How to check on your own bike
- Look at the motor casing near the bottom bracket for a printed or cast brand and model name.
- Check the handlebar-mounted display for its brand name and menu structure.
- See if the bike pairs with a smartphone app and check the app's name in the phone's settings or app store listing.
- Read the type plate or sticker on the frame, usually near the head tube or bottom bracket, for manufacturer codes.
- Cross-check the details with the original invoice or dealer handover paperwork.
