Keeping your e-bike smooth and safe is easy, just follow our instructions below:
Start every ride with 1-minute self-check:
(1) Tyres, press test. Make sure tyres feel firm (not rock-hard) and top up if they feel soft.
Tyre PRESSURE matters
Here is a quick guide for a smooth ride:
- VESTA 20″ Urban Tyres: 50-55 PSI
- TRITON 20″ Fat Tyres: 20–30 PSI
- PEGASUS 26” Urban Tyres: 45–60 PSI
- DIANA 27.5″ MTB Tyres: 40–55 PSI
(2) Brakes. Make sure both levers give a firm bite and the wheels spin without rubbing.
(3) Chain: looks dry/rusty? Make sure the chain is clean and lubricated, apply lube if it looks dry or rusty.
(4) Battery. Make sure the connector is seated firmly and the battery is above 30% before riding.
Every 500 km, your e-bike needs a quick settle-in service:
(1) Bolts. Make sure stem, bars, seatpost, rack and crank bolts are torqued correctly.
(2) Gears. Make sure shifting is crisp, re-index and set limit screws if needed.
(3) Brakes. Make sure lever feel is firm, check pad wear and true the rotors.
(4) Wheels. Make sure spokes are even and wheels run true.
(5) Chain. Make sure it’s clean and lubricated, re-lube after wet rides.
At 1,000 km or every 8 weeks, book a full tune service.
Your service includes:
(1) Drivetrain. We clean the chain, cassette and chainring, and replace the chain if wear is excessive.
(2) Gears/Cables. We tune shifting precisely, adjust limits, and replace any frayed or sticky cables/housing.
(3) Brakes: We inspect pads and true rotors; for hydraulics, we bleed the system if lever feel is spongy.
(4) Wheels/Tyres. We true both wheels, check spoke tension, inspect tyres for cuts, and set PSI to your riding load.
(4) Battery/Connectors. We clean contacts, ensure connectors are seated firmly, and check charger health.
Hit 6,500 km? That’s a big achievement and it’s time for a thorough service. Here are some extras we do:
(1) Bearings: Service/replace headset, BB and hubs if rough.
(2) Wear parts: Replace worn chain (and cassette/chainring if needed).
(3) Brakes/Cables. Full hydraulic bleed or new cables; pads/rotors if due.
(4) Wheels/Tyres. Full tension balance and true (not just a touch-up). Assess tread/sidewalls; replace if needed, set PSI.
(5) Electrics. Clean/protect connectors, torque mounts, update firmware, GPS alert test.
