8.2.7 Tires
Switch off the Pedelec.
Check tire pressure
The correct tire pressure leads to low rolling resistance and can prevent punctures. It also leads to a better response between
torque sensor and motor.
In general, the specifications on the sidewall of the tire are the maximum allowed pressures in bar or psi. In everyday use,
the tire pressure can be set a little lower, but
not
higher.
We recommend the use of a floor pump with a pressure gauge, on which the tire pressure is clearly shown.
J
Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
J
Check tire pressure before each ride and approximately once a week.
y
max. 5.3 bar
Check tire tread and sidewall
The sidewall should be uniformly round in shape and free from cracks, sidewall bulges and grooves.
The tires should have sufficient, even tread.
1. Check sidewall and tread depth.
2. If the tread depth is too shallow or if there is visible damage to the sidewall: Change the tires.
