Want to keep your LEKKER eBike running like new? Whether you're a first-time owner or a long-time enthusiast, proper maintenance is key. Here are five essential tips to ensure your eBike stays in perfect shape, giving you the ultimate riding experience every time.
1. Lock it like a pro
Treat your eBike like royalty—secure it with a robust lock (or two) to keep those bike thieves at bay. We recommend the ABUS plug-in chain paired with the ABUS ring lock for ultimate protection. Want even more peace of mind? Add an ABUS chain lock or take your bike’s battery with you when parked to deter theft. A little extra effort now can save you big in the long run!
2. Don’t skip maintenance checks
Regular check-ups are the secret to a long and happy life for your eBike. At LEKKER, our mechanics suggest booking a general maintenance check after 6 months or every 1,000–1,200 km of riding. This ensures everything stays in tip-top shape and performs just as smoothly as when you first hit the road. Mark your calendar—it’s worth it!
3. Keep it clean and stain free
Dirt and stains can dull the sleek look of your LEKKER eBike over time. For light stains, a simple rinse with water should do the trick. For tougher grime, add a little bike cleaning spray to your cleaning routine to restore your bike’s vibrant color. Regular cleaning not only keeps it looking good but also helps protect its components from wear and tear.
4. Care for your locks
Your locks endure all kinds of weather to keep your bike safe, and they deserve some attention, too. Regularly spray them with ordinary lock oil spray to keep them in working order, especially after heavy rain. This simple step can prevent annoying issues and keep your locks smooth and reliable for years to come.
5. Check tire pressure regularly
Maintaining proper tire pressure is essential for a smooth, efficient ride. Low pressure can make pedaling harder and increase wear on your tires, while over-inflated tires can affect grip and comfort. Use a reliable pump to check the pressure monthly, or before any long ride, and follow the recommended pressure levels indicated on your tires. This will not only enhance your eBike’s performance but also prolong the lifespan of your tires.
Your LEKKER eBike is more than just a ride—it’s your daily companion. By following these simple tips, you’ll ensure smooth, safe, and enjoyable journeys for years to come. Explore our collection of premium eBikes at LEKKER Bikes!
