Maintenance and adjustments to be done by owner 

 
Below you can find the instructions for maintenance and adjustments that you can do 
yourself on a regular basis, which will keep your bicycle in top condition. 
 

The correct tension of the chains 

There are two chains on the bicycle. The chains should not be too tight. They should 
hang loose. Without effort you should be able to move the chain up and down, half a 
centimetre approximately. 
 
Chain Twinny en Kivo: 
To keep the chain tension correct, the back 
wheel axle is adjusted. Follow the instructions 
below to adjust the chain tension: 
 
1. 

Slightly loosen the nuts of the back wheel 
axle,   so that the back wheel can move 
backwards and forwards. 

2. 

Tension the nuts on the two chain-
tensioners, so that the wheel slides 
backwards and the chain gains tension. Do 
this is such a way that the chain hangs 
loosely, like described earlier. 

Note:

 Tension the nuts the same amount of 

turns, so that the wheel is straight and 
positioned in the centre of the frame, as 
illustrated. Not to the left or right, see figure 
[A]. 

3. 

Slightly tighten the nuts of the back wheel 
axle. 

4. 

Check whether the chain tension is correct 
and whether the wheel is straight and in the 
centre of the frame. 

5. 

Tighten the nuts thoroughly.
