Frequently asked questions
Topic Power Stage / Gas Spring
Question: Why do I have to select a power level, can't I just use the strongest power level for all bicycles?
Answer: The force levels are intended to ensure the most comfortable operation possible.
Question: What happens if the bike is significantly lighter than the selected power level?
Answer It can cause problems when parking out. Any excess kg (i.e. excess force) in the gas strut must be overcome by the operator to park the bicycle out. Therefore, the excess force here should be as low as possible.
Question: what happens if the bike is heavier than the selected power level?
Answer: The bicycle is not held in the upper parking position by the gas pressure spring.
Question: Is the gas spring replaceable?
Answer: Of course, every Bicyclejack frame is designed for a minimum load of 31 kg. The gas pressure spring makes all the difference. These gas springs can be replaced quite easily. All gas springs are available in the shop and are compatible with all Bicyclejack types. The reason for a change can be new bikes/pedelecs with different bike weights or wear (according to the manufacturer 30,000 cycles) of the existing gas spring.
Question: i took the bike weight from the manufacturer's site, is this sufficient for choosing the Bicyclejack force level?
Answer: Very important: no! Most bicycle manufacturers only specify a weight, without taking into account, for example, different frame sizes or equipment variants. In addition, attachments such as bicycle locks, bags, etc. can have a decisive influence on the parking weight. We advise you to stand on a scale together with the bike to determine the bike weight.
Topic corrosion protection ("galvanised" or "not galvanised")
Question: when should I additionally choose the option "galvanised?
Answer: Whenever there is an increased risk of corrosion, i.e. the bicycle parking area is exposed to increased moisture (outside wall of house, shelter outside) or is located near the sea. All Bicyclejacks are colour powder-coated (of course with a UV-stable paint) The galvanic zinc coating protects against corrosion and is applied directly to the metal, i.e. below the colour coating. Visually, the two types are indistinguishable. Due to the high use of materials in our quality products, you will enjoy your Bicyclejack for a very long time.
