How to maintain electric bikes?
You should in general take care of your electric bike the way you would with a regular bicycle by keeping it dry, clean and the moving parts well lubricated. You should also avoid parking your Poweredbicycles in exposed areas whenever possible.You should check the effectiveness of the brakes before each use.
For your electric bike, you should also take note of the following:
Your electric bike is designed for regular road use for a single person. Using your electric bike for extreme maneuvers, such as extreme off-road use, jumping, or carrying excessive load will damage the electric bike and could cause serious injury.
Do not use high pressure water streams to clean your electric bicycle, as water might seep inside the motor or the wiring compartment and cause rusting of electrical parts or short circuits.
Avoid parking your bike outside when there is rain or snow. At the end of a trip where there was rain or snow, bring the electric bike inside and use a clean, dry towel to eliminate any wetness.
Be sure you do not lose both keys. If you lost one key, you should immediately make a copy as a back-up. If you lost both keys, you will be unable to remove the battery from your electric bike.
