If you are unable or do not wish to use your bike for a longer period of time, please observe the following instructions:
Bike
Clean your bike and lubricate the moving parts (chain, bearings, etc.).
Store the bike in a place that is as dry and protected from the weather as possible.
If possible, store the bike between +10°C and +40°C.
Flash rust on the brake discs is not unusual; it is caused by the material composition of the brake discs. Stainless steel has lower coefficients of friction, so brake discs always contain a proportion of non-stainless steel. It can be easily removed with a commercially available stainless steel sponge.
If necessary, check your insurance cover with regard to damage and theft, especially when storing in an area not exclusively for your own use.
Battery
Store the battery at a charge level of 30-60%.
Store the battery at room temperature in a dry room.
Do not store the battery near flammable or highly flammable objects.
Store the battery in a room with an installed smoke detector.
The eBike can usually be switched on at the control unit for at least 6 months without being used. Alternatively, you can also switch on the eBike via the charged eBike battery pack (see operating instructions for the respective eBike battery pack).
