SMARTA BIKE GT Owner's Manual - Essential Maintenance
Test the pedals and steering column are not loose or have inhibited
movement.
Essential Maintenance
Probably the single most important bit of maintenance requires the
brakes to be serviced regularly. This may be more often than a
normal bicycle because it has been shown that ebikes are used by
their owners more often than standard bicycles.
**
Please check and service brakes as required
**
On any bike the spokes should be checked every few rides to ensure
they are holding the wheel true and at approximately equal tension.
The motor will put increased stress on the spokes and although we
use extra strong spokes and a more robust spoke lacing pattern they
should be checked at the very least once a month.
The nuts and bolts that hold your machine together may come loose
over time with vibration caused by use or transportation. It is
important to check these regularly.
**
Please check all nuts, bolts, brakes, gears and spokes after the
first few rides. New products have a wearing in period when the
metal and cables will react to the new conditions. Cables
generally stretch and nuts and spokes may lose tension.
**
We use standard bicycle components on the Smarta ebikes so you
won't have any problem sourcing replacements if required. If you
want a professional bike service or need any help or advise you can
always contact us.
