The Wattbike is constructed from high performance components and is designed to be almost maintenance free and
should withstand heavy usage. Any unusual symptoms, such as loud noises or grinding during operation should be
reported to your local Wattbike distributor.
For a normal service all that is required is 4 mm, 5 mm Hex (Allen) Keys, 15 mm and 17 mm spanners.

soft cloth and a non-abrasive liquid cleaner. Wipe down the exterior covers and frame, saddle, handlebar and Wattbike
Performance Computer.

Battery
The Wattbike Performance Computer is fitted with a rechargeable battery and does not require an external power
supply. When cycling at a cadence of 50 r/m and above the battery is recharged with the help of an integrated generator.
It can also be recharged using an external plug-in battery charger although the need for external recharging is almost
eliminated by the addition of the generator. ALWAYSchargethebatterywiththeWattbikePerformanceComputer
