Brake pads
Take a good look at the brake pads on your bike every few weeks to see how they
are holding up. It’s essential that you have effective brakes or else you could end up
in a serious accident. Brake pads can easily and cheaply be replaced whenever
necessary.
If you are not sure about something, call or take the bike to your bike shop. Just
remember:
I.
DO NOT
use aggressive water sprays or power jets when washing the bike:
keep water off the battery as much as you can
II.
DO NOT
leave the bike out in the rain or snow: store it somewhere dry and
out of direct sunlight
III.
DO NOT
open up casings, chargers, etc. You are unlikely to be able to reseal
them effectively, making them more susceptible to water damage
IV.
ALWAYS
Dry off the bike after washing it, or after riding in the wet
For the most part, every e-‐bike we sell is weatherproof. But this does not mean
they're water-‐tight! If you submerge any of these products in water, it will seep into
the openings and likely cause damage. These products are fine in light rain or damp
riding conditions. But during heavy down pours or deep puddling, we recommend
pulling over and waiting for the weather to subside. If you plan on riding in the rain
on a regular basis, we recommend taking some extra steps to further waterproof
your e-‐bike. This includes ensuring all electrical connections are wrapped in
electrical tape and all connectors and exposed openings are sealed with clear
silicone.
