Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your VEEFA L-1 Electric Bike.

- Brake Inspection: Periodically inspect brake pads and rotors for wear. Ensure the mechanical disc brakes provide consistent stopping power. Adjust or replace as needed.
- Chain Lubrication: Keep the chain clean and lubricated to ensure smooth gear shifts and prevent rust.
- Battery Care: Store the battery in a cool, dry place and charge it regularly, even if not in use, to maintain its health. Avoid fully discharging the battery.
- General Cleaning: Clean the bike regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid high-pressure washing directly on electrical components.
- Fastener Check: Periodically check all bolts and fasteners for tightness, especially after the first few rides.
Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Motor not assisting / Pedal assist not engaging | Low battery, loose connection, sensor issue, or temporary system glitch. | Ensure battery is charged and properly seated. Check all cable connections. Try "burping" the throttle (briefly engaging and disengaging) to re-engage pedal assist. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
| Unusual noise from suspension | New suspension settling, or minor oil residue. | This can be normal during initial use. Avoid excessive "springing" of the suspension immediately after assembly. If noise or oil leakage is significant or persistent, contact customer support. |
| Brakes feel weak or inconsistent | Worn brake pads, misaligned calipers, or cable tension issues. | Inspect brake pads for wear and replace if necessary. Check caliper alignment. Adjust brake cable tension. If unsure, consult a professional bike mechanic or customer support. |
| Battery not charging | Charger not connected properly, faulty charger, or battery issue. | Ensure charger is securely plugged into both the bike and the wall outlet. Check for any damage to the charger or charging port. The charger has a built-in cut-off, so ensure it's not just indicating a full charge. If the problem continues, contact customer support. |
