Maintenance

Maintaining your bicycle ensures you’ll get the most out of 

every ride and out of the entire life of your eZee bike. How much of 

your bike’s maintenance you can do yourself will depend on your 

knowledge, skill, experience and whether you have the necessary 

tools for the job. 

Learning from available cycling literature and joining cycling 

communities can be an enjoyable way of improving your skill and 

knowledge about maintaining bicycles. Beyond this manual, it is 

good to consult your LBS and eZee dealer for advice regularly.

Before every ride 

Mechanical safety checks, use a fully charged 

battery, visual inspection for damages.

Every 150kms (100 miles)   

Clean the bike, incl. chain rings and 

sprocket. Clean and lightly oil the chain and gears.

Every 20 - 30 hours of riding   

Squeeze the brakes and rock the 

bike to check for any looseness with each forward of backward 

movement. If the headset is loose, have your dealer check it.

Lift the front wheel and rotate handlebars to check for tightness of 

steering, it may be necessary to lubricate ball bearings.

Check and recalibrate the brakes, replace if worn out.

Squeeze spokes in adjoining pairs between your thumb and index 

finger. They all should have the same tension. Have your dealer 

respoke or true the wheel if necessary.
