Is there any daily maintenance required?
While our bikes are rather low-maintenance and do not require special attention, it's definitely helpful to use our suggestions below to help keep your e-bike at its best.
Inspection
Regular inspection can help with spotting possible mechanical malfunction. We recommend you do the following checks on a regular basis:
Functionality of your brakes
Functionality of your lights
Tyre pressure
Cleaning
Regular cleaning can make your bike shine and prolong its lifespan, especially after your bike has gone through an extreme ride (muddy road, heavy rain, long-distance, etc.).
Do not use a high-pressure water jet as it may damage the bearing and electronic components of the bike.
No Lube
Do not use lubricant on your electric bicycle; the motor system does not require any lubrication. Lubing with oil could damage the drivetrain system.
