How To Maintain Your Electric Bike
Charge Your Battery Properly
Each manufacturer provides appropriate charging equipment and specific instructions for proper and safe charging.
Keep Tires Properly Inflated
Underfilled tires can cause issues, especially when riding at high speeds. Make sure to keep a flat repair kit on you and know how to use it.
Check Your Brakes
This applies to any type of bike, but with electric bikes, it’s especially important. You need to be able to brake comfortably, even at higher speeds.
Clean & Lube Your Chain
One of the most important parts of any bicycle, a well-maintained chain works with the drivetrain and allows you to shift gears. Regularly cleaning and lubing it is crucial!
Schedule Regular Maintenance
If you’re riding your electric bike frequently, take it in for service at least once per year. This will extend your bike’s life and keep you riding longer.
