CARE & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR BIKE
To clean the Defiant carefully wipe with a damp cloth, then dry with a dry cloth.
Do not use water to clean the Defiant, as the electrical and electronic systems
may get wet, resulting in personal injury or malfunction of the bicycle. You should
clean your bike after each ride. Lube the chain every so often to keep it smooth.
BIKE CARE
• Keep tires properly inflated. Check for 5-35 psi. before each ride.
• Check brakes regularly. Look for issues before each ride.
• Regularly clean, lube and inspect your chain.
• Check and secure any loose bolts or parts on the Defiant. Hand tighten if
needed.
BATTERY CARE
• Protect the bike from salt, water, and moisture.
• Store the battery indoors, in a dry place and at a suitable temperature.
• Charge the the battery in a warm environment (above 50 degrees Fahrenheit)
• When not it use (for more than two weeks) it is best to keep battery charged
between 60% to 80% and check on it every month to make sure it is staying at
that level. Staying fully charged or fully depleted for long periods of inoperative
time will reduce battery life.
• Charging the battery from completely empty to fully charged takes 4 to 6 hours.
We recommend you disconnect the battery from the power supply once the light
on the charger turns from red to green.
• Avoid intense physical shock, severe vibration, and impact from both the bike
and battery.
• Never disassemble the bike or battery.
• When removing plug from battery charging in the bike's frame, grab tip with
fingers to remove charger (instead of yanking the cord) as this can cause the port
to short-out the charger and/or battery.
