Storing the eBike Battery
In general, it’s important to follow the recommended temperature ranges when using and charging your eBike battery. These recommendations are usually found on the battery itself or in the user manual for built-in batteries. During the summer months, your bike and battery can safely be stored in a shed or garage. However, once temperatures drop, it’s best to bring them indoors.
Things to consider when storing your battery:
Store in a cool, dry place, ideally between 10°C and 20°C.
Only charge the battery once it has reached room temperature.
Avoid deep discharge: Before storing, charge the battery to about 30-60% capacity. This charge level is ideal for long-term storage and prevents overcharging or deep discharge.
Don’t leave the battery connected to the charger for extended periods.
Keep the battery clean and remove any dirt or salt buildup.
In winter, simply bring your battery indoors. If it’s built-in, you can bring the entire bike inside, whether in your living room or basement.
Passo 2: Regolazione dei freni e controllo della loro funzione.
Caratteristica speciale dei freni: Regola le leve dei freni in modo che tu possa raggiungere comodamente l'estremità della leva del freno con un dito quando posizioni la mano al centro del manubrio. I freni a disco idraulici hanno abbastanza potenza per azionarli con un solo dito. Verifica anche che i dischi dei freni (Torx25) e la pinza dei freni (chiave Allen da 5 mm) siano stretti. Dai un'occhiata alle pastiglie dei freni, dovrebbero avere almeno 1 mm di rivestimento. In caso contrario, sostituiscile.
