Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe down the bike with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Lubrication: Periodically check and lubricate moving parts as recommended in the full product manual (if applicable). The belt-driven system generally requires less maintenance than chain drives.
- Tightening: Regularly inspect all bolts and nuts to ensure they are tight. Loose components can affect performance and safety.
- Storage: Store the bike in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The dual transportable wheels allow for easy movement and storage.
