The introduction
Electric bikes have become an increasingly popular mode of transportation, and Lankeleisi is committed to providing safe and high-performance e-bikes to its customers. A good e-bike is like magic that can make a difference in your life, and in this article, Lankeleisi's expert technical team will share the basics of e-bike maintenance. Learning how to maintain your e-bike helps extend the life of the battery and motor, allowing the bike to run more smoothly and efficiently.
How to maintain the transmission system
The e-bike's drivetrain is the key to a smooth and enjoyable ride. Regularly cleaning, lubricating, and inspecting the drivetrain can effectively extend the bike's lifespan. Lubrication is more important.
Cleaning: The chain is prone to dust or mud after long-term riding or on wet and muddy roads. So you can use a soft brush or cloth to remove dust from the chain, derailleur and flywheel.
Lubrication: You can use clean mineral oil or lubricant.
Slowly spin the pedals and apply the 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 for e-bikes and is linked to the rider's safety. Currently, Lankeleisi e-bikes use mainly mechanical and hydraulic braking systems. The maintenance method differs depending on the braking system.
Mechanical brake maintenance
The machine relies on friction between the brake lines and the pads to achieve braking, and the main points of its maintenance are as follows:
Regularly check the brake lines for wear or looseness to ensure a secure connection. Keep the gap between the brake pads and discs at 2 to 3 mm to ensure good contact between the pads and discs. In addition, brake pad wear should be checked regularly and there should be at least two grooves between each pad. They should be replaced promptly if they are severely worn.
Clean the brake pads and discs regularly with detergent to remove dust and oil to ensure braking performance and prevent noise when using the brakes.
Hydraulic Brake Maintenance
Hydraulic brakes use brake fluid to transmit pressure, and the braking effect is more sensitive than that of mechanical brakes. Their maintenance points are as follows:
Brake and Shift Cable Maintenance
Maintain adequate air pressure in tires
Bicycle Frame Maintenance
Exposed screws on the bike can be cleaned 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 body of the electric bike can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
Conclusions
Mastering these basic e-bike maintenance tips will effectively extend your bike's lifespan. Now you can begin your adventure with lankeleisi. Don't forget to follow lankeleisi; we'll regularly provide you with the latest information about e-bikes.
