MAINTENANCE

Wheels

: Wheels should be properly placed in the fork or dropouts. If you hear any irregular noise from the 

wheels or brakes, they should be checked and adjusted. The wheels should rotate smoothly without wobbling 
from side to side. Check the bearing play of the hubs regularly by lifting the bicycle and spinning the wheel. 

It should continue to spin for several turns after you stop spinning the wheel. The motorized wheel will NOT 
spin as freely as the non-motorized wheel. To check the play of the hubs, try to move the rim from side to 

side between the forks. No substantial play should exist. If you detect play or if the wheel is difficult to turn, 
please contact your local dealer or your local bike shop to have it serviced.

Rims

: The rims should be smooth and without cracks, breaks or bulges.

Spokes

: If your bike has spokes, check their tension regularly. About the same tension should be on all the 

spokes. If there is some minor loosening of the spokes, you may tighten the nipples, but it is recommended 

that you take it to a bicycle mechanic for proper adjustment. If there is a loose spoke or if the rim has side 
play of more than 1/8” (4mm), immediately have the wheel trued by a bicycle mechanic.

 DO NOT RIDE 

WITH LOOSE SPOKES!

Riding with loose spokes may cause the wheel to fail.

Tires

: Inflate your tires to the pressure embossed on the sidewall. Every time you ride, make sure the tires are 

properly inflated. Improper tire pressure will make riding more difficult, cause excessive wear, and cause 

premature failure of the tires. The tires should be properly seated in the rim and the fitting of the tire beads 
and rim beads should be checked. If the tube is pinched between the rim and the tire, it will fail when 
inflated. Make sure that the tires are not cracked or worn unevenly. Check for bulges. Check and make sure 

that the valve stem is straight in the rim. Irregular tires should be replaced immediately.

Handlebar and Display

: We have created the handlebar display so that you can easily see it while riding. To 

straighten the handlebars, turn the stem binder bolt to loosen it and straighten the handlebars so they are 
aligned properly with the front wheel and tighten. Loose or damaged grips on your handlebars are 
dangerous! If your grip comes off, you could lose control of your bicycle. Replace as needed.  

Brakes

: Riding with brakes that are worn or damaged or with worn cables or wheels in poor condition may 

result in losing control of your bicycle. Wet weather may hinder the brake performance. You need more 

distance to safely stop in the rain or on a wet or icy street. Before each ride, check to make sure your brake 
cables are free of obstacles and are adjusted and working properly.

Batteries/Fuses

: Your batteries are in a protective case with a handle to enable you to easily take these on and 

off your bike. There is a locking key to lock the batteries on your bike to discourage theft. Do not attempt to 
open your battery box without first contacting your dealer. This 

WILL

 void your warranty. If you suspect 

your battery is not working properly, you can test it with an inexpensive voltage meter. If you get a “zero” 
voltage reading, then check and replace your fuse. (Check the pages of this manual that are specific for your 
battery.) If this doesn’t fix the issue, then contact your local dealer.

 Chain:

 Lubricate the chain with oil every three months to ensure it stays free of rust as well as every time that 

it is ridden in wet weather.
