INSTRUCTIONS D'ENTRETIEN À L'INTENTION DE L'UTILISATEUR
Having an electric bike that breaks down or isn’t running smoothly is a real pain. Here are few simple
things you can do to avoid this and keep it running smoother for longer.
Electric bikes are bicycles that have additional technology to provide pedal assistance. Because they tend
to get used so much more, and at greater average speeds, maintenance is a critical factor in keeping them
running smoothly.
You don’t need to have a fancy workshop, do these few simple things:
Bicycle maintenance
Regularly check the significant touch point bolts for tightness – handlebars, seat rails, wheels etc. If any
of these come off while riding,it can be dangerous! Riding with loose bolts can be an expensive and
inconvenient repair.
Lube your chain regularly
Check tire pressures at least once a week. Pump up to the recommended pressures if needed.
Clean your ebike with a regular hose and / or bucket & brush. Avoid high pressure water systems as you
don’t want to get water in the electrics!
Wiring.
Be careful not to knock your wiring, particularly on things such as lights, motor cables near
wheels, sensor cables etc
Batteries.
See our article on battery care and safety. Also, take care of sliding your battery in and out,
so you don’t bend any battery plate nodes.
The next best thing you can do for your ebike is to get it serviced regularly by a skilled mechanic -
preferably one with experience working on electric bikes! Find or avoid problems before they happen.
