Battery charge

The battery is the most important part of the electric bike. Without it, it cannot work. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that the battery is always charged. When using your electric bike, try to keep the battery charged between 20 % and 80 % of its capacity to prolong its life. Avoid letting the battery discharge completely, as this can damage the battery and reduce its ability to store energy.

Tire inflation

An underinflated tire can make your ride harder and shorten the life of your tires, so it's important to check your tire pressure regularly. The recommended pressure can vary depending on the type of tire, so it's important to ask your retailer what pressure is recommended for your tire type. You can also find this information on the sidewall of the tire. Make sure to inflate your tires to the recommended pressure using a bike pump.

Cleaning the chain and brakes

Regular cleaning of the chain and brakes is essential for smooth operation. The chain should be cleaned and lubricated regularly to prevent it from drying out and breaking. Use a quality chain lube to lubricate the chain. The brakes should also be cleaned regularly to remove dust and debris that can reduce their effectiveness. Use a brake cleaner and a rag to clean the brakes. Did you know that our team offers an e-bike maintenance service?!

Electric bikes are motorized vehicles, so it is important to regularly check the safety components to avoid accidents. Check the brakes regularly to make sure they are working properly. Also check that the front and rear lights are working and visible. Check that the tires are not worn and that the spokes on the wheels are not loose.
