Powerplay Owner's Manual

General maintenance

Please note that electric assist bikes put more stress and strain on components than
traditional mountain bikes. The frequency of maintenance and inspection should
increase in consequence, to maximize safety, performance, and longevity.
Seasonal charging
If you store your bicycle for a period of 3 months or longer, ensure to charge your
battery at least every 3 months. Failure to do so may cause damage to the battery, and
a loss of capacity.
A good way to manage storage charging is to set calendar reminders in your computer
or mobile device.
Cleaning
A clean bike is a happy bike. The best way to clean a dirty bike is with a bucket of warm
soapy water. Avoid using a pressure washer.
NOTE: Do not directly spray water at any electrical component.
