BICYCLE CARE
BASIC MAINTENANCE
The following procedures will help you maintain your electric bicycle for years of enjoyable
riding.
1.
After initial set up, be sure to check wheel spokes to make sure they are properly
fitted. Be sure to check again after a few rides to ensure proper break in. (This does
not apply to the XB-200.) Follow up with monthly checks.
2.
Properly maintain the batteries by keeping them fully charged when not in use.
3.
Do not ride your e-bike in the water (damp roads, puddles, rain streams, etc.) and
never immerse it in water as the electrical system may be damaged.
4.
Periodically check the wiring and connectors to ensure there is no damage and the
connectors have good continuity.
5.
For painted frames, dust the surface and removed any loose dirt with a dry cloth. To
clean, wipe with a damp cloth soaked in a mild detergent mixture. Dry with a cloth
and polish with car or furniture wax. Use soap and water to clean plastic parts and
rubber tires. Chrome plated bikes should be wiped over with a rust preventative
fluid.
6.
Store your e-bike under shelter. Avoid leaving it in the rain or exposed to corrosive
materials.
7.
Riding on the beach or in coastal areas exposes your e-bike to salt which is very
corrosive. Wash your bike frequently and wipe or spray all unpainted parts with an
anti-rust treatment. Make sure wheel rims are dry so braking performance is not
affected. After rain, dry your bicycle and apply anti-rust treatment.
8.
If paint has become scratched or chipped to the metal, use touch up paint to prevent
rust. Clear nail polish can also be used as a protective measure.
9.
Regularly clean and lubricate all moving parts, tighten components and make
adjustments as required.
10.
The use of alloy components and BED, SATIN and TITANIUM surface treatments
minimizes the number of places where rust can surface.
