Maintenance Instructions

BRAKES
It’s important that your learn, and remember, which brake lever controls each brake(front/rear) in order to ensure your safety.

Traditionally, the right brake lever will control the rear brake, while the left brake lever will control the front brake. However, this may vary depending on what country you are in, and can always be adjusted to suit your own preference.
To check which configuration your eBike is set up with, squeeze one brake lever and look to see whether the front or rear brake engages. Now do the same with the other brake lever. Remember this configuration.
While you are testing the brake configuration, make sure that your hands can comfortably reach and squeeze the levers with no issues. If you experience any issues or discomfort operating the brakes, please reach out to us before riding.

Disc Brakes

Test your brake tension by squeezing your brake levers. If they feel too loose, adjust the tension by twisting the barrel adjusters on either side.

Tip: Twist clockwise to decrease tension, and counterclock wise to increase tension.
WARNING!
Riding with worn brake pads, improperly installed brakes, or wheels where you can visibly see the wear from the brake pads, is dangerous and can result in serious injury or death.

To check which configuration your eBike is set up with, squeeze one brake lever and look to see whether the front or rear brake engages.
Now do the same with the other brake lever. Remember this configuration.

While you are testing the brake configuration, make sure that your hands can comfortably reach and squeeze the levers with no issues.
If you experience any issues or discomfort operating the brakes, please reach out to us before riding.
Disc rotors have sharp edges, exercise caution when handling them during maintenance.
Sudden or excessive application of the front brake may pitch the rider over the handlebars.

Tire Pressure
Size, pressure rating and other information can often be found on the sidewall of the tire. Tire pressure is the most key piece of information for you to remember.

Inflating a tire beyond the maximum pressure can blow the tire off the rim, resulting in damage to the bike and potential injury to the rider.
High tire pressures work best for smooth, dry pavement rides, while low pressures give the best performance on smooth, slick terrain. However, increasing or decreasing tire pressure will have no affect on the terrain that the tire is designed to handle. A road tire at low pressure still cannot handle terrains such as clay or sand.
If you are unsure, reach out to us or your local bike shop to determine the best tire pressure for the kind of riding you will do most often.

BATTERY CARE
It’s important to follow these instructions and safety tips in order to preserve the longevity of your battery’s life and ensure proper performance.
Fully charge the battery before each ride to make sure it’s ready to go the full range. This will help reduce the chance of over-discharging the battery.

If the battery becomes physically damaged, non-functional, has been dropped, or involved in a crash, or you notice it performing abnormally, please discontinue use and contact ESKUTE BIKE immediately.

Charging Your Battery
It’s important to follow these instructions and safety tips in order to preserve the longevity of your battery’s life and ensure proper performance.
Fully charge the battery before each ride to make sure it’s ready to go the full range. This will help reduce the chance of over-dis-charging the battery.
The charger is rated for 100-240V. Be sure to check the charger, charging cables, and battery for damage before beginning each charge.
Charging time takes about 7-8 hours. On rare occasion, it may take longer to allow the battery to fully charge, particularly when the bike is new or has been stored for long period of time.

Only charge the battery with the supplied ESKUTE charger, as others may cause damage to the battery or increase the possibility of fire or explosion.

While the charger is designed to automatically stop charging once the battery is full, do not leave it plugged in for periods of time greater than 12 hours.
Make sure your charger avoids contact with liquids, dirt, and debris.

The charger may get hot while in use. However if it gets too hot to touch, or you notice anything such as a strange smell or other indications that it may possibly be overheating, discontinue use immediately and contact ESKUTE Bike.

• Do not cover the charger while in use.
• Do not open the charger or alter the voltage input.
• If there appears to be any issue with the charger or battery, stop riding and contact us immediately.

Balancing Your Battery

When you first receive your bike, it’s important that you follow these steps to ensure that your battery cells are properly balanced in order to keep them operating as efficiently as possible.

1. For the first initial charge upon receiving your bike (or after long storage time), be sure to charge the battery for at least 8 hours before riding.
   Note: We recommend that you let the battery charge for at least 8 hours for the first 3 charges to make sure the cells balance properly.

2. After the first 3 rides, you may begin normal charging procedures.

Storing Your Battery
It is recommended that you do not leave the battery at lower than an 80% charge when storing for long periods of times. If storing for a month or longer, periodically check the battery and be sure to keep the charge up to at least 80%.
Store your battery in a cool, dry area away from water and other elements at a temperature between 50℉ – 77 ℉ (10℃ – 25℃).
If you plan on storing your bike (or spare battery) for longer than two weeks at a time, please be sure to follow these guidelines in order to maintain the lifespan of your battery.

Failure to follow proper battery care practices can result in unnecessary wear to the components, battery, and/or charger, which could lead to a battery that underperforms, or becomes non-functional. Loss of battery capacity is not covered by warranty.

More Tips

Proper maintenance is essential for your safety and to ensure that you get optimal performance from your eBike. If you are unable to perform the general maintenance yourself, please reach out to a qualified mechanic.

• Be sure to frequently inspect and tighten your crank bolts as needed. Crank bolts can loosen on any bike, especially after strenuous use.
• While you are able to ride in the rain, rust is a bikes worst enemy! Be sure to dry off your ebike after a wet ride.
• Inspect the bolts on a regular basis to ensure that they are tight and all components are secure.
• Properly inflate your tires. Under inflated tires are prone to flats and can affect the smoothness of your ride.
