Storage and maintenance

• It is recommended to use warm water and a sponge to clean the bicycle. When using special
cleaning products, please pay attention to the product's instructions. Do not use acid, lubricating
oil, high-temperature grease, brake cleaner, or other harsh cleaning products to clean the bicycle.
• Do not clean the bicycle with high water pressure so as to avoid short-circuiting the electrical system.
• Recommended maintenance interval: at least annually after the first 100 miles. Please check the
integrity and condition of the tires and rims, adjust the brake lines and check the chain drive. Please
carefully check whether the following parts are torqued properly: handle post, saddle, seat post,
front wheel, rear wheel, crank axle nut, pedals.
After 200 to 400 miles, please check the brake pads, chain, sprockets, and rims for wear an tear.
Furthermore, make sure that any bolted parts are properly tightened.
After every 700 miles, carry out a major maintenance to repair, disassemble, inspect, clean, and
apply lubricating oil. It is recommended to replace consumable parts such as hubs, pedals, brakes,
and gears every 700 miles.
• When the bicycle comes into contact with water, especially the meltwater with salt in (In winter,
many cities spread road with salt after snowing to prevent roads from freezing over), clean the
bicycle in a timely manner so as to avoid corrosion of metal parts and aging of painted parts. After
the bicycle is used for a period of time, it should be inspected and adjusted as per the instructions
in the user manual. Tightening and lubrication are essential. Check whether any parts are loose,
and make sure the chain drive moves smoothly. After lubricating the chain, wipe off any excess
lubricant. Add a small amount of lubricating oil on the flywheel. The tires must be inflated to the
correct tire pressure so as not to affect the riding comfort and safety as well as the service life of
the tires. The brakes must be inspected frequently to guarantee the rider's safety. If any issues
occur, immediately carry out the required adjustment or repair.
• After riding, store the bike in a place away from direct sunlight and rain.
• Regularly check the belt. If it is worn, replace the belt.
• Regularly check the screws and connections to ensure all parts are securely installed.
• Recommended torque (Unit: kgf·cm): 60 - 80 for handle bar screws; 175 - 200 for handle post screws;
175 - 250 for saddle screws; 320 - 450 for wheel nuts.
• Typical tension on a chain is roughly 2 cm, when pressing on the chain from the top and from the
bottom. If the movement exceeds 2 cm, adjust the tension or contact the dealer.
• When the motor is not running, try to clean the dust and grease on the surface. Keep the motor
clean and prevent oil and water from entering in it. Do not spray water directly on the motor.
• Check the completeness of the motor leading-out. If the motor overheats, emits an odor, smokes,
makes strange sound, or has any fault, stop using immediately and contact the dealer. Do not
attempt to disassemble the motor by yourself.
• Do not attempt to alter the voltage meter by yourself.
• Do not replace components with non-genuine parts, especially safety-critical components of the
brake system.
• The rims are consumable parts. If a rim is deformed, broken, or damaged, it should be replaced
immediately. After the rim has been used for a certain period of time, the braking surface of the
rims will gradually wear. Once the surface is flush with the rim wear indicator (a black groove ), the
rim should be replaced immediately. The function of the spokes is to connect the hub to the rim
and maintain a certain tension. The spoke tension affects the bicycle's capability to move forward.
Please regularly inspect the spokes.
• Users can prepare consumable spare parts such as tubes, tires, and brake pads. However, due to
the complexity of the electrical circuit, it is not recommended to replace any of its parts by yourself.
• It is not recommended to install non-genuine accessories such as child seats and luggage racks.
This bicycle does not have a trailer connection. Please do not install an external trailer. Damage
to the bicycle or personal injuries caused by installed non-genuine accessories is the sole
