Maintenance Schedule - Velotric Discover 1

Regular maintenance is important to your safety and the longevity of your Ebike. Any part of a poorly maintained Ebike can break or malfunction leading to an accident.

Velotric strongly recommends that you follow a regular maintenance schedule based on normal use. If you ride your Ebike more than the time indicated, perform maintenance more frequently than recommended.

If a part malfunctions, check and service it immediately, or seek help from a certified, reputable mechanic. If a part has worn or damaged, replace it before the next time you ride the Ebike.
