5 // MAINTENANCE
The chain of your electric bike is subject to high stress, especially if you use the higher levels
of assistance. Regularly check its wear and replace it often. Go to your local bike retailer for
advice if you are in any doubt.
Take the time to regularly check that no link has become deformed or open as it could break
while riding and case a fall.
In order to prolong the lifespan of your bike, here is an example of a maintenance calendar, in
the case of regular use.
1 // Before and after each ride
• Check the brakes.
• Check the tire pressures and for any possible damage.
• Check wheels are tight.
• Check the stem and handlebar are tight.
• Check the suspension fork is functioning correctly.
• Check that the battery is correctly attached to the frame or the luggage rack.
• Carefully store your bike in a clean dry area.
• Recharge your battery.
2 // Every month
• Inspect for any possible play in the stem and the handlebar.
• Check the cassette as well as the chain as these are subject to a higher amount of
strain on an eBike with central motor.
• Check the cables, hoses, levers.
• Check the derailleurs, and lubricate if necessary.
• Check the wear on brake pads, and replace if necessary.
• Check the wheel for any buckles and the spoke tension.

3 // Every six months (depending on the frequency and the type of usage)
• Inspect the frame and check for the appearance of any cracks.
• Check and grease the wheel hubs, headset, and any parts that have friction.
For a more in depth diagnostic, we advise you to visit your Moustache retailer, in order to carry
out a more detailed check.
4 // Every two years
• Replace the handlebar and stem.
WARNING!
Never spray oil on the chain without having first protected the brake discs.
Without protection, small drops can pollute the disc and the pads and
strongly reduce the braking performance.
If brake pads are polluted they must be replaced immediately.
