MAINTENANCE
Your bicycle requires regular maintenance, not only for your safety but also to prolong its useful life. It is
important to periodically check the mechanical elements in order to replace worn-out components or
components showing signs of wear if necessary.
When replacing components, it is important to use original brand parts in order to preserve the bicycle's
performance and reliability. Make sure to use appropriate spare parts when it comes to the tyres, inner
tubes, gear system components and the various brake system components.
It is the user's choice whether to use different parts to the original ones.
WARNINGS: Always remove the battery before performing any maintenance.

Cleaning
In order to avoid corrosion on the bicycle, it should be rinsed in fresh water after every use, especially if it has
been exposed to sea air.
It should be cleaned with a sponge, a bowl of warm soapy water and a hosepipe (without pressure).
RECOMMENDATION: Be particularly careful to not use a pressurised water jet.
II. Lubrication
Lubrication is essential for the various components that move, in order to avoid corrosion. Regularly grease
the chain, brush the sprockets and chainrings and trickle a few drops of lubricant into the brake and derailleur
cable sheaths.
We recommend starting by cleaning and drying the components to be greased.
Specific lubricant is recommended for the chain and derailleur. Grease can be used for the other components.
