What your bike shop can do
There are a number of services you may need for your MODMO ebike that can be carried out by a regular mechanic. Here is a list of things you can go to fix at your local bike mechanic. You can always reach out to our team (at [email protected]) but for these things you shouldn’t need to.
Maintenance at home
When to ask MODMO
While the above jobs can be done by any mechanic, there are some repairs that are specific to our ebikes and can only be addressed by a MODMO-certified partner company. Reach out to us at [email protected] and we will arrange repairs for you via our nearest outlet.
Here are the jobs that will need to be covered via our customer service team and a mechanic trained on our proprietary parts:
- Replacing any of the electrical components (Controller, wiring, LCD handlebar etc.) Our wiring layout is unique to our bike, so if you are experiencing an issue where an electrical component needs to be repaired or replaced, it will need the attention of a Modmo trained mechanic.
- Battery issues - If your battery is causing an issue, it will need to be tested with a mulit-meter. If your battery is faulty or has died within the charging cycle limit and/or the warranty timeline, we will arrange a replacement for you.
- Motor issues - If your bike is experiencing issues with the motor, it will need to be assessed then repaired or replaced by a Modmo trained mechanic.
