1. Get to know me
Everything you need to know about your e-bike.
1.1 Pedal assistance
Your e-bike has electrically powered pedal assistance. Thanks to the motor, it takes less effort to pedal. The motor provides appropriate assistance, depending on your speed and strength. So it's easy to start up and you also get a little extra nudge during the ride too.
The power assistance gives you more speed, so practise first out of traffic.
The effect of the motor kicks in as soon as you set off. It's best to engage the lowest level of assistance when setting off.
You can also use the bike without the pedal assistance. Bear in mind that the bike's lights don't work if the e-bike's power isn't switched on.
Switch off the pedal assistance when you get off. If you're walking and pushing your bike, use the 'Walk assist' option.
1.2 Assistance profiles and power levels
It's easy to adjust the pedal assistance to your preference and your route. Select the profile you want in the app and use the console on the e-bike to switch between various levels of assistance.
The degree of pedal assistance depends on your speed, the assistance profile you selected and how full the battery is.
The assistance of an e-bike motor is legally limited to a speed of 25 km/h (15½ mph). As you approach the maximum speed, the assistance from the motor will gradually decrease.
Important: the more powerful the assistance profile you select, the shorter the range of the battery.
1.3
General warning
Using a bicycle means you run the risk of injury or damage. It is therefore very important to keep in mind and adhere to all warnings mentioned in this manual. Several warnings are placed throughout the manual, recognizable by the (!!). See also 10.5 for an extensive overview of general warnings important for safe cycling practices.
2. Before we go
Prepare for your trip.
Important
2.1 Register your e-bike
You can use the VIN number (Vehicle Identification Number) of the e-bike to register and identify the e-bike and to activate the warranty.
You will find the VIN number on the steering head. If you have a middrive bike, the frame number will be above the crank axle.
Important: We recommend you make a note of both the VIN number, the number of the key and the date of purchase and keep it in a safe place. In the event of theft or loss, this will help us help you faster and better.
Guidelines
2.2 Guidelines for using your Keewee 2.0
Designed specifically for family use, the Keewee 2.0 provides enjoyable and safe rides for you, your loved ones and even your pets. The use of a bike trailer is not recommended and its use excludes the bicycle from warranty. Below are some important guidelines:
2.2.1 We designed your bike for:
Family outings, school rides, errands and visits to friends. Not intended for professional use, such as transporting goods.
Overloading can:
Decrease stability.
Cause structural damage to the frame.
Void the warranty.
2.2.2 Safe riding
Avoid riding off curbs while on the bike. Step off and keep the handlebars under control. Ride only on paved roads; unpaved surfaces can affect tire grip and the safety of driver and passengers.When encountering obstacles, make sure both front wheels pass over them simultaneously to maintain balance and avoid damage.
Always make sure passengers use the provided seatbelts, even on short trips.
When parking the bike be mindfull that the pedals will move and can hurt shins/knees or small children
2.2.3 Clothing advice
Helmet: Always wear a properly fitting helmet.
Clothing: Choose breathable, moisture-wicking clothing for comfort.
In cold weather, wear windproof and insulated layers. Wear bright or reflective clothing to be more visible. Avoid wearing loose fitting clothes due to the risk of clothes getting entangled between moving parts.
Shoes: Choose sturdy, comfortable shoes that won't slip off the pedals.
Road safety and rules (see Chapter 10).
2.2.4 Follow the traffic rules for cyclists in your country.
Local authorities can provide advice on safe cycling, including the proper use of bike lanes. By following these guidelines, you will get the most out of your Keewee 2.0 and enjoy safe family adventures.
2.2.5 Parking
Keeping your cargo bike safe and dry will help you enjoy it for as long as possible. Ideally, park it in a shed, storage room, or garage. This protects it from the elements and reduces the risk of theft. Of course, there are also ways to store your cargo bike outdoors — read more about that below.
Storing Your Cargo Bike Outdoors
If you don’t have access to covered storage, you can still park your cargo bike in your garden or on the sidewalk. In that case, we strongly recommend using a protective cover. A cargo bike cover shields your bike from the weather and helps prevent rusting.
Parking While You’re Out
When you're out and about with your cargo bike, it's important to choose your parking spot carefully. Make sure there’s enough space to safely load and unload children and that you can easily ride off again. Also, be mindful not to obstruct other road users.
Always use a high-quality lock when leaving your cargo bike unattended. More and more public places now offer dedicated cargo bike parking areas — these are the safest and most convenient spots to park and lock your bike securely.
When parking be carefull not to tip over the bike and gently place the bike on the stand.
2.2.6 Weather influences your riding experience and safety
Weather conditions have a significant impact on the performance, stability and safety of a cargo bike. Because of its size, weight and unique design, a cargo bike reacts differently to weather conditions than a regular bike.
Rain:
Reduces your grip: Wet surfaces increase the risk of skidding, especially when cornering with heavy load. Longer braking distance: The extra weight of the load increases braking distance, and wet brakes reduce braking performance.
Limited visibility: Rain can reduce your visibility and that of others.
How to deal with rain:
→ Reduce speed and avoid sharp turns.
→ Install high-quality disc brakes and maintain them properly.
→ Use waterproof lights and wear reflective clothing.
→ Cover your load well to keep it dry.
Wind:
Crosswinds: The large surface area of a cargo bike makes it more susceptible to strong crosswinds. Headwind: Cycling against the wind requires more effort, especially with a heavy load.
How to deal with wind:
→ Choose routes that avoid open areas in strong winds.
→ Distribute the load evenly for better stability.
→ Lean against the wind in crosswinds.
Snow and cold:
Slippery roads: The weight and long two-wheel design of your cargo bikes can cause unexpected skidding movements.
Difficult steering: Steering becomes more difficult due to less grip and extra resistance from snow.
How to deal with cold conditions:
→ Use winter tires or tires with spikes for better grip.
→ Reduce your speed significantly and avoid sudden movements.
→ Keep the weight of the load low and evenly distributed for stability.
Heat and sun:
Tires: High temperatures can increase tire pressure, which can lead to blowouts. Overheating of components: Prolonged heat can affect braking performance and make parts wear out faster.
How to deal with heat and sun:
→ Check tire pressure regularly, especially before and after long rides.
→ Put the cargo bike in the shade when not in use.
→ Provide ventilation for the load and carry plenty of water to stay hydrated.
By respecting these hazards and taking precautions, you can safely ride your cargo bike in a variety of weather conditions. Adjust your riding style and plan ahead for safe rides.
2.2.7 System weight and loading guidelines for your Keewee 2.0
Your bicycle has a maximum system weight of 230 kilograms. This includes the combined weight of the bicycle, driver, passengers and any luggage. Exceeding this weight may compromise the safety and structural integrity of the bicycle. Exceeding weight or loading unevenly will compromise the handling of the bike.
Dimensions of the cargo bike: length 265 cm, width 71 cm, wheelbase 200 cm, Weight of the bike: 50 kg.
Distribute the weight carefully and consider passengers and luggage to stay within the system weight, this includes the weight of the bike. Distribute by loading in the middle of the cargo part as much as possible and take a testdrive before entering traffic.
When transporting children make sure they always wear seatbelts and a helmet. Keep an eye on chlidren during driving and make sure they keep their arms within the vessel at all times.
Examples of different configurations:
Example 1 (Safe):
kg (Safe) Example 2 (Safe):
4 (Not
Tips for safe loading:
→ Make sure the total weight is within 230 kg.
→ Distribute the weight evenly to maintain stability.
→ When a load protrudes the top of the cargo area make sure the driver can see the road and traffic in a 360 degree radius
Settings Lock and gear system
2.3 Setting the height of the saddle
In order to determine the correct height for the saddle, sit on the bike and put your feet on the pedals in the lowest setting. If you knee is slightly bent, the pedals are correctly adjusted. If your leg is straight or you can barely reach the pedals, the saddle is too high. If you are able to put your foot flat on the ground, the saddle is too low.
Make sure the quick release is fastened tightly.
Don't forget to tighten all bolts properly after you've adjusted the saddle.
Watch out for the exposed helical springs under the saddle. Cover these to prevent a child's fingers from getting caught in them.
Getting it ready for the road
To ensure that the vehicle is ready for use, it is important to tighten the bolts and screws to the specified torque. Overtightening can lead to cracks and fractures. The table opposite lists all the prescribed tightening torques.
Important: Always remove the battery before performing maintenance to avoid injury and/or damage.
Recommended tightening torques
Handlebar plug bolt
2.4 Charging the battery
You can charge the battery both in the e-bike and separate from it.
Charging the battery in the e-bike
First connect the charger to the e-bike. Then connect the charger to the mains.
2.5 Lock your bike
You can find more information about the battery and charger in chapter 7.
Charging the battery separate from the e-bike
Release the battery and remove it from the rear rack of the bike.
The Keewee 2.0 comes without a lock. Locks must be ordered separately, depending on your individual needs and requirements. Keewee strongly recommends always using an approved lock when the bike is not in in use. Keewee also recommends the use of a security lock suitable for the Keewee 2.0, such as an AXA BigBlock XXL, in combination with an additional chain lock attached to a fixed nonremovable object.
2.6 Gear system
Shimano Nexus: your bike has 5 Shimano Nexus gears. By turning the rotating mechanism away from you move the gear to a lower (lighter) position. By turning the turning mechanism towards the gear moves to a higher (heavier) position. After frequent use, the gears may have to be readjusted. Make an appointment for this at a service point, this is considered regular maintenance. You will notice this is necessary when your lightest gear pedals heavier and/or your heaviest gear pedals lighter.
For the tightening of all nuts and bolts to the correct torque a torque wrench is needed. It is advised to let your local reseller do this. Wrongly maintaining the bike can lead to part failure, injury or death.
Important pointers for using your cargo bike
2.7 Tips for using your bike
Never ridden an electric cargo bike before? Don't worry, it's just a bike with a few things that are just a little different. To get you on the road safely, we have some tips for your passengers and for using your brakes:
Tip 1: Safety belts for children
Safety belts for children are not legally required in cargo bikes (note; this is under Dutch law). To prevent children from standing up unexpectedly and to ensure that they are better protected in traffic, we recommend always securing children with the three-point harness for more safety in the cargo bike.
Tip 2: Consider the size and weight of the electric cargo bike
With a cargo bike you are longer and wider than a regular bicycle or e-bike. You will notice this especially in narrow passages, sharp turns and when turning the bike. Cycling with a cargo bike means you will have to alter your cycling style from the way you are used to on a regular bike. Your turning circle is larger for example. You also carry more weight with an electric cargo bike.When cycling downhill you use more braking power. Cycling uphill requires more pedaling power. Fortunately, you hardly notice this because of the pedal assistance.
Tip 3: Balance on a traditional cargo bike
The balance on a traditional cargo bike feels a little less smooth at first. For a good balance it is important to distribute the weight on the cargo bike properly. Take corners gently and do not lean your body into corners. Pay extra attention to bumpy roads and take bumps straight with the cargo bike. Don't worry; you quickly get used to a cargo bike!
Tip 4: Make optimal use of your brakes
An electric cargo bike, with or without cargo, is heavier than a regular (electric) bike. This has consequences for your braking distance. Use your brakes properly and make sure you come to a safe stop,. Your Keewee bike is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes. This makes braking a lot easier because they are more sensitive than traditional V-brakes.
Tip 5: Pay attention to where you park your cargo bike
A cargo bike with a maximum width of 1 meter is considered a regular bike. You may park it on the sidewalk or the roadside, as long as you do not obstruct pedestrians or other road users.If your cargo bike is wider than 1 meter, you may also park it in a car parking space. Wherever you park, make sure your cargo bike is always clearly visible.
Tip
6:
Adjusting brake levers for a safe and comfortable ride
For a safe and comfortable ride, your brake levers should be in line with your riding position. Follow these steps to adjust them correctly:
1. Adjust your saddle height
a. Adjust the saddle to a height that is comfortable so you can pedal with your knees slightly bent
b. Sit on the bike and place your hands on the handlebars.
c. Rest your fingers naturally on the brake levers.
2. The brake levers should be in line with your arms for ergonomic and safe use.
a. Mark the position
b. Determine and mark the position where the brake levers connect to your fingers.
c. Adjust the levers with an Allen wrench
d. Use an Allen wrench to loosen the bolts that secure the brake levers
e. Adjust the levers to the marked position.
f. Tighten the bolts securely to hold the levers in place.
3. Test the adjustment
a. Grasp the handlebars and check that the brake levers feel comfortable and properly aligned
4. Make further adjustments if necessary. Correctly aligned brake levers provide better control and reduce strain while cycling, increasing safety and comfort.
Tip 7: Check your bike before departing
→ Brakes: Test the front and rear brakes to make sure they respond properly. Replace worn brake pads.
→ Chain and gears: Clean and lubricate the chain. Shift through all gears to check that they work smoothly.
→ Headlight: Aim the headlight so that the beam reaches the road up to about 10 feet in front of the wheel.
→ Note: Periodically check the proper adjustment and mounting height of your headlight. The headlight should be mounted between 400 and 1200 mm above the road.
→ Reflectors: Check that reflectors and lights are clean and in place. Make sure make sure they are not covered by luggage or passengers while riding.
→ Bolts and screws: Tighten all bolts and screws on the frame, handlebars, saddle and other parts properly to avoid problems while riding.
→ Accessories: Attach any accessories such as water bottle cages, panniers or luggage carriers securely.
Always remove the battery before performing maintenance to avoid injury and/or damage.
2.8 Charging the Battery
Danger!
Fire and explosion risk: Damage, overheating, or using the wrong charger can cause the battery to catch fire or explode. Water or improper storage can cause a short circuit. Deep discharging and long periods without charging can permanently damage the battery and make it unsafe. Battery fires release toxic fumes and can cause serious damage, injury, or even death.
You can charge the battery either in the e-bike or separately. The charger is only for indoor use. If possible, bring the bike inside to charge. If not, remove the battery and charge it indoors.
Charging in the e-bike:
→ First connect the charger to the bike (port is at the bottom right at the back).
→ Then plug it into the outlet.
More details can be found in Chapter 7.
Charging outside the e-bike:
→ Unlock and remove the battery from under the bench in the cargo compartment.
→ Connect charger to battery, then to outlet.
Always use the original charger. Other chargers can damage the battery or pose a fire risk.
Charge at room temperature:
→ Ideal: 10–25°C
→ Avoid charging when battery is very cold (<5°C) or hot (>35°C).
→ Let battery reach room temp before charging after a cold or hot ride.
Charge regularly, even when not riding.
→ Don’t leave battery empty for long periods.
→ If inactive (e.g., in winter): charge to 50–80% once a month.
→ Fully empty batteries can suffer permanent damage (deep discharge).
Avoid charging to 100% every time.
→ For daily use, 80–90% is better for battery lifespan.
→ Only fully charge for long rides.
Charge in a safe location:
→ Avoid high-risk places like wooden sheds.
→ Prefer non-flammable surfaces, well-ventilated.
→ Avoid unsupervised overnight charging if unnecessary.
Do not leave the battery permanently on the charger.
→ Once 100% charged: unplug it.
Check regularly for damage:
→ Cracks, swelling, smell, or leakage = stop using battery.

All about charging, range and maintenance of your battery.
Battery | Use and storage
7.1.1 Use and storage
In order to keep enjoying your e-bike for a long time, it's important that you use the battery correctly. The following tips will help you to get the most out of your battery:
Please note
→ Charge the battery as soon as it's empty. An empty battery can be irreparably damaged after just a few days, this type of damage due to 'deep discharging' is also not covered by warranty
→ Charge the battery regularly, in winter too or when you're not using it for a long period. A battery must be charged at least every three months, but every month is even better.
→ When transporting the bike by car, remove the battery or cover it.
Make sure you never let your battery run out completely before you recharge. This means you NEVER cycle until the battery is completely empty due to the risk of deep discharging. If it does run out completely, attach it to the charger as soon as possible.
7.1.2 Battery general information
The battery of your Keewee 2.0 is located beneath the bench at the back of the cargo part of the bike. Connect the battery to the charger by inserting the plug which can be found on the bottom of the cargo part on the side of the handlebar, it is a small plug with a battery logo on it. Remove the plug to place the charger. The battery can also be charged after removing it from the bike.
Placing or removing the battery
Take the battery and place it on the carrier. Start on the left side of the carrier and slide the battery into the carriage. Then gently push the left side onto the carrier until it clicks into place. Make sure the battery is firmly attached and does not come loose. Turn the key to the "locked" position to hold the battery in place then remove the key from the lock.
Points of attention
To extend the lifespan of the battery, it's important to regularly ride the bike until the battery is almost empty and then charge the battery fully. That's better than always topping it up after every trip.
→ If you won't be using the battery for some time, try to store it charged to roughly 70% (3-4 bars); and at a temperature of 10-15° C.
If you fail to follow the most important points for attention, the battery may become damaged in the short term. Keewee will examine a battery that is still under warranty and if there are signs of serious abuse, the warranty may expire. If you have any questions, please get in touch with your dealer.
Even when the battery is switched off, the bike's electrical system will use a tiny bit of power from the battery. If you're not going to be using the bike for a long time, it's best to store the battery separate from the bike.
The battery is splash-proof and therefore resistant to rain. However, it's better not to expose the battery to large amounts of water.
Important: Always remove the battery before performing maintenance to avoid injury and/or damage.
The bicycle must under no circumstances be charged in an environment where the charger may come into contact with water, such as (but not limited to) rain. (Charger is not water resistant and should under no circumstances be used in a humid environment).
In case if the battery fails and forms leakage make sure to follow the following instructions.
In case of;
Eye contact;
Flush eyes with plenty of water of least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin contact;
Remove contaminated clothes and rinse skin with plenty of water or shower for 15 minutes. Get medical aid.
Inhalation;
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. Use oxygen if available.
Ingestion;
Give at least 2 glasses of milk or water. Induce vomiting unless patient is unconscious. Call a physician.
Battery | Range
7.2 Range
The range of the e-bike is the total distance you can travel on a fully charged battery. This range depends on the capacity of the battery and the energy consumption of the motor. It is difficult to calculate the exact range of your bike because there are so many factors that play a role. You will find the average estimated range to be expected as below:
Advertised range is under ideal conditions. Real-life range depends on:
One long trip or a number of short ones
In general, one long trip uses less battery power than multiple short ones.
Temperature
drains the battery faster
Weight
The total weight on the bike reduces the range exponentially. For example, if you are carrying 10 kg of luggage, the range may be reduced by 10%.
Bear in mind that low temperatures will reduce your bike's range. The battery's capacity is measured at 25°C and will decrease (temporarily) when it gets colder.
Pedalling frequency
Your pedalling frequency (RPM) also influences the range of the e-bike.
The figures above are based on tests on flat ground, in temperatures of roughly 20°C, at an average speed of 20 km/h and a total weight on the bike of approximately 75 kg.
If you should experience less range Compared to above, bear the following in mind:
Assistance setting and own strength
The higher the assistance level set, the harder the motor has to work and the more power it uses. In addition, your own pedalling power has a lot of influence. The harder you pedal, the more battery you save. Generally speaking; the lighter cycling feels, the more energy is being used by the battery.
tires significantly reduce range (check every two weeks) Stopping and setting off
(often) for red traffic lights has a negative effect on the range.
off from a stationary position uses a relatively large amount of power and makes the battery run out more quickly.
In general, a higher RPM results in a greater range, so don't forget to use lower gears when setting off or climbing. That will help you get up to speed faster from stationary. You can compare the e-bike in this respect to a car, which also has more difficulty if you don't change down for a traffic light.
Tyre pressure
Tyre pressure also plays an important part in the range.
On an e-bike, you scarcely notice if your tyres are slowly losing pressure. Soft tyres will significantly reduce the range. You will find the minimum and maximum tyre pressures indicated on the side of the tyre. Pump the tyres up to the desired pressure and check them every two weeks.
At a temperature of 0°C, a fully charged battery has roughly 70% of its maximum capacity and at -10°C, this can decrease even more to 50%.
Take into account the fact that in the winter, your e-bike battery may well run out more quickly than you are accustomed.
Not only the temperature, but such factors as wind, rain and the type of road surface will all influence the remaining range of the battery.
The display on your e-bike shows consumption. It will tell you how much energy the motor is using at that moment. This allows you to closely monitor what effect things like changing to a lower gear, headwind or a climb have on the consumption. The lower the meter indicates, the further you can ride on your battery.
Here at Keewee, we do our very best to communicate the range as honestly and clearly as possible. So we choose to give you a detailed description of our testing circumstances so that you can make a good comparison with your own situation. Naturally, there's always the possibility of the range being greater or shorter due to the number of factors that can affect the operating radius. So we recommend you ride your bike's battery till almost empty a few times, certainly in the beginning. That will help you get to know your bike and find out what your personal range is.
Battery | Golden rules of battery use Battery |
7.3 Battery lifespan
The lifespan of the battery depends on how and how frequently it's used. With the tips in this manual, you can easily make your battery last for years. However, bear in mind that usage will always decrease a battery's lifespan.
A reduction in capacity of between 5 and 15% a year is perfectly normal.
In ideal circumstances, the battery can be charged and emptied between 1,000 to 1,500 times with the capacity gradually diminishing. If the end of the battery's lifespan is reached, it must be replaced.
Do not throw batteries, chargers, or accessories in household waste. All these components can be recycled in an environmentally friendly way. Bring them to one of the designated collection points. You can also take the battery to a local dealer.
7.4 Golden rules of battery use
Eventually, every battery will fail. This is simply the result of a natural aging process. To ensure that your e-bike battery lasts as long as possible, there are five golden rules to follow.
Golden Rule 1: Don't let the battery get too cold
An electric bike battery can take a lot these days, but temperatures below zero should be avoided because of the risk of condensation forming inside the battery. In severe frost (or temperatures below 10°C), chemical processes in the battery will cause it to become unusable.
Golden Rule 2: Keep the battery from getting too hot
Extreme heat is also harmful to the battery. Heat activates other chemical processes that damage the battery. Therefore, make sure the temperature of the battery does not exceed 40°C. Do not leave the battery in the burning sun for too long in summer. Preferably store and charge the bicycle battery at room temperature, i.e. between 10 and 20 degrees Celsius.
Golden Rule 3: Store the battery in a dry place
The battery is an electrical component and therefore does not mix well with water.
Do not store the battery in a damp shed (or worse: outside), but preferably indoors.
Golden Rule 4: Prevent the battery from draining completely
To prevent deep discharge, charge the battery regularly. Natural self-discharge causes the battery to self-discharge over time, which can eventually damage the battery cells beyond repair. Try charging the battery at least once a month (to about 90%). It is best to store the battery with a charge of between 30 and 80 percent.
Golden Rule 5: Use the right charger for the battery
Never use just any charger to charge your bike battery, but always use the charger that goes with your bike and battery. There are many different types of batteries (Li-ion, NiMh, NiCd) and they also differ in power and current. Using the wrong charger can damage the battery
In the past, when NiMh batteries were just coming on the market, it was recommended that you always drain the battery completely before recharging it. This is no longer the case! Nowadays, just the opposite is true: you should absolutely avoid draining the battery completely, as it will cause it to deteriorate faster.
Think Green
Do not dispose of batteries, chargers or accessories with household waste. All these components can be recycled in an environmentally friendly way. Take them to one of the special collection points.
You can also take the battery to the dealer in your neighbourhood.
8. Parts
Your whole bike taken care of completely.
Parts | Lights, Brakes, Tyres & Raincover
8.1 Lights
You can switch the lights on and off by briefly pushing the button below. The TFT colour display is also equipped with a light sensor that automatically switches on the lights. If you subsequently turn the lights on or off manually, this function will expire until you start up the display again.
8.2 Brakes
Hydraulic disc brakes
Disc brakes ensure a powerful braking sensations and give a strong sense of control. With disc brakes, you can adjust the brake blocks. To do so, use an Allen key to slightly loosen the bolts the caliper is attached to then tighten them again while keeping the brake handle firmly depressed.
Breaking
in disc brakes
Breaking in the brakes is essential for optimal performance and preventing squeaking:
→ Choose a clean, dry area.
→ Accelerate to 20 km/h and moderately brake with one brake until the bike comes to a complete stop.
→ Repeat this process 20 times for each brake.
If squeaking still occurs, you can:
→ Replace the brake pads.
→ Clean the rotors with a special brake cleaner.
→ Repeat the break-in process.
In order to avoid any unpleasant surprises while cycling, it's important to check beforehand which brake handle operates the front brake and which the rear brake. The left brake handle operates the front brake and the right one the rear brake.
Never use lubricant or regular cleaning agents on your brake blocks or rotors, since that can cause noise when braking and reduce the reliability of the brakes.
Be mindfull that in heavy rain your braking distance can increase, make sure to drive more carefully and brake earlier in heavy rain conditions
Some dealers have special machines to pre-break-in brakes before delivery.
Emergency braking and braking safely
Practice regularly to understand your bike’s braking capacity. In emergency stops:
→ Always use both brakes simultaneously to maintain control.
→ Extend your arms and shift your weight backward to stop quickly and stably.
Regular brake system maintenance ensures safety and performance.
Extra safety warning: Brake rotor heat After use, the rotors can become extremely hot. To avoid burns or damage, let the bike rest for at least 10 minutes before touching or approaching the brakes or rotors. This precaution ensures your safety and preserves brake components.
8.3 Tyres and desirable tyre pressure
Not all bicycles and, in turn, all tyres are suitable for any terrain. The Keewee Prestige E should only be used on paved/asphalt roads.
Tyre pressure greatly affects the range and comfort of your bike. So we recommend you always pump your tyres up properly. Optimal tyre pressure is between 3.5 and 6 bar. The sidewalls of all tyres display the correct inflation pressure recommended by the manufacturer. A handy aid: if you push your thumb against the top of the tread and it's possible to depress the tyre slightly, you have the correct pressure.
Check your tyre pressure every 2 to 4 weeks.
8.4 Raincover setup
With your Keewee bike you can buy a complementary rain cover. See appendix 2 at the end of the manual for a more expansive explanation on how to install the cover.
8.6 Engine modifications:
Parts | Engine modifications
What are engine modifications?
Motor modifications include physical changes to the motor system, such as modifying the internal components of the motor, changing the wiring, or changing the engine's power or performance settings.
Why are engine modifications problematic?
Unauthorized motor modifications can void the warranty and lead to potential safety problems, such as overheating, motor failure, or damage to the battery or other components.These modifications may also affect the performance and life of the motor, as the motor is designed to operate within specific operational parameters.
Avoid unauthorized modifications:
Only authorized service centers or the manufacturer may make engine modifications or repairs. If you have made modifications, review the warranty conditions to check if it still applies. If modifications have been made, it may be necessary to return the engine to its original condition.
Contact authorized Keewee dealers:
If you have made changes, contact an authorized Ananda service
provider to evaluate the motor and ensure that it is in a safe working condition. Some service centers may be able to help return the engine to its original configuration.
Restore to original condition If possible, restore the motor to its original configuration by undoing the changes so that the warranty can be honored.
Recommendations
to maintain your warranty
Regular maintenance: Have the engine system serviced regularly according to the maintenance schedule recommended by the manufacturer.
Authorized dealers: Always work with an authorized Ananda dealer or service center for repairs, upgrades or service to ensure that the warranty remains intact remains intact.
Retain documentation: Keep all purchase and service records in case you need to make a warranty claim needs to be filed.
By following these guidelines and avoiding unauthorized changes to the engine or software avoided, you can ensure that your Ananda M100 motor system remains under warranty and continues to operate safely for years to come. Always consult your local dealer for warranty and services.
9. Maintenance
Loving attention for your new e-bike.
Service
9.1 Servicing*
Important: Before performing any maintenance, remove the battery to prevent injury or damage.
Always use original or Keewee-recommended parts. Using original components ensures compatibility, maintains your warranty, and guarantees optimal performance and safety. Avoid unauthorized parts, as they may not fit correctly or meet specifications, leading to malfunctions or damage. Consult your Keewee dealer for approved replacements or upgrades.
Cargo bikes must be serviced by an authorized dealer. Periodic inspections are essential for longevity. Your cargo bike gives you freedom to go out with the family or bring your dogs to the forest, but avoid collisions, curbs, and take wide, safe turns. Use the bike and seats in the box as intended. With proper use and regular maintenance, your cargo bike will serve you well. Always check the maximum weights allowed in the cargo box.
It's time to have your bike serviced for the first time after either 250 km or 3 months. After that, maintenance is mainly dependent on how intensive your use of the bike is. So discuss with your dealer what would be an appropriate maintenance plan for your situation. Keewee advises having the bike checked at least every 6 months after the first service. Naturally, there's a lot you can do yourself to keep your bike in peak condition.
Our tips:
Always go to the first service appointment Parts such as spokes and cables can stretch after the first use of the bike. If they're not adjusted, there is a greater risk of spokes snapping or gears not engaging.
Regular inspections help prevent hazardous situations. Timely check and replace bearings and cables to avoid wear and defects. Neglecting maintenance can void your warranty and endanger the rider and passengers. Be sure to maintain your bike properly and on time!
Like all mechanical parts, an EPAC (Electrically Power Assisted Cycle) is subject to wear and high loads. Various materials and components may react differently to wear or fatigue. Once a component’s designed lifespan is exceeded, it may fail unexpectedly, potentially causing injury.
Any cracks, scratches, or discoloration in high-stress areas indicate the component has reached its end of life and must be replaced.
For composite components, impact damage may not be visible. The manufacturer must explain the consequences and inform users that composite parts should be returned for inspection or destroyed and replaced after an impact. These components may also be affected by long-term sun or heat exposure. Report any deformations to the dealer for risk assessment.
*We recommend you maintain your bike regularly in addition to the periodic servicing by the dealer.
If the bike has been in a collision of any kind (with a person/other bike/ wall) it is crucial for the bike to be checked by an approved reseller to ensure the structural integrity of the bike and safety of use. Contact your reseller to discuss a plan of action after a collision of any kind.
Cleaning
You can clean your e-bike by removing dirt with a soft brush and hot water. That'll get it gleaming like a showroom model again. Not only that, but regular cleaning makes sure your bike will be with you for longer. Do be careful not to use too much water around electronics and the battery. It's best to remove the battery before washing.
Don't use a high-pressure cleaner to spray the e-bike clean. The jet can damage the bike's electronics.
Aftercare
It makes sense to take care of certain parts of the bike immediately after cleaning it. Chrome components, unlacquered aluminium and stainless steel parts can be greased with acid-free Vaseline or Vaseline spray to prevent rust. Moving parts need grease/oil. We recommend you regularly lubricate the chain, cogs and axles. Naturally, your Keewee dealer can do this for you too.
Lubrication
Lubricate parts like chrome, unpainted aluminum, and stainless steel with acid-free grease or spray to prevent rust. Moving parts like chains, gears, and axles should be regularly oiled.
How do you keep your e-bike safe and looking good for longer?
→ Check the tyre pressure and tread regularly.
→ Check that the brakes are working properly and if the brake blocks are worn. Replace or repair them where necessary.
→ Check that there is enough tension in the spokes, that none of them are broken or that there is no twist in the wheel. If there is, visit your dealer.
→ Treat all moving parts and electrical contact points regularly with acid-free Vaseline spray.
Maintenance Service
9.2 General maintenance
For urgent repairs or a major overhaul, you can always go to your Keewee dealer. But you can also regularly run a check on your bike yourself. This checklist will help you keep your bike in peak condition:
Weekly (or every 600 km):
→ Is the pedal assistance working as it should?
→ Are all the gears working and does the e-bike change gear smoothly?
→ Is there enough tension on the chain?
→ Are both brakes working properly?
→ Is the saddle at the correct height? Is it still comfortable?
→ Are the handlebars adjusted correctly and are they at right angles to the front wheel?
→ Are all the spokes still whole?
→ Are the tyres pumped up to the right pressure? Is there still enough tread on the tyres?
→ Are all the lights working? Is the headlight properly adjusted?
→ Are all reflectors still clearly visible?
Monthly (or every 600 km):
→ Is your e-bike in need of cleaning?
→ Is there any damage visible?
→ Is the stand attached firmly and is it greased well?
→ Are the nuts and bolts of the brake calipers still tightened properly?
Are the brake blocks and discs in good condition?
→ Do you hear any strange sounds while you're cycling?
→ Are the seat post and handlebar stem positioned correctly and are they tightened properly?
→ Have the seat post and handlebar stem been greased?
→ Is there slack in the front fork, around the steering head bearings?
→ Are all nuts and bolts properly greased?
→ Is the lock still working smoothly and has it been greased?
→ Does the bell still work and is it in the right position?
→ Are the pedals attached properly and have they been greased at the screw thread?
9.3. Major service
Keewee recommends you schedule a service check-up every 3 months and a major service once a year. During a service check-up, your dealer will carry out the following:
Every 6 months (or 1,800 km):
→ Check wheels and tyres (twists in the wheels, tension of spokes, tyre pressure and tread)
→ Check all mounting components/nuts and bolts, and tighten where necessary
→ Check brake blocks for wear, adjust cable tension, check efficiency of brakes
→ Check steering head for slack, check attachment of handlebar stem and adjust if necessary
→ Clean chain, tighten and grease with Teflon spray
→ Electrical system: Fully charge the battery, clean pedal sensor with lukewarm water and sponge, treat contacts with contact spray
→ Check drive system of the e-bike and where necessary, replace defective parts
Annually (or 4,000 km):
→ Take apart, degrease, grease and put together the following parts:
- chain and cogset
- hub
- gear and brake cables
- steering head
- handlebar stem
- seat post
→ Check and grease the following parts:
- gears and shifters
- brakes and brake handles
- lock
- stand
→ Check spoke tension (tighten and/or true if necessary)
→ Check tyre pressure (replace tyres if necessary)
→ Check crankset and pedals and adjust
→ Check that lights are working properly and adjust
→ Check saddle for damage and suspension
→ Apply a protective layer of wax to the bike
→ Take the bike for a test drive to check that all parts are working as they should
- When replacing parts, always make sure that the original parts are put back in place
Recommendations to Keep Your Warranty Valid
Note: Before performing any maintenance on your cargo bike, remove the battery to prevent injury or damage.
→ Regular Maintenance: Maintain the motor system according to the manufacturer’s recommended service schedule.
→ Authorized Dealers: Always use authorized Ananda dealers or service centers for repairs and upgrades.

10.5 General safety risks and tips
10.5.1 Traffic rules
Electric cargo bikes may be subject to different rules per country and region. Make sure you know and understand the rules in your country.
For the Netherlands you can read the rules on the website of the Rijksoverheid, the article is called: “Welke regels gelden voor mijn elektrische fiets (e-bike, elektrische bakfiets en fatbike)?”
What are the rules for my electric bicycle?
You may ride your cargo bike on all bike paths, including one-way streets, footpaths and bus lanes that are open to bicycle traffic. If your cargo bike is wider than 75 cm, you may also ride on the road.
10.5.2
Tips for safe riding
Test your cargo bike: first try your new electric cargo bike without passengers or luggage. Make different turns, shift gears and brake. Cycle on different roads and try out the pedal assistance settings.
Plan your route: Determine your route in advance, for example with a navigation system and preferably choose the safest most accessible roads.
Be visible: Use good lighting, wear bright clothing and use reflective strips.
Keep an overview: Look around you regularly while cycling.
10.5.3
At intersections and roundabouts
Intersections: Cross preferably at a traffic light. Always pay attention to whether it is safe to cross.
Roundabouts: Cyclists usually have the right of way within built-up areas, but note exceptions. Indicate direction when leaving the roundabout.
10.5.4
Speed and obstacles
Keep a safe speed: The faster you drive, the longer it takes to come to a stop. Adjust your speed to the situation. Watch for bollards and curbs:
Warn fellow cyclists about posts in the bike lane and take curbs calmly and straight.
