Some common mistakes that new eBike riders make and how to avoid them
1. It’s not a dirt bike. A bike chain can break if you put too much tension on it. If you throttle from a stand still, and it’s in too high of gear, it will put tension on the chain. The mechanics of a bicycle apply to ALL eBikes.
That brings us to our next point.
2. Don’t start peddling in a high gear. When you come to a stop, shift down to a lower gear so when you are starting to ride again, you will already be in a lower gear.
3. Air pressure could change just like in your car tires. Actively check your air pressure in your tires, but also your suspension. Make sure it’s at a desired level and if not, use a shock pump to fix the suspension and a tire pump for the tires. Do not use a tire pump on your suspension.
4. Keep it clean and oiled. You do regular maintenance on your truck right? It’s the same for an eBike. Clean and lube your chain and cassette. Replace the brake pads as needed. Get new tires when your tread wears out. All these things and more will improve the life of your eBike.
Lastly,
5. Charge your battery! Don’t forget to charge your battery before your rides or hunts. Plan ahead and conserve battery when possible and throttle when you want. A high pedal assist or always using the throttle will run your battery faster than no throttle and low pedal assist.
Hope these help! Let us know if you would add anything else.
