Spring eBike Prep: Get Ready to Ride!
Spring is just around the corner, which means it’s time to dust off your ebike and get it road- or trail-ready! If your ebike has been sitting idle for the past few months, a quick tune-up will ensure a smooth, safe ride all season long. Here’s how to get started:
DIY Checks: The ABCs of eBike Maintenance
Before heading out for your first ride of the season, give your ebike a once-over with these essential checks:
-
A - Air: Check your tire pressure and pump them up to the recommended PSI and check it again after a day or two to ensure they're holding air. If you ride a cargo bike, commuter, or cruiser, now is the perfect time to upgrade with Tannus Armour Tire Liners for extra flat protection. For eMTB riders, consider going tubeless for fewer flats and better traction. If you’re already running tubeless, make sure your sealant is topped off and still effective.
-
B - Brakes: Give your brakes a squeeze to check responsiveness. If they feel squishy, air bubbles might be trapped in the lines. A quick adjustment may help, but if they still feel off, it’s time for a professional brake bleed.
-
C - Chain & Drivetrain: Look for grime, rust, or shifting issues. A deep clean and fresh lube will improve performance and extend the life of your drivetrain.
