General Maintenance

General Maintenance

With just a few basic checks you can keep your Kickbike rolling easily and avoid
major repairs. If you are not able to master some maintenance task, let the local
bike dealer do it for you.

Before Each Ride

Fasten quick release levers, check the brake function, and check tyre pressure.

Monthly Maintenance

Clean and lubricate brakes and cables.
Monthly maintenance is especially vital in rough weather conditions.

Annual Maintenance

Service in a Kickbike or bicycle shop. Straighten rims, lubricate and adjust
bearings, replace brake pads. Attend to any scratches with touch up paint
provided.

It is highly recommended that you let a bike shop check your Kickbike so that
potential problems having an effect on safety, product life cycle or warranty terms
can be identified in time.

Manufacturer’s Warranty

Manufacturer’s Warranty

Kickbikes come with a Manufacturer’s parts warranty of 2 years for the frame and
1 year for all parts excluding tyres, brake pads, and brake cables/wires. Off-road
use or jumping on the frame voids all warranties. For even very competitive and
high mileage use the current frame has proven strong and durable. The Kickbike
has been dynamically tested with 120 kg weight on the footboard by a special
testing machine simulating rough road use.
