FAQs
How do I clean the Aquatex Triple Bike Cover?
You can clean the cover using a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Rinse with clean water and allow it to air dry completely before folding and storing.
Can I leave the cover on my bikes permanently outdoors?
While the cover is designed for outdoor use and is UV resistant, for maximum longevity, it's recommended to bring it indoors or store it in its zipped carrier when not in use for extended periods. Ensure bikes are cool and dry before covering.
What are the exact dimensions of the cover?
The dimensions are approximately 200cm in length, 105cm in height, and 110cm in width.
Will this cover protect against frost?
Yes, the cover will provide a barrier against frost, dust, and rain, helping to protect your bikes' components from the elements.
Is the cover theft-proof?
The cover is designed to reduce the visibility of your bikes, which can act as a deterrent to opportunistic theft. However, it does not offer physical security against determined thieves and should be used in conjunction with robust bike locks.
Can the cover be used on electric bikes?
The cover fits up to three bikes based on standard dimensions. If your electric bikes, when grouped, fit within the 200cm X 105cm X 110cm dimensions and do not have protruding hot components, it should be compatible. Always ensure bikes are cool before covering.
What should I do if the cover gets a small tear?
For minor tears, you can use a waterproof fabric repair patch. Ensure the area is clean and dry before applying the patch according to the patch manufacturer's instructions.
Troubleshooting
Cover does not fit well.
Ensure bikes are arranged compactly. Measure your bikes and compare them to the cover's dimensions (200cm X 105cm X 110cm). The elasticated base should help, but very large or oddly shaped bikes may not fit optimally.
Water seeping through.
Check for any tears or damage to the fabric, particularly along seams. Ensure the double PU coating is intact. For minor leaks, consider a fabric repair patch suitable for waterproof materials. Allow the cover to dry completely before checking for issues.
Cover is difficult to put on.
Ensure bikes are positioned neatly and not leaning awkwardly. It may be easier to put the cover on with assistance, especially for three bikes. Ensure the cover is oriented correctly before attempting to place it.
Material feels stiff or brittle.
This could be due to prolonged exposure to extreme cold or UV. Store the cover indoors in its carrier when not in use to prolong its life and flexibility.
