Service & Maintenance Schedule
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 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 loose as best you
can. Walk the E-Bike ,or if you must, ride it with extreme caution, because you now have
only one working brake.
Basic Maintenance
The following procedures will help you maintain your hybrid electric bicycle for years of
enjoyable riding.
Properly maintain the batteries by keeping them fully charged when not in use.
We do not recommend that riding your electric bicycle in the water(damp roads, puddles
,rain, streams, etc.) and never immerse it in water as the electrical system may be damaged.
Periodically check the wiring and connectors to ensure there is no damage and the
connectors have good continuity.
For painted frames ,dust the surface and remove any loose dirt with a dry cloth. Clean and
wipe with a damp cloth soaked in a mild detergent mixture. Dry with a cloth and polish
with car or furniture wax. Use soap and water to clean plastic parts and robber tires.
Chrome plated bikes should be wiped over with a rust preventative fluid.
Store your bicycle under shelter. Avoid leaving it in the rain or being exposed to corrosive
materials.
Riding on the beach or in coastal areas exposes you bicycle to salt which is very corrosive.
Wash your bicycle frequently and wipe or spray all unpainted parts with an anti-rust
treatment .Make sure wheel rims are dry so braking performance is not affected. After
rain, dry you bicycle and apply anti-rust treatment.
If the hub and bottom bracket bearings of your bicycle have been submerged in water, they
should be taken out and re-greased. This will prevent accelerated bearing deterioration.
If paint has become scratched or chipped to the metal, use touch up paint to prevent rust.
Clear nail polish can also be used as a preventative measure.
Regularly clean and lubricate all moving parts ,tighten components and make adjustments
as required.

Keep your bicycle in a dry location which is away from the weather and sun.
Direct sunlight may cause paint to fade or rubber and plastic parts to crack. Before storing
your bicycle for a long period of time, clean and lubricate all components and wax the
frame. Deflate the tires to half pressure and hang the bicycle off the ground. Charge your
