THOK POINTS and SERVICE CENTERS allow you to have your online-purchased bike delivered and benefit from free assembly and road preparation services. They also serve as assistance centers for regular (scheduled) and extraordinary (warranty) maintenance, ensuring the best service for THOK customers.

For step-by-step assistance, you can contact us or watch videos directly on our website. Batteries are delivered in "Deep Sleep Mode," and activation requires a full recharge before use.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Whom do I contact in case of issues?
For issues with THOK E-Bikes branded components (frame, seatpost, etc.), it is necessary to contact a THOK Point or THOK Service Center. If none are available nearby or for issues possibly covered by warranty, you need to fill out the WARRANTY REQUEST FORM and send it to the email address provided, along with all required documents.
For issues or warranty requests for components from other brands (such as motor, battery, suspensions, etc.), contact any THOK Point, THOK Service Center, or Shimano Center. If none are available nearby, it is necessary to contact the supplier directly.
How often should I have my Thok serviced?
All components are subjected to stress due to the normal use of the e-bike; some are subject to wear, and periodic replacement may be necessary. Therefore, we recommend following the instructions in your Thok user manual and conducting regular checks based on usage frequency.
Watch a short video on the periodic checks to be performed on your e-bike.
The first service should be done after approximately 250 km.
Can I mount a child seat on my e-bike?
The installation and use of child seats are strongly discouraged. The e-bike with such accessories mounted immediately loses its warranty. We recommend instead using a child trailer with a through axle attachment.
How do I adjust the suspension on my e-bike?
For proper adjustment of the suspension, carefully read the supplier's instructions. Correct adjustment involves (SAG), sitting on your e-bike, compressing the suspension to 25% of the total travel.
How are the assistance levels set by default on my Thok?
Thok e-bikes come with the default setting in "Dynamic" mode, which means:
ECO --> MEDIUM
TRAIL --> MEDIUM
BOOST --> MEDIUM.

You can conveniently modify these parameters from your smartphone using the E-TUBE PROJECT application.
Which tires can I mount?
For dual-suspension models:
FRONT
• 27.5X2.8
• 29X2.6
REAR
• 27.5x2.8
• 29x2.30
For hard-tail models:
FRONT and REAR
• 27.5x2.8
• 29x2.6
Note: The tire tread pattern can affect its overall dimensions.
Can I transport my THOK on a bike rack?
Yes. We recommend using a bike rack approved for the specific transport of e-bikes, adhering to road regulations (we recommend bike racks with a tow hook).
It is advisable to remove the battery before transport to minimize the weight of the e-bike.
How much does my e-bike weigh?
The weight of each model is indicated on the technical specifications table on the product page.
How should I wash my bike?
The use of a pressure washer is not recommended, as the high pressure can damage electrical components, bearings, and other parts. Use a low-pressure stream and non-aggressive detergent to preserve plastic components and finishes. Turn off the battery before washing, leaving it mounted on the frame to avoid exposing electrical contacts directly to water. After washing, ensure all electrical contacts are thoroughly clean and dry before reactivating the system. Do not immerse the e-bike in water.
I see an error message on the display, what should I do?
First, ensure that the firmware is updated to the latest available version (procedure in the tutorials). Otherwise, you can contact us by filling out the form
How long is the warranty on my e-bike?
THOK e-bikes come with a 2-year legal warranty from the date of the purchase invoice. To avail yourself of the warranty, it is necessary to register your e-bike in the "REGISTER YOUR BIKE" section.
For additional information regarding the warranty terms for THOK, you can refer to the "LEGAL WARRANTY" section on this website.
BATTERIES
What is the battery range?
The range depends on various factors such as the user's weight, the selected assistance level, the terrain being traversed, etc. With a 504Wh battery, the maximum range is approximately 100km in ECO mode; with a 630Wh battery, there is about a 20% increase in range.
How long does it take for the battery to charge?
A 630Wh battery takes approximately 5.5 hours to fully charge (from 0% to 100%).
Do I need to take any special precautions to use my THOK in winter?
Before use, keep the battery at a stable temperature between 10°C and 20°C for a few hours. During periods of inactivity, store the battery in a cool and dry place with a stable temperature between 10°C and 20°C, maintaining a residual charge of approximately 70%. For proper storage and usage guidelines, always refer to the battery's user manual.
I won't be using my e-bike for an extended period; what precautions should I take?
If you anticipate not using your bike for an extended period, store the battery in a cool and protected place at a stable temperature between 10°C and 20°C. Maintain the battery charge at around 70%. Do not expose it directly to sunlight or rain. If the charge is not kept at an optimal level, the battery may reach 0% after approximately 15 months and can no longer be recharged.
At what speed does the motor assist me?
The Shimano Steps system is designed to assist pedaling up to 25 km/h, as mandated by law. While it is possible to pedal at higher speeds, the motor will not provide assistance beyond this limit.
Can I modify the maximum speed of my e-bike?
In theory, it is possible, but we strongly advise against it as it would immediately void the warranty, even if factory values are restored. Additionally, depending on the country, it may also be against the law.
Is the new battery already charged?
No, the batteries are delivered in 'Deep Sleep Mode.' They need to be fully charged before use to activate them.
Can I charge the battery even if it's not completely depleted?
Yes, lithium-ion batteries can be charged from any state of charge without affecting their functionality.
How much does a replacement battery cost, and where can I buy one?
You can purchase a replacement battery directly online in the spare parts section of our website.
What is the lifespan of a battery?
Shimano batteries come with a 2-year warranty. A 20% loss of total cell capacity is expected after approximately 1000 charge cycles (1 charge cycle is defined as a charge from 0% to 100%).
What should I do if my battery is defective?
First, check if the battery is charged. If possible, test it on another e-bike with the same battery support to determine if the issue is indeed related to the battery. If you confirm that the battery is defective, contact a THOK Point, Service Center, or Shimano Center. If there are no service points nearby, fill out and submit the form to request a battery replacement.
