Do you ride a speed pedelec? Then be sure to also read our blog with tips on what you should take into account.
Battery
The energy source of the motor, which largely determines the range
Range
Depends on: assistance level, weight (bike + rider), headwind, temperature, terrain, etc.
Indicative values:
400 Wh → 40–80 km
500–750 Wh → 80–150 km
Capacity (Wh)
= amount of stored energy. More Wh means greater range
Standard: 400–750 Wh
Dual battery / range extender: up to approx. 1250 Wh
Charging
Via a wall socket
On the bike (via charging port) or separately (removable battery)
Charging time: 3–7 hours

Pannier bag (bike bag)
If the bike bag is wet, hang it up to dry properly to prevent mold formation. Clean with water and, if necessary, mild soap. Remove metal parts if possible to prevent rust.

Maintenance tips
Good maintenance keeps your bike in top condition and ensures a comfortable riding experience.
1. Bedding-in (braking)
New brakes perform best after a short bedding-in period.
- Ride a few hundred meters and brake gently
- Avoid coming to a complete stop
- Let the brakes cool down in between
- Repeat this process
- Afterwards, brake 2 to 3 times briefly and firmly
2. Battery
This is how you extend the lifespan of your battery:
- Let the battery drop below 10% for the first 3 cycles, then fully charge it
- Always start in a light gear
- If you are not using the battery, store it at around 50%
- Do not leave a battery completely empty
3. Tires and tire pressure
- The recommended pressure is indicated on the side of the tire
- Higher pressure = less rolling resistance on flat terrain
- Lower pressure = more comfort and grip on rough terrain
- Consider winter tires for extra grip

Cleaning your bike
1. Belt maintenance
A belt drive is low-maintenance.
- Cleaning can be done with water and a bit of soap
- Average lifespan:
- E-bike: ± 15,000 km
- Speed pedelec: 7,000–10,000 km
- City bike: up to 20,000 km
- After this distance, replacement may be necessary
2. Chain maintenance
A chain requires a bit more attention.
- Regular cleaning helps reduce wear, especially in wet or dirty conditions
- Use a chain cleaner and rinse with water
- Afterwards, dry thoroughly and re-lubricate
- Average lifespan: ± 3,500 km
Chain wax can help: it keeps dirt out better and ensures a smoother drivetrain
3. Maintenance products
Use suitable maintenance products, such as those from Muc-Off. These are available in our stores.

Don’t panic! This is usually caused by dirty brake pads and brake discs. It often happens in wet or muddy conditions.
You can easily clean this yourself:
- Remove the wheel from the bike so you can take out the brake pads
- Lightly sand the brake pads with sandpaper to remove dirt and grease
- Use a brake cleaner, such as “Disc Brake Cleaner” from Muc-Off, available in our stores, for both the brake pads and discs, and clean everything with a clean cloth

A belt on an e-bike lasts on average around 15,000 kilometers, and on a speed pedelec about 7,000 to 10,000 kilometers. If you are getting close to this mileage, we recommend checking your belt regularly.
Nowadays, most belts have a blue anti-wear layer. When this layer starts to wear off, it is time for replacement. If you notice cracks in the belt, it is also best to replace it in time.

In our stores, you can buy anti-squeak spray. This creates a light moisture layer on the belt, allowing it to engage more smoothly with the sprocket while still feeling dry.
One circular spray over the belt is sufficient.
In our stores, we are happy to help you further with this.

The tire pressure is usually found on the sidewall of the bicycle tire itself. It is often displayed as a range of numbers, followed by the unit “PSI” (pounds per square inch) or “bar”.
The exact location and how this information is shown can vary depending on the tire brand and type. Sometimes the text is embossed or printed in a contrasting color to improve readability.
-
Yes, it is definitely possible to overinflate a bicycle tire. This can have several negative consequences.
When a tire has too much pressure, it reduces riding comfort, especially on uneven surfaces. In addition, excessive tire pressure increases the risk of a blowout, particularly in high temperatures or on rough roads, because the tire becomes less flexible and absorbs shocks less effectively. Furthermore, an overinflated tire can lead to faster wear of both the tire itself and the rim.
-
No, the same tire pressure is not ideal for all types of terrain. The pressure you choose should be adjusted to the type of surface you are riding on in order to ensure an optimal riding experience.

A standard service is usually completed within one working day. More complex repairs may take a little longer, for example if specific parts need to be ordered. In such cases, we will always inform you in good time about the expected turnaround time and take the delivery time of any required parts into account. This way, you always know what to expect and when you can collect your bike again.
-
There are several options, depending on whether you lease or purchase your bike.
The options are:

In case of leasing – if allowed by your employer:
- at the bike dealer where you ordered your bike
-
In some cases, we can provide a replacement bike. Please ask about this when making your appointment.
