Tyre pressure
Keep pressure within the sidewall range for grip, comfort, and true range figures.
Care & keeping
The e-bike maintenance guide
Every Kimdyma is built to be lived on. A little rhythm of care keeps the torque sensor honest, the drivetrain quiet, and the range where it should be — season after season.
The cadence
A rhythm that follows your rides
Every rideEach ride
Glance at tyres, brakes, and battery charge before you roll out.
Weekly7 days
Wipe the frame, check tyre pressure, and give the chain a quick look.
Monthly30 days
Clean and re-lube the drivetrain, test every bolt torque.
Seasonal3 months
Inspect brake pads, spoke tension, and the motor mount.
ServiceYearly
Full workshop check — bearings, firmware, and battery health report.
Care tasks
Find the job you need
Frame wipe-down
A damp cloth on the frame and a soft brush around the motor keep grit out of bearings.
Chain clean & lube
Degrease, dry, and apply a thin drivetrain-specific lube for a silent, efficient chain.
Bolt torque check
Run a torque wrench over stem, seatpost, and motor bolts to spec.
Brake pad wear
Inspect pad thickness and rotor cleanliness; replace before the wear line.
Spoke & wheel true
Squeeze spoke pairs for even tension and spin each wheel to check for wobble.
Battery storage
Store between 30–60% charge in a cool, dry place when riding pauses for weeks.
Contact care
Keep battery and charger contacts clean and dry; never force a wet connection.
Walkthrough
The weekly ritual, step by step
Wipe it down
Damp microfibre over the frame, then a dry pass. Avoid pressure washing near the motor or battery seals.
Set the pressure
Check both tyres against the sidewall range and top up to your riding preference.
Spin & listen
Lift each wheel, spin it, and listen for rub or grind. Squeeze the brakes to confirm firm bite.
Chain glance
Backpedal and watch the chain — clean and supple, or dry and gritty? Lube if it looks thirsty.

Troubleshooting
If something feels off
Check battery charge and contact cleanliness first. If it persists, the torque sensor may need a firmware re-calibration — book a service and mention the symptom.
Cold weather, low tyre pressure, and headwind all sap range. Rule those out, then run a battery health report at your next annual service.
Usually contaminated pads or rotor. Clean the rotor with isopropyl alcohol; if the squeal remains, the pads likely need replacing.
A stretched chain or misaligned derailleur is the common cause. Check chain wear with a gauge and re-index the shifting if needed.
