Electric bike maintenance

If you've purchased an electric bike or are contemplating a purchase, it's essential to consider the upkeep of your motor, battery, and other vital components.

Regular servicing can address many of the typical issues that may arise with e-bikes and can prevent minor glitches from snowballing into major repairs.

We advocate for an initial service 30-days from purchase, during which you'll have the opportunity to engage with a skilled mechanic. They'll demonstrate proper gear usage, battery charging techniques, and impart crucial maintenance tips. This initial service ensures you're well-versed in the fundamentals, enabling you to maintain your bike effectively between servicing sessions, thus ensuring its continued smooth operation. Failure to undergo this 30-day service often results in cyclists delaying servicing until an issue arises. In such cases, a preliminary bike inspection becomes necessary for the mechanic to assess the situation before proceeding with any necessary repairs.

Following your 30-day service, consult your e-bike owner’s manual for guidance on the recommended servicing intervals. Typically, e-bikes should undergo servicing every 1000 kilometers or 600 miles as a general rule of thumb.

In the interim between services, regular maintenance tasks such as post-ride cleaning and routine checks of brakes, tires, and chains are essential to uphold the bike's performance.
