6. Maintenance & Cleaning
How to clean my drivetrain?
The chain and drivetrain are the primary wear components of your Moustache electric assist bike (EAB). A clean and properly lubricated chain reduces friction and wear, which results in more efficient power transmission and faster, quieter gear changes.
- Apply a specific detergent to your drivetrain, making sure not to touch the brake pads.
- Slowly turn the pedals clockwise to guide the chain through the brush and remove dirt and oil residue. (If you turn the pedals counter-clockwise, the chain will not move, and the pedals will spin freely)
- Use a clean cloth to wipe off excess detergent from the chain.
- Then apply a suitable lubricant along the entire length of the chain, ensuring it is well distributed.
Warning: Do not get lubricant on the brakes. Wipe off excess lubricant with a clean cloth. Be careful not to apply too much, as this could attract more dirt.
