Onderhoud

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your SachsenRAD C5 Centro E-Bike.

1. Schoonmaken

Maak uw e-bike regelmatig schoon met adamp cloth and mild soap. Avoid high-pressure washers, especially near electrical components and bearings.

2. Bandenverzorging

Check tire pressure before each ride. Inspect tires for wear, cuts, or embedded objects. Replace worn tires promptly.

3. Reminspectie

Regularly check brake pads for wear and replace them when necessary. Ensure brake levers feel firm and responsive. If you notice any sponginess, the hydraulic system may need bleeding by a professional.

4. Belt Drive Maintenance

Unlike traditional chains, the carbon belt drive requires minimal maintenance. Keep it clean and free of debris. Do not lubricate the belt.

5. Batterijverzorging

• Laad de accu na elke rit volledig op, of minstens één keer per maand als de fiets niet in gebruik is.
• Bewaar de batterij op een koele, droge plaats, uit de buurt van direct zonlicht en extreme temperaturen.
• Do not fully discharge the battery frequently, as this can reduce its lifespan.

6. Algemene inspectie

Periodically check all bolts and fasteners for tightness. Inspect cables for fraying or damage. Ensure all lights and reflectors are clean and functional.
