A little extra maintenance is required over
and above a normal bicycle.
Spoke tension should be maintained to avoid
loose/ broken spokes. This can be done using a
spoke tool as shown in the photo to the right. If
this is beyond your capabilities, it is
recommended that a bike mechanic handles this.
As well as caring for your spoke tension, it’s
important to do a check on all of your fasteners
every few months. It never hurts to go over your
bike with tools, tightening and checking
everything that can be checked. This will ensure
you have a safe and well-serviced bike.
Keep your bike clean! There’s nothing worse
than having to work on a dirty bike...
Also keep in mind the usual bike maintenance
like tyre pressures, brake pads, etc...
The motor in this kit is a sealed unit and requires
no maintenance during its design life. Lastly,
(just to reiterate) it’s important that you charge
the battery at least once every
3
months to
ensure the battery maintains a safe storage level.
