5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
- It is recommended to use a damp cotton cloth or sponge instead of a hose or water jet.
- It is recommended to clean the electric bike after each use. However, you can wash it
weekly. This will help to extend the lifespan of the electric bike.
Use soaps and care products for bicycles that do not attack plastics and seals, which can
-
be found in specialised shops. You can also use a soap solution or liquid detergent. Do not
use aggressive products or strong degreasing agents.
- You can dry clean the electric bike with a cotton cloth or microfibre cloth to prevent
corrosion.
- The battery bracket is designed to allow water to drain off more quickly and the battery
contacts to dry easily. For this to happen, the bracket area and the plug must be kept
clean. The battery contacts are provided with a coating that protects the surface against
corrosion and wear.
Maintenance
Keep tyre pressure between 4.5 bar and 5.8 bar, maintain tyre pressure to avoid punctures. If
you notice any irregularities, take the electric bicycle to a mechanic.
Bike chain maintenance
- Lubricate the chain regularly to avoid annoying chain noises and other problems when
changing gears. Lubricate the chain every 100-200 km or when the chain is dry or dirty. Use
a specific lubricant for bicycle chains, preferably one with a wax or Teflon base. Apply the
lubricant to the inside of the chain while turning the pedals backwards. Remember to clean
the chain before applying the lubricant for best results.
When greasing the chain, make sure that the brake discs are not soiled, and that the
-
sprocket is not engaged. Spray where the chain slides smoothly and wipe off excess
lubricant with a cloth. Only use specific chain lubricant.
- The proper bicycle chain tension is the tension at which you can move the chain slightly
vertically between approximately 1 cm and 3 cm without it being too slack or too tight.
To adjust the gears on a bicycle, follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the bicycle is horizontal and stable.
Shift to the lowest gear on both the front and rear derailleur.
2.
3. Turn the rear derailleur tension adjuster so that the chain moves smoothly over the
sprockets without jumping.
4. Adjust the limits of the rear derailleur so that the chain does not run outside or inside
the sprockets.
5. Shift to the highest gear and repeat steps 3 and 4 for the front derailleur.

To adjust the brakes on a bicycle, follow these steps:
First, locate each of the brakes that are attached to the handlebars of the bicycle, where the
front brake is located on the left handlebar lever and the rear brake is located on the right
handlebar lever.
1. Ensure that the brake pads are correctly aligned with the braking surface of the rim.
2. Adjust the brake cable tension using the adjusting screw on the brake or on the brake
lever.
3. Check that the brakes apply correctly and that the pads make even contact with the
rim when the levers are actuated.
4. If necessary, you can adjust the position of the pads by rotating them or using
washers to achieve better alignment.
5. Regarding the replacement of friction components, such as brake pads, it is
recommended to replace them when they are worn and no longer provide good
braking performance. Regularly inspect your brake pads and replace them if they
are worn beyond the indicator or if they are no longer thick enough.
If you are unsure or unfamiliar with how to adjust the gears, it is recommended that you take
your electric bike to a specialist repair shop.
We recommend that you have your vehicle serviced and maintained once every 6 months by
a repair shop.
