SMARTA BIKE GT Owner's Manual - The Hub Motor
application will ensure you stop in a controlled manner. It is wise to get the
mechanical parts of the brakes serviced regularly.
The Hub Motor
The motor is a high efficiency hub. It is lightweight and has a high power
to weight ratio. The hub is sealed and provides power directly where it is
needed. It has smooth performance through the rpm range making standing
starts quick and controlled.
The Control Unit
Essentially the brain of the system and a very important component. The
efficiency and performance of the system is very dependant on the quality
of the controller processes.
This control unit has been hand picked for its ability to get the most out of
the components while simultaneously protecting them to ensure longevity.
It is responsive and gives the product a flexibility that responds well to
many riding conditions and riding styles.
The Rest
The remaining components such as the gears and drive chain are normal
bicycle components and we recommend if you get them serviced regularly
and have periodic safety checks.
Important Maintenance
Although we have made every effort to make this product intuitive and
'maintenance free' your Smarta ebike is firstly a bicycle, then an ebike.
This means you must perform pre-ride checks and servicing of the bicycle
components.
Pre-Ride Checks
You should ensure the brakes are working satisfactorily and you can
stop safely.
Check your tyres are in good condition, suitable for the riding
conditions and pumped to 50 – 60 psi.
Check the chain is clean, at the correct tension and ready for use.
