What does it take to keep an e-bike battery and the bike itself in good condition? We have put together 5 tips to ensure that you can enjoy your bike for a long time to come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You should store your e-bike in a dry, protected place. By doing that, you protect the paintwork and the bike itself – just like any normal bike – from rust and weather damage. The electronic components of an e-bike are the heart of the bike, and you should pay particular attention to the battery. You can read more about how best to protect the battery in point 4 below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another part of storing or parking your e-bike is locking it. Make sure you have a high-quality bike lock to protect your e-bike from potential thieves. There are big differences between different locks that can make the difference between an attempted theft and an actual theft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The battery is the most sensitive part of the e-bike. If you take care and pay attention to a few things, you can significantly extend its lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depending on where your e-bike is located, you should always store the battery in a dry place. The ideal temperature for the battery is 10-20\u00b0C. This means that even if you store your e-bike outside, for example, you should take the battery inside. This is a simple but essential step that can make a big difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are also a few things to consider when charging the battery: Charge it at a power outlet with the correct cable that came with it. If you have been out in the cold, it is recommended that you wait at least 30 minutes before charging. This will prevent thermal shock to the battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You have just been on a tour and your bike needs to be cleaned? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before cleaning, remove the battery and, if possible, accessories such as lights and screen. Wash your bike with a damp cloth or flannel and soapy water. Avoid using a high-pressure cleaner, as the paintwork could be damaged or water could even get into the motor housing. This could lead to damage that requires expensive repairs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have to clean your bike often, you can also buy a special bike shampoo. This prevents plastic components and seals from drying out and corroding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For removing stubborn dirt, we recommend a small or medium-sized brush. An old toothbrush also works!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By the way, we have compiled more information on how to clean your e-bike in a separate blog post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is generally recommended that you take your bike to a service and check-up at least once a year. Everything can be checked and any minor repairs can be carried out immediately. Electric bikes can also be updated with the latest software. If you do the annual service, your faithful everyday companion on two wheels is well prepared for the next bike season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you get error messages on the on-board computer, you can ask the manufacturer or your dealer for the error code and its meaning. You can contact our customer service directly online and without any complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you don’t need your e-bike at the moment, make sure it is in a safe and secure place. If the environment is not completely dry, you can also use a plasticised cover sheet to provide optimal protection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Again, the battery is the most sensitive part of the e-bike. Therefore, take the battery out of its holder and store it in a dry climate and between 10-20\u00b0C. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another point is that the battery should never be completely drained when stored. Otherwise, this can cause damage and severely reduce capacity. To prevent this, make sure the battery is charged between 30-60% when storing it. In addition, there are special protective battery covers that give it extra protection from external influences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
An e-bike only needs a little more attention than a conventional bike without an electric drive. If you keep these few points in mind, your faithful e-companion will be perfectly equipped for every season – and for many years to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
