Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup: Your bike will arrive partially assembled. It is strongly recommended to have the bike professionally assembled and inspected by a qualified bicycle mechanic to ensure all components are correctly installed and adjusted. This includes securing the handlebars, seatpost, pedals, and checking brake and gear adjustments.
Compatibility: The bike uses standard 27.5-inch wheels. The MIK HD and SIDE rear rack system is designed for compatibility with MIK accessories. Consult your local Trek dealer for specific accessory compatibility.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the frame and components regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid high-pressure washers, especially near bearings and the electrical system.
- Chain: While the internal drivetrain is low-maintenance, it still requires occasional lubrication for optimal performance. Refer to the Shimano Nexus manual for specific recommendations.
- Battery: Store the battery in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid extreme temperatures. Fully charge the battery before first use and after extended storage.
- Brakes: Regularly check brake pad wear and rotor condition. Hydraulic brakes generally require professional servicing if leaking.
- Tires: Maintain proper tire pressure as indicated on the tire sidewall. Inspect tires for wear and damage.
