8. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Favoto Electric Bike:

• Tires: Check tire pressure before each ride. Maintain recommended PSI for optimal performance and safety.
• Brakes: Regularly inspect brake pads and rotors for wear. Ensure brake levers provide firm and responsive stopping power. Adjust or replace as needed.
• Chain: Keep the chain clean and lubricated to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
• Fasteners: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and quick-release levers to ensure they are tight and secure.
• Battery Care: Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Charge it regularly, even if not in use, to maintain battery health.
• Cleaning: Clean the bike with a damp cloth. Avoid using high-pressure water jets directly on electrical components.

9. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Favoto Electric Bike, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Bike Not Powering On: Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly inserted. Check if the key is fully turned to the 'ON' position.
• Motor Not Engaging: Verify that the pedal-assist level is selected and the throttle is engaged. Check for any loose cable connections.
• Reduced Range: This could be due to low tire pressure, riding in high pedal-assist modes, or riding against strong headwinds. Ensure the battery is fully charged before each ride.
• Brake Squealing: This may indicate dirty brake pads or rotors, or misaligned calipers. Clean the brakes or have them inspected by a professional.
