tire pressure and so on.
Please take this information into account when traveling. When operating
solely on the power of the battery, you can reach a maximum speed of
up to 30 km / h. In a mixed cycle (the engine is running and you pedal
intensively), you can reach speeds of up to 35-45 km / h.
Brakes control, gear shifting, speed change knob
The rear brake lever is located on the left handlebar. The right handlebar
contains a Shimano shift mechanism and a front brake lever. Always start
braking with the rear brake. Slightly assist general braking with the front
brake.
5. Basic rules for using a bicycle
Attention! To avoid technical problems, you must adhere to the
following rules for using your bike:
1. Keep your bike clean. After riding in dusty, wet or muddy conditions, be
sure to wash your bike, paying particular attention to the cleanliness of
the chain, sprockets, derailleurs, telescopic suspension forks and wheel
hubs. It is permissible to wash the bike with a pressure washer, but avoid
directing the water ow into the area of the moving joints (steering column,
suspension joints, suspension fork oil seals, wheel bushings).
2. After washing the bike, as well as after riding in high humidity conditions,
be sure to wipe the chain and then lubricate. Use specialized bicycle chain
grease The greased chain should be left at rest for 10-15 minutes to let the
grease saturate the chain joints. Then you should wipe the chain down to
avoid the adhesion of dirt and dust. Never use other grease types for chain
lubrication (Litol, Tsiatim, etc.)
3. Do not immerse the bike in water to a depth higher than the middle of
the wheel; immersion of this sort may lead to damage from water getting
into the bearings of the hubs. If this happens, you need to visit a specialized
workshop as soon as possible, where a qualied bicycle mechanic will
recycle the bushings for new grease and remove the remaining water.
We also recommend that after “bathing” the bike, you make sure there is
no water between the tire and the rim. Fluid can enter there through the
spoke holes in the rims.
