Is this cover suitable for electric bikes?

The cover is suitable for all types of pedal bikes. For electric bikes, check the dimensions to ensure a proper fit, especially if the battery or motor adds significant bulk.

Troubleshooting

Cover does not fit snugly

Ensure you have selected the correct size cover for your bicycle. Adjust the elasticated hems and safety buckle for a tighter fit. If it's still too loose, consider if your bicycle is unusually large or has significant add-ons.

Water seeps through the cover

Check the cover for any tears or damage. Ensure all seams are intact and the fabric has not been compromised. Minor leaks might indicate the need for re-waterproofing treatment, though the 190T polyester is designed for water resistance.

Cover is difficult to fold into the storage bag

Make sure the cover is completely dry before folding. Fold it neatly and systematically, starting from the edges, to reduce its volume for easier storage.

  • Designed to stay secure in windy conditions due to elasticated hems and buckle.
  • Includes security features like lock holes to deter theft.
  • Made from durable, weather-resistant material.

Cons

  • Requires accurate sizing for optimal fit and protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your bicycle is clean before applying the cover to prevent trapping dirt against the paintwork.
  2. Drape the cover over the bicycle, starting from the top and allowing it to fall evenly.
  3. Secure the elasticated hems around the front and rear wheels.
  4. Fasten the safety buckle on the underside of the cover.
  5. Thread your bicycle lock through the designated lock holes at the front wheel for added security.

Compatibility:

This cover is designed for all types of pedal bikes. The XL size (Dimensions: 110.00cm x 70.00cm x 200.00cm) is generally suitable for larger frame sizes and bicycles with accessories like baskets or panniers, but it's always recommended to measure your bike against the cover's dimensions for the best fit.

Care:

To clean the cover, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Allow the cover to air dry completely before storing it in the provided drawstring bag. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the waterproof coating and fabric.
