Maintenance Tips & Processes 

Just like every other bike out there, an eBike needs some TLC to make sure that it runs smoothly with every ride. Here are your key steps to maintaining your model like a pro:

Perfect the Check 

When it comes to checking your eBike, you need to follow the system of the Big 3. The Big 3 includes tyres, brakes and the chain. These are the three cornerstone parts of your eBike that you should routinely check to have a safe ride, every single time. 

Tyres 

The tyres are the first thing to look at when preparing to ride your eBike. Check that they are properly inflated, the recommended PSI levels will live on the side of the tyre. If your tire is not up to the right level or if it is flat then it is important to avoid riding it. Patching, re-inflating or taking your bike into a bike store will give you the solution you need to get back out on the road. The Muc-Off No Puncture Sealant from NG Mobility is the perfect way to fix knicks or holes. 

Brakes

Your eBike needs fully functional, working brakes – check the pads for any potential wear or tear and replace them if needed. Check your brakes before you ride every time to ensure full riding capacity and safety. 

Chain

When it comes to electric bikes, the chains tend to need a little more frequent upkeep than traditional, non-assisted bike chains. Make sure you are prepped to apply a high-quality lubricant to make sure your chain is operating at full capacity all year round. This will keep you safe and guarantee that you are good to get out on the roads or the trails whenever you like. NG Mobility provides a wide range of bike lubes to make sure your rides are smooth sailing.

Cleaning Your eBike 

When you are checking your chain and the rest of your model, you might notice that it may be time for cleaning. Cleaning the chain is a key component of making sure that your eBike’s performance is always up to scratch as dirt can increase levels of friction and make it more difficult to pedal. The best way to clean your chain is to remove it, then use one of the high-quality, fit for purpose eBike cleaning products from NG Mobility to scrub and shine your chain back to full, functional health. Make sure you rinse with water and air dry before reattaching your chain. If you cannot remove your chain, grab yourself the Muc-Off Premium Brush Kit from NG Mobility to clean without having to take your bike apart. 

Lastly, use a microfiber cloth to polish your eBike and keep it looking pristine after every ride for long term love.
