eBike Maintenance

To clean the chain & gears you can rinse while rotating the chain and we recommend using a degreaser on the chain the cassette and the crank but be careful not to degreaser on the brake disc as this could affect the eBikes braking ability.

You can also rotate the chain and apply a drop of chain lube each link to the inside of the chain to help maintain a smooth ride. 

The brake disc should only be washed with water and a sponge, avoid using soap on brake disks.  Use a dry cloth to wipe the chain rotate the crank while holding a cloth on the chain to remove excess water and grime.

Batteries can be recharged thousands of times, so even regular riders will get multiple years of use before needing to replace a battery. 

For long-term storage, it’s better to store the battery with a 30% to 60% charge.  *NB:  Cold temperatures can quickly drain the lithium-ion batteries so store your battery (or the bike if the battery isn’t removable) in a heated space whenever temperatures get colder. 

To charge your battery simply plug in the charger and let it charge all the way. Once fully charged, your charger should indicate this in some way (e.g., an LED will turn from red to green). Once fully charged, you may want to remove the charger.

Make sure to always only use the charger that came with your bike and after a long ride always let the battery cool before charging the bike.

Having a motor plus a battery, as well as a beefier frame to support those components, makes eBikes far heavier than conventional bikes. So it’s important to ensure you have a good set of tires underneath your e-bike. 

Keep tires inflated properly. Check psi levels and top tires off before each ride because underinflated tires don’t roll efficiently nor support your bike well.

Tire psi levels will also have a big impact on your battery life as an underinflated will increase drag and decrease efficiency. An over-inflated tire will affect the grip. Be sure to check your tire for correct psi levels.
