But, just like any regular bicycle, e-bikes require regular maintenance to keep them going strong.
Not only this, but e-bikes also have electric motors and batteries due to their electrification.
Maintenance of the chain is crucial if you own an e-mountain bike and constantly tackle muddy or dusty trails.

An unclean chain will greatly impact the normal functioning of your e-bike.
If there is no apparent damage, you’re free to proceed to clean it.
Once you’re done cleaning, lubricate the chain.

This will ensure the chain runs smoothly, and all the ancillary components will also function more efficiently.
Checking the life of your tires is super important for drivability and overall safety.
If your e-bike tires aren’t functioning properly, the entire e-bike will perform in a suboptimal manner.
It’s crucial that you purchase the correct tires for the terrain that you will be riding in constantly.
Unfortunately, this is a huge problem and will cause the tires to wear out unevenly.
Tires should be chosen depending on the specific usage, ensuring they perform safely.
Much liketaking care of an EV’s battery, the lithium-ion battery in your e-bike needs proper care.
If you constantly let your battery visit the extremes of charging, accelerated battery wear may occur.
Another often overlooked factor when taking care of your e-bike’s battery is the handling aspect.

Take extra caution when removing your battery and moving it wherever it will be charged.
In fact, the lithium-ion battery pack and the accompanying electric motor are what make your e-bike an e-bike.
This is especially true if your e-bike’s battery is very expensive, like those inlong-range e-bikes.
Keep Your E-Bike Clean
Cleaning your e-bike is an underrated way to keep it going for a long time.
