Maintenance and Care

General Cleaning

Clean your e-bike regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid high-pressure washing directly on electrical components.

Brake Adjustment

Regularly check brake pad wear and brake lever tension. If brakes feel loose or make noise, they may need adjustment or pad replacement. Consult a bike mechanic if unsure.
