Service and maintenance intervals
After a break-in period (first service after about 200 km), your e-bike must be serviced at regular intervals or certain components must be checked or replaced.
Have this service performed by your specialist dealer. The times given in the following table are intended as a guide for cyclists who cycle 1,500-2,500 km a
year. If you cycle more kilometres per year or travel a lot on bad roads, the maintenance intervals are shortened accordingly.
