8.2.2.
Checking the tyres
Regularly check the tyre pressure of your e-bike. See chapter 5.7 for more details about the tyre
pressure. An excessively low tyre pressure affects wear, the effort you must exert to cycle and
the battery range.
Regularly check the tyres of the e-bike for wear. If the tread in the middle of the tyre is no longer
visible, the tyre must be replaced. When checking the tyre, also check for cracks. If you observe
deformations in the tyre, the tyre is worn and must be replaced. Contact your Dutch ID dealer
for the correct replacement parts.
8.2.3.
Checking the brakes
A decrease in braking force may be caused by:
• Worn brake blocks. If the brake blocks have a thickness of less than 0.5 mm, they must be
replaced. Have this done by a Dutch ID dealer.
• Air in the brake lines. It may also be necessary to bleed air out of the brake cables to rectify a
reduction in braking force. Have this done by a Dutch ID dealer.
• Defective brake line. Check for leaks in the brake line. This affects the braking force and must
be repaired. Have this done by a Dutch ID dealer.
• Check the brake lines for damage or excessively sharp bends. The brake lines must not be
kinked or crushed, as this affects the braking force of the bike.
8.2.4.
Replacing lamps
When replacing the lamps, check that the lamps are compatible with the Bosch e-bike system
and that they have the correct voltage. In the event of broken or defective lighting, contact a
specialised Dutch ID dealer.
NOTICE
Make sure the old lamp is replaced with a lamp with the same voltage.
8.3. Annual check by a Dutch ID dealer
Have your e-bike checked and serviced by a Dutch ID dealer at least once annually. If you use
the e-bike a lot, we recommend having your e-bike checked at least every 1000 km.
Ensure that you store the documents related to the first service and your proof of purchase in a
safe place in case you need them for future warranty claims.
Many of the moving parts of the e-bike are subject to wear. Have the following aspects of the
e-bike checked to keep the e-bike in a good and safe condition and to maximise the lifespan of
the e-bike:
• condition of the power system.
• available software updates for the e-bike system.
• condition of the battery.
• condition of the disc brakes and brake blocks.
• condition and operation of the brake lines.
• condition and tension of the toothed belt.
