How much maintenance does the Wattbike Pro/Trainer require?Updated 7 days ago

The Wattbike Pro/Trainer is designed to require minimal maintenance and should withstand heavy usage.

If you notice any unusual symptoms, such as loud noises or grinding during operation, stop using your Pro/Trainer and contact Wattbike for support.

After Every Session

To ensure your Pro/Trainer stays in good condition remove all sweat, dust, dirt or other substances by using a clean, soft cloth and a non-abrasive liquid cleaner. We recommend using the Muc-off Care Pack. 

• Do not spray any cleaner directly onto the bike, always into the cloth first.
• Wipe down the exterior covers and frame, saddle, handlebar and monitor.
• Make sure that the handlebar stem and saddle stem are not over the MIN markers.

Weekly Maintenance

• Vacuum the floor under and around the Wattbike.
• Inspect the feet bolts, saddle and handlebar sliders and monitor bracket for looseness. Tighten as necessary.
• Inspect the saddle and handlebar stem adjustments. Tighten as necessary.
• Check that the pedals are secure. Tighten as necessary.
• Ensure that no sweat/ liquid is pooling on the metalwork or covers.
• Check the battery level on the monitor, from Main Menu, Properties, and then Battery. If the level is below 50% charge using the external charger for a period of 8-12 hours. We recommend that you do this every 1-2 weeks.

Monthly Maintenance

• Check for smooth and quiet operation of all moving parts.

Biannual Maintenance

• Oil the chain on your Wattbike Pro and Trainer every few months depending on the usage of your bike. Use a spray lubricant such as Muc-Off Dry Lube to coat the inside of the rollers of the chain - rotate the pedals backward around 3 times to ensure every roller has been lubricated.
• Lubricate, using a 3-In-One Multi-Purpose Spray Oil or similar product, the thread of the locking and adjustment levers and pedal threads.
• Check your monitor firmware version in the Properties section. Compare to the latest monitor firmware version and update if necessary.
