Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup: The bike arrives mostly assembled. Basic setup may involve attaching the pedals, adjusting the saddle height, and ensuring tires are properly inflated. We recommend a professional bike shop perform a final safety check and tune-up before your first ride.
Compatibility: The bike is designed for standard bicycle accessories. The MIK HD and SIDE rack system is compatible with a wide range of MIK-certified accessories, such as baskets, panniers, and child seats. Battery charging requires a compatible Bosch charger.
Care:
- Battery: Store the battery in a cool, dry place between 10-20°C (50-68°F) and charge it regularly, even if not in use for extended periods. Avoid deep discharge.
- Drivetrain: The internal Shimano Nexus hub and closed chain case require minimal cleaning. Periodically wipe down the chain case and the visible parts of the drivetrain. Check for proper chain tension if applicable.
- Brakes: Hydraulic disc brakes generally require less adjustment than rim brakes. Keep the rotors clean and avoid contact with oily substances. Consult a professional for brake fluid changes.
- General Cleaning: Clean the frame and components with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid high-pressure water jets, especially around the motor and battery area.
- Tires: Maintain proper tire pressure as indicated on the tire sidewall for optimal performance and to prevent flats.
