Recommended Service Intervals
Safety Checklist
We recommend you follow this safety checklist before each ride or after every
20-50 miles (32-80 km).
Tire Inflation and Replacement
- This e-bike uses 26″ x 1 .95″ rubber tires, which are safe for regular riding. Check their inflation level before each ride. Correct inflation, maintenance, and timely replacement can ensure that your electric bicycle functions properly. We recommend 40-65 PSI (2.8-4.5 BAR) for both front and rear tires.
- It is essential to maintain proper air pressure in the tire at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate tires. Low pressure can cause losing control, and over-inflated tires can burst. Failure to always maintain the air pressure level indicated on the tire sidewall may cause tire and/or wheel failure. Inflating a tire from an unregulated air source can overinflate the tire, which can cause the tire to burst.
- Even tires equipped with built-in flat-preventative tire liners can get flats from punctures, pinches, or other causes. When tire wear becomes evident or a flat tire is discovered, you must replace the tires and/or tubes before operating this bike, or injury to operators and/or damage to your bike may occur.
- When changing a tire or tube, ensure that all air has been removed from the inner tube before removing the tire from the rim. Failure to remove all air pressure from the inner tube could result in serious injury, unsafe riding conditions, or damage to your bike.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Please follow these listed rules and contact a certified bicycle mechanic regularly to ensure that your e-bike is safe and comfortable to ride. For more detailed information, see “Recommended Service Intervals” and “Safety Checklist” in this manual.
