Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your electric bicycle.

• Cleaning: Clean the bicycle regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid using high-pressure water jets directly on electrical components.
• Brake Inspection: Regularly check the disc brakes for wear and proper function. Adjust or replace brake pads as needed.
• Tire Pressure: Maintain recommended tire pressure for safe and efficient riding.
• Chain Lubrication: Keep the chain clean and lubricated to ensure smooth gear changes and prevent wear.
• Noise Reduction: If you notice rattling from the front light, ensure its mica cover is secure. For battery base noise, consider adding a thin padding between the battery base and the frame to prevent movement.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter.

• Battery Discharging Quickly: Battery range can vary based on terrain, rider weight, assist level, and temperature. Ensure the battery is fully charged before each ride. If rapid discharge persists, consult the warranty section or contact support.
