To keep your Antic Bike in optimal condition, it is essential to follow safe and effective methods for transporting and storing it. Proper care not only protects the bike's design and exterior, but also extends its longevity and performance, ensuring it is always ready for your next adventure.
Transporting Your Antic Bike Safely
When moving your Antic Bike from one location to another, consider the following guidelines to keep it secure and damage-free:
- Use a padded bike rack or specialized transport system designed for Electric Scooters to secure the bike firmly and prevent scratches or impact damage.
- Avoid placing heavy objects on or near the bike during transport to prevent frame or component damage.
- If transporting the bike outdoors, cover it to protect against unexpected weather conditions. Antic is water resistant, but not waterproof.
Storing Your Antic Bike Properly
Correct storage practices protect the bike’s electronics and mechanical parts when it’s not in use. Follow these best practices:
- Always store your Antic Bike indoors in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations to safeguard battery health and prevent component wear.
- Before storing, clean the bike by wiping down dirt, dust, and moisture to avoid corrosion and maintain its retro aesthetic appeal.
- For extended storage periods, charge the battery to approximately 40-50% and avoid letting it discharge completely to preserve battery longevity. We recommend checking on it monthly to ensure it stays between 40-50%.
- Regularly inspect the bike during storage to check for loose bolts, proper tire pressure, and overall condition to address any issues promptly.
- Avoid placing heavy items on the bike while stored, as this could damage the frame or components.
