How to Maintain Your E-Bike
Maintaining your electric bike doesn't require much effort. Here's what you need to do to keep it running smoothly:
-
General Maintenance: Service your e-bike every 700-1,000 kilometers or at least every six months. Do basic checks regularly.
-
Check Tire Pressure: Ensure tires are properly inflated for stability and efficiency. Replace tires every 2,500-3,000 kilometers or as needed.
-
Inspect Brakes: Regularly check brake pads for wear, especially on powerful bikes. Replace pads every 600-800 kilometers for high-powered bikes.
-
Grease Bearings: Reduce friction in the motor and drivetrain by greasing bearings regularly.
-
Monitor Connections: Check electrical connectors for signs of rust, especially if riding in wet conditions.
-
Clean Drivetrain: Keep chains, cranks, and sprockets clean to maintain efficiency and prevent wear.
-
Test Suspension: Ensure a smooth ride by testing suspension regularly.
-
Fix Loose Parts: Check for loose screws or components and tighten them as needed.
-
Battery Maintenance: Follow a comprehensive battery care guide for optimal performance.
-
Lubricate Chain: Clean and lubricate the bike chain regularly to reduce friction and prevent rust.
-
Safety Checks Before Every Ride: Check tire pressure, tighten loose parts, and verify battery power.
-
Cleaning: Wipe down the bike after every ride to remove dirt and grime. Avoid high-pressure washers and never expose electrical components to water.
-
Professional Tune-Up: Take your bike for a professional cleaning and tune-up at least once a year, or more frequently for heavy use.
