Leave a message
Compared to conventional bicycles, electric bicycles offer advantages such as reduced effort and higher speeds. However, their operation and maintenance are more complex than those of regular bicycles. Pay attention to the following aspects during use:
Proper maintenance is crucial for electric bicycles. Here are some professional maintenance recommendations:
Battery Care:
Lead-acid batteries should be charged promptly after use, avoiding complete discharge before recharging.
When stored long-term, charge at least once monthly using the original charger.
During charging: connect the battery first, then plug into the power source; after full charge, disconnect the power source before removing the battery.
Daily Use:
Minimize cold starts, reduce frequent braking and acceleration, and avoid overloading or speeding.
Maintain smooth riding to prevent harsh jolts and vibrations.
Regularly check tire pressure and inflate promptly to maintain proper levels.
Waterproofing and Moisture Protection:
During rain, prevent water from submerging the hub center.
Turn off the power immediately after parking to prevent water ingress into the motor and battery.
Cleaning and Maintenance:
Regularly wash the e-bike, especially critical components like the motor and battery.
Frequently wipe down the vehicle to keep the body clean.
Inspection and Maintenance:
Periodically inspect and clean/lubricate components such as the front axle, rear axle, and freewheel.
Check brake performance to ensure responsiveness and reliability; replace brake pads promptly when severely worn.
Regularly verify that all body component screws are tightened to prevent loosening.
Charging Safety:
Never charge the battery upside down. Whenever possible, fully charge the battery in a single session.
If you detect an unusual odor or notice excessive heat during charging, stop charging immediately and have the battery serviced.
