Routine Maintenance

Below is a list of regular maintenance activities you can expect to perform while owning a bike:

Inspect the bike.
- When: Before each ride
- How: Periodically and before each ride, check the bike components for signs of improper alignment, security, and function.
Clean the bike.
- When: As needed
- How: The bike should only be cleaned with a moist rag and non-corrosive biodegradable cleaners. Do not use a pressure washer or hose to clean the bike. This can cause water damage to electrical components and will likely void the warranty.
Perform maintenance checks.
- When: Once a year
- How: Consult a local, certified, and reputable bike mechanic.
Replace brake pads.
- When: As needed
- How: Take note of any changes in braking while using the bike. Electric Motor bikes travel at higher speeds and have more momentum because of the weight of the powered components, so brake pads normally wear down faster than a traditional non-powered bike. Check brake pads regularly and replace them whenever worn.
Inspect the paint.
- When: As needed
- How: Visually inspect the pain on the frame. If the paint has become scratched or chipped in the metal, use touch-up paint to prevent rust. Clear nail polish can also be used as a preventative measure.
