Bicycle Safety 

Always wear a helmet – Safeguard against head injuries by using a properly fitted, safety-certified helmet.

Stay visible – Utilise lights and reflective gear when cycling in low-light conditions.

Follow road rules – Ride responsibly and remain aware of your surroundings.

Aftercare for Your New Bike Initial Check-Up (First 50-100 miles)

Gear Adjustment – New cables may stretch slightly; have a qualified mechanic check and adjust them.

Brake & Wheel Check – Inspect brakes for wear and ensure wheels are aligned properly.

Lubrication – Apply chain oil and check bolt tightness to maintain smooth performance.

Tyre Pressure – Regularly monitor to prevent flats and enhance efficiency.

Routine Maintenance (Every Few Weeks)

Chain Care – Clean and lubricate your chain to minimise wear and prolong its life.

Brake Safety – Check brake pads and responsiveness before each ride.

Tyre Inspection – Look for punctures and ensure correct air pressure.

Handlebar & Stem Alignment – Confirm they are tight and secure to prevent instability.

Frame Safety Check – Look for any signs of damage or cracks.

Professional Check-Ups

Have your bike serviced at least once a year, or more frequently if you ride often.

Aftercare for Your New Electric Bicycle (e-Bike) Initial Check-Up (First 50-100 miles)

Battery Care – Fully charge your battery (if required) before the first ride and store it in a dry, moderate-temperature environment.

Routine e-Bike Maintenance (Every Few Weeks)

Motor Inspection – Listen for unusual noises and ensure smooth operation.

Battery & Connection Checks – Inspect cables and connectors for dirt, moisture, or damage.

Seasonal e-Bike Maintenance

Check Electrical Components – Ensure wires and connections are clean and secure.

Professional Servicing – Have your e-bike inspected at least once a year or every 500-1000 miles for optimal performance.
