8. Maintenance and Care

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your e-bike.

• Cleaning: Clean the bike regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid high-pressure washing directly on electrical components.
• Tire Pressure: Check tire pressure before each ride and inflate to the recommended PSI.
• Brakes: Regularly inspect brake pads and rotors for wear. Adjust brake tension as needed.
• Chain: Keep the chain clean and lubricated for smooth gear changes and to prevent wear.
• Fasteners: Periodically check all bolts and nuts for tightness.
• Battery Storage: If storing the bike for an extended period, charge the battery to 50-70% and store it in a cool, dry place. Recharge every 1-2 months.

9. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues:

• No Power: Check if the battery is fully charged and properly seated. Ensure the power button is pressed correctly.
• Motor Not Assisting: Verify the pedal assist level on the LCD display. Ensure the brake levers are not partially engaged, as they cut motor power.
• Brakes Squealing: This can be due to dirty rotors or worn pads. Clean rotors with disc brake cleaner or replace pads if necessary.
• Gears Not Shifting Smoothly: Check for a stretched or dirty chain. Adjust the derailleur if needed (refer to the detailed manual).

For more complex issues, consult a professional bicycle mechanic or contact Fafrees customer support.
