Introduction
E-bikes have become an increasingly popular mode of travelling, and Lankeleisi is committed to providing safe, high-performance e-bikes to its customers. A great e-bike is like magic that can make a difference in your life, and Lankeleisi's expert technical team will share in this article the basics of e-bike maintenance. Learning how to maintain your e-bike can effectively extend the life of the battery and motor, allowing the bike to run more smoothly and efficiently.
How to Maintain the Transmission System
The transmission system of the e-bike is the key to ensure a smooth and enjoyable ride. By regularly cleaning, lubricating and checking the transmission system, the service life of the bike can be effectively extended. Lubrication is more important.
Cleaning: The chain is prone to dust or mud after a long period of riding or on wet and muddy roads, so you can use a soft brush or rag to remove the dust from the chain, derailleur and flywheel.
Lubrication: Clean mineral oil or lubricant can be used.
Slowly turn the pedals and apply lubricant to the inside of the chain to ensure even coverage. The flywheel can also be properly lubricated.
How to maintain the braking system
The braking system is crucial in e-bikes and is related to the safety of the rider's life. Currently Lankeleisi's e-bikes use braking systems mainly mechanical brakes and hydraulic brakes. For different braking systems, the maintenance method is different.
Maintenance of mechanical brakes
The machinery relies on friction between the brake lines and pads to achieve braking, and the main points of its maintenance include:
Regularly check brake lines for wear and looseness to ensure a strong connection. Ensure that the gap between the brake pads and discs is maintained between 2-3mm to ensure good contact between the pads and discs. In addition to this the brake pads need to be checked regularly for wear and there should be at least two grooves between each pad. They need to be replaced in a timely manner if they are badly worn.
Regularly clean the brake pads and discs with a detergent to remove dust and oil to ensure braking performance and to avoid noise when using the brakes.
Maintenance of hydraulic brakes
Hydraulic brakes use brake fluid to transmit pressure, and the braking effect is more sensitive compared to mechanical brakes. Their maintenance points include:
Regularly check that your brake fluid is adequate. If your brake handle can already be pressed to the bottom easily and there is no leakage of fluid, you can go to a repair shop to add mineral oil. In addition to this, you also need to clean your brake discs and brake clamps regularly with a rag, which will prevent noise when using the brakes.
Maintenance of Brake and Shift Cables
Brake and shift cables need to be checked regularly for wear and corrosion. You can use a damp cloth to wipe the brake and gear cables regularly to avoid dust build-up.
Maintain proper air pressure in tires
When tires are under-inflated, riding resistance will become higher, driving will be laborious and tires will be easily damaged. Tires can be inflated by referring to the pressure printed on the surface of the tires. It can avoid over-inflation, which makes the tires lose its elasticity.
Bike Frame Maintenance
Exposed screws on the bike can be properly wiped with a little mineral oil. After riding in the rain, you can use a dry cloth to dry the bike body.
After a long ride, dust or stains on the e-bike body can be cleaned with a damp rag.
Conclusions
Mastering these basic e-bike maintenance tips can effectively extend the life of your bike. Now you can start the adventure with lankeleisi. Don't forget to follow lankeleisi, we will provide you with the latest e-bike related information on a regular basis.
