BRAKES


It is important regularly to check that the brakes are working properly.


Our electric cargo bikes are mounted with hydraulic brakes on all three wheels and do not require much maintenance. 

Dirt on the discs, may course the bike to pull in the wrong direction when braking. Try washing the disc with a soft cloth.


We advise you to change the brake pads at the end of each seson, especially after the winter season, that can cause damage to the coating.

All depending on the amount of use.


It's relatively easy to change the brake pads, but it does require some time to adjust them precisely. If you hear a howling sound from the brakes, it may be because they vibrate a bit. The reason for this, may be that the brakes are crooked, loose or dirt/oil on the discs.


The solution is simple: Adjust, tighten and clean. If this doen't help, you might have to change a caliper og adjust a piston.

TIRES & WHEEL RIMS


Pay attention to the tires. Is the tread still okay? If the tires are worn, there is a risk that they might puncture within a short while, even though all tires comes with 5 mm puncture protection.


Watch out for cracks on the side of the tires and if you spot any, it's time to buy som new ones.


Always make sure, that there is enough air in the tires. If the tires are flat, there is a risk that it may course damage to the wheels.

Driving on flat tires, will overload the battery and shorten the amount of km you can drive on one charge.


Check that all spokes are intact and if the wheel is exe. If any spokes are missing or loose, make sure to have it fixed right away. If you continue driving, the spokes will break one by one and cause the rim collapse. 


So drop by a repair shop to have it fixed right away.
