Also make sure to check the concentricity on your wheels once a
month. Make sure to have them centered by your Coboc dealer if
they are not running smoothly anymore.
•
Check the handlebar screwing on your stem once a month. Also,
check the stem screwing on the steer tube. Use a torque wrench for
this (s. table Tightening torque).
•
Take time to inspect your handlebar for damage like dents, defor-
mation, scratches or holes. In case of doubt or after three years we
advise you to have your handlebar replaced by your Coboc dealer.
•
Check the clearance on your headset once a month (s. Adjusting the
headset).
•
Check for proper screwing of your wheels regularly. Use a torque
wrench to make sure the screws are still tight at least once a month
(s. table Tightening torque).
•
Check the motor cable (running along the left chain stay) for any
exposed contacts or other damage. A damaged motor cable might
lead to electric shocks and cause serious injuries. In case of defect,
please contact your Coboc dealer.
•
Only replace the components on your Coboc e-bike with original
parts or those that have been authorized by Coboc. All warranty
claims shall lapse if not doing so.
Your e-bike, just like all mechanical components, is exposed to
high usage and wear. Different materials and components may
react differently to wear and abrasion due to usage. Using a
component longer than the intended period of use may lead to sudden
failure and therefore injure the driver. Any kind of fissure, tear or color
change on those high usage parts indicates that the period of use as
expired. The according component should immediately be replaced.
Maintainance & Care
Wear parts
Especially check on the following wear parts regularly:
•
Tires and tubes
•
Chain, sprocket and chain ring
•
Brake pads
•
Brake discs
•
Ball bearings
•
Saddle and grips
Inspect the right fit of every screw and nut and, if necessary, tighten them
again. Always bear in mind the correct tightening torque (s. table Tigh-
tening torque).
Lubrication
To ensure efficient functioning and a long lifetime, certain parts require
regular cleaning and lubrication. Oils, fats and other lubricants should be
meticulously kept away from rims, brakes, brake pads and brake discs.

Repairing punctures
Changing the tires after puncture does not differ much from tire changes
for ordinary bikes. Only the rear wheel needs special attention when
assembling or removing it. This manual presupposes a certain skill set for
repairs or tire changes.
If this is not the case for you, please contact your local Coboc dealer.
