Either patch the tube (Follow the instructions in your patch kit), or use a new tube. Reinstall the tire
and tube. Slip one tire bead over the rim. Insert the tube valve through its hole in the rim. Feed the tube
carefully into the cavity of the tire. Inflate the tube just enough to give it some shape, starting at the
valve stem use your thumbs to seat the tire bead inside the rim. Work your way around both side of the
wheel until the entire bead is seated in the rim. Be careful not to pinch the tube between the tire bead
and the wheel rim. If you have trouble getting the last few inches of bead over the edge of the rim with
thumb pressure, use a tire lever and be careful not to pinch the tube.
CAUTION
If you use a screwdriver or any tool other than a tire lever, you are likely to puncture
the tube.
Check to make sure the tire is evenly seated around both sides of the rim and that the tube is inside the
tire beads. Push the valve stem into the tire to make sure that its base is seated within the tire's beads.
Inflate the tube slowly to the recommended pressure, whilst checking to make sure that the tire beads
stay seated in the rim. Replace the valve cap, and install the wheel onto the E-Bike.
WARNING
Riding your E-Bike with a flat or under-inflated tire can damage the tire, tube and
E-Bike, and can cause you to lose control and fall.
BROKEN SPOKE:
A wheel with a loose or broken spoke is much weaker than a fully tensioned wheel. If you break a spoke
while on a ride, you will have to ride home much more lowly and carefully because the weakened wheel
could break additional spokes and become useless.
WARNING
A broken spoke seriously weakens the wheel and may cause it to wobble, striking
the brakes or the frame. Riding with a broken spoke can cause you to lose control
and fall.
Twist the broken spoke around the spoke next to it; keep it away from flopping around and getting
caught between the wheel and the frame. Spin the wheel to see if the rim clears the brake pads. If
the wheel will not turn because it is rubbing against a brake pad, try turning the brake cable adjusting
barrel(s) clockwise to slacken the cable and open up the brakes .If the wheel still won't turn, open the
brake's quick release and secure any looseness as best you can. Walk the FITFIU E-Bike, or if you must,
ride it with extreme caution, because you now have only one working brake.
