How do I maintain my EbikeXL bike on a daily basis?Updated 10 days ago

Maintaining your eBikeXL electric bike is very similar to looking after a regular bicycle, but because of the motor, battery, and display, and the fact that e-bikes are often used more intensively, it’s extra important to take good care of it. Here are some key tips:

1. Routine Maintenance in the Shop

  • Schedule at least one annual check-up with a specialist.

  • This includes checking the electrical system, brakes, drivetrain, software updates, and overall safety.

2. Battery Maintenance

  • Charge when the battery is at 20–30% capacity.

  • Store in a dry place at room temperature.

  • If the battery suffers a fall or shock, have it checked.

3. Cleaning Your Bike and Components

  • Clean regularly to prevent wear from dirt and mud.

  • Use a damp cloth and bike-specific products.

  • Avoid high-pressure washing, as this can damage electrical parts and bearings.

4. Transmission (Drivetrain) Care

  • Dirt is the main enemy of your drivetrain.

  • Use degreaser, brushes, and lubricant to keep it running smoothly.

5. Tires

  • Check tire pressure regularly for comfort, safety, and efficiency.

  • Inspect for wear and damage to avoid surprises.

6. Software Updates

  • Keep your bike’s software up to date for efficiency and safety.

  • Updates can often be done at your local dealer, and some modern systems even allow updates via mobile app.

👉 By following these steps, your eBikeXL bike will last longer, stay safer, and perform at its very best.
