OTHER MAINTENANCE

Your EW-36/EW-66 should be checked once a year for a

thorough inspection and adjustment. This can guarantee

the comfort, safety and the normal operating life of the

EW-36/EW-66

Front and Rear Brakes
The adjustment of the front brake is the same as in a

common motorcycle. It is very important to brake

effectively and to be sure that the battery shut-off device

is in good condition. When the brake lever is released, the

wheel should spin without resistance. If it drags, it will

waste a lot of electric power. You should change the

brake’s shoes when they are worn to one-third of their

original thickness.
The rear drum brake is very similar to the brakes on

electric scooter products. When this brake is exhausted,

a squealing sound will be heard upon brake application.

Front and Rear Tires
The changing method of the front tire is the same as

common bicycle. It is more complex to change the rear

tire because of the motor and brake assemblies, and

associated wiring and cabling. If you are not comfortable

with undertaking this operation, you can ask your

servicing dealer or mechanic to change it.
