As the days get longer and the weather gets warmer, it’s time to dust off your eBike and get it ready for some beautiful Spring rides. Properly preparing your eBike for the upcoming season will not only ensure an enjoyable riding experience but also extend the life of your bike and it’s components.

1. Check the Battery
Spring is the perfect time to give your eBike’s battery some attention. Start by checking the battery’s charge level. If it’s been stored for an extended period, recharge it to full capacity. Inspect the battery for any signs of damage, such as leaks or corrosion. Clean the contacts with an electrical contact cleaner if necessary. If your eBike has a removable battery, ensure it’s securely reattached to the bike.

2. Test the Electronics
Test the electronics of your eBike, including the motor, display, and lights. Make sure all components are functioning as they should and address any issues before your first Spring ride. If your eBike has any smart features or connectivity options, such as a companion app, ensure they are up to date and ready to improve your riding experience.

3. Inspect the Tires
Inspecting your tires is crucial for safety and performance. Confirm that the tire pressure (PSI) is within the range for your specific tire model, which is usually indicated on the sidewall. Look for any signs of wear or damage, such as cuts, punctures, or worn tread and replace the tires if needed. Properly inflated and well-maintained tires will provide better comfort, traction, and efficiency during your rides.
4. Assess the Brakes
Your eBike’s brakes are crucial for safety, so it’s important to inspect and test them before hitting the road. Check the brake pads for wear and replace them if necessary. Additionally, ensure the brake levers are functioning properly and adjust the tension (mechanical disc brakes) or the brake hose pressure (hydraulic disc brakes). Safe and responsive brakes are essential for a worry-free ride.
