Bike Maintenance

Recommended Maintenance Plan

After we sell an ebike, we’re often asked how to maintain the bike between services. Here is some general advice.

Before Each Ride

5 Min

Quick visual inspection: Check for flat tires, loose spokes, damage to the frame, and proper brake and gear function.

Tire pressure: Inflate tires to the recommended PSI listed on the sidewall.

After Each Ride

10 Min

Wipe down: Remove dirt and grime with a damp cloth. Pay attention to the drivetrain and brakes. We recommend occasionally using an ebike cleaner by Finish Line.

Chain lubrication: Apply lube to the chain after cleaning any visible grit. We recommend using Finish Line ebike chain lube.

Battery care: Avoid extreme temperatures and charge the battery before it’s low.

Monthly

30 Min

Detailed cleaning: Deep clean the entire bike, including the wheels, frame, and drivetrain. We recommend using Pedro’s Green Fizz Bike Wash.

Brake inspection: Check brake pads for wear and adjust if necessary.

Gear inspection: Ensure smooth shifting and tighten cables if loose.

Spoke tension check: Look for loose spokes and tighten them gently if needed.

Quarterly

1-2 Hours

Thorough lubrication: Lube all moving parts, including bearings, pedals, and derailleurs. We recommend Triflow Superior Bike Lube.

Brake and gear tune-up: Adjust brakes and gears for optimal performance.

Tighten all bolts and nuts: Prevent loosening from vibrations.

Check wear and tear: Inspect tires, brake pads, chain, and cassette for wear and replace if necessary.

Yearly
