• Fasteners: Regularly check all bolts, nuts, and quick releases to ensure they are tight and secure.
• Cleaning: Clean the bike with a damp cloth. Avoid using high-pressure water jets directly on electrical components.

If you encounter issues with your Tifgalop electric bike, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
