Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Brake Inspections: Periodically check the hydraulic fluid levels and brake pad thickness, especially if you ride in wet conditions frequently.
- Drive System Care: Keep the drivetrain clean and lubricated. Do not use high-pressure water washers directly on the motor or electrical components.
