To tell you the truth, E-bikes are honestly a blessing. It made biking easier for people with health issues, reducing transport issues and so on. Like everything in this world needs love and caring, e-bikes need it too. And to make anything last longer, proper care is necessary, for everything, there are different criteria for each thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we will tell you the top tips to take care of your e-bike<\/a> to make it last longer! Let\u2019s get into it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pay Attention!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First things first, notice the signs as you set for your ride. If it\u2019s been a couple of months since you started your e-bike adventure, pay attention to the way your vehicle is working. Do you hear anything unusual? Do the brakes make weird noises? Are the tires wobbly? Of course, bikes will make noises (as you go through the bumpy roads) but watch out for the red flags too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An e-bike that has been handled well would be sound and quiet. That\u2019s the general idea of it. However, with an electric bike<\/a>, you will definitely hear the motors and engines working their magic. The moment you find discomfort from the rides is when you have a closer inspection of your e-bike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That discomfort can come from gears, or thru-axles, wheels, brakes, and so on. Make sure to properly check those and if you find anything strange, it\u2019s definitely service time! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schedule Maintenance Days! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of service time, scheduling maintenance checks are essential. You might be an expert in the field but some people are made to do the work for you. Even if you\u2019re used to doing stuff on your own, getting some professional help can increase the longevity of your e-bike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

See if you need a gear change, or replace the old brake pads for new ones, health check on the motors, and so on. While you have the chance, tell the mechanic to see if the chains or thru-axels need changing or not. Have them check the root of the noises being caused by the e-bike. Taking all these measures will have you saying thank you in the long run. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cleaning Time!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I mean these are general criteria. No matter how old or new your e-bike is, cleaning is a must. You won\u2019t sit on a dusty one, would you? However, the longevity of the bike and cleaning it are interconnected. It might also save you a few bucks too from the maintenance check if you keep it clean. Be gentle on the parts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t use a wet cloth on the parts that have a high chance of rusting. Don\u2019t clean with pressure and just be careful with it. Make sure to dry it off afterward. Dust of the dirt piled up, use designated cleaners for efficient cleaning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thing that is good to know is that avoid riding it on humid or wet days. Parts like chains, gears, tires, and brake pads may have possible chances to wear off due to moisture. Moisture is an evil when it comes to electric\/metallic stuff so be mindful of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking Care of Each Part<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You should thank us for the things we\u2019re about to share. A breakdown to taking care of individual bikes for longevity because we care about your e-bike as much as you do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Battery Care! <\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n

No rides without the batteries. As simple as that. So taking care of it is a must. Like any other device, you need to keep your electric vehicle<\/a> charged after every usage, however, there are some more tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Overcharging<\/strong> can kill the life of your battery, so take it off charge once it\u2019s done charging for the day. It usually takes around 4-5 hours to get done. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Please, PLEASE<\/strong>, use the charger that comes with your bike model. It\u2019s there for a reason. The charger is suited for your model and using a different charger can damage the longevity of your e-bike. Don\u2019t overlook it. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Check power outlets<\/strong> before plugging in the charger, check if the plug is capable to support it or not, you don\u2019t want short circuits to occur! <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Never charge<\/strong> your bike under direct sunlight, and leave it there for too long. Make sure it\u2019s not overheating and take care of it. The location it\u2019s charging in should be dry as well.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The Tires<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Right next to your batteries, comes your tires, the support to hold you through the journey. Before we get into pointers, make sure the tires are filled up and ready to go. Look over any leaks or scratches there might have occurred. Tires shouldn\u2019t have too much pressure otherwise they might combust. All these simple steps help to keep you and your bike safe. There are some other tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Use bike pumpers<\/strong> and pay attention to the way the tires take up the air. Watch out for any leaks or scratches. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Check if there\u2019s any wobble<\/strong> or tear in the front, rear, or sidewall of your tires. Pay attention to the PSI number. Each bike model comes with its own. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Make sure to achieve Goldilock\u2019s Principle<\/strong> while filling up the tire: Not too much, nor too little, just the right amount.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      The Brakes<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n

      Want to be sure your brakes are in top condition before you take them out? We\u2019ve got you covered. Here\u2019s a useful checklist for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Your brakes come next! Here\u2019s a quick rundown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Always test your brakes before you head out. That\u2019s a healthy practice. See if there\u2019s any discomfort in the levers or not. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Check if the brake pads are wearing off or not, and make sure they\u2019re positioned correctly that are aligned to your rotors. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. See if the levers are well-lubricated, secured tightly, and in proper condition. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Check if the brakes work at different speeds and how they react before you head out. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Aha! You made it here! Congratulations. And now we have something special for you. Whether you made some mistakes while purchasing your e-bike<\/a>, or maintaining it, here are some additional cleaning pointers as your guide. You\u2019re in for a treat! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Use a branded cleaner for your e-bike. Make sure it is non-corrosive, and eco-friendly as well. Mix 1 part of the cleaner with 2 parts water. Use a gentle cleaner that is effective enough to rub off any dirt and grime without harming the structure of the bike. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Handle the batteries and charger carefully, it\u2019s hydrophobic! <\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Now take your mixture and scrub it gently, watch out for the motors coming in the way or any electric stuff creating a hindrance. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. For stubborn stains use a heavy-duty sponge made for materials or metal scrubs (careful not to rub too hard with them!)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        5. Now rub off the mixture with a dry cloth and use a dry cloth for dust cleaning, or wiping batteries and electric parts. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
