Keep Your eBike Rolling Smoothly: 5 Tips from Our New Service Pro, John!

We are stoked to introduce you to John, our new Service Manager and ebike extraordinaire! Here are his top 5 service tips to keep your ebike happy and rolling like a dream. From gentle cleaning to battery care, we've got you covered for a smooth ride!

1. Don’t power wash your bike

Give it a gentle clean and wipe down when it needs it, especially focusing on the brakes, suspension, and drivetrain to keep them running smooth.

2. Maintain your chain (except you chain-free, belt drive folks! You can skip to #3).

After your gentle clean, add a light application of chain lube, and wipe off the excess to keep your drivetrain in tip top shape for the long haul. C lick here to watch our One Minute Post-Ride Cleanup Routine for the skinny on wipe down and chain lube application.

3. Brakes need love, too!

Especially on heavier e-bikes, brake pads and rotors do a LOT of work. Keeping rotors clean and straight will make their job easier AND quieter.

4. Be nice to your battery

It’s the most expensive and (arguably) important component on your bike! Extend its life by storing it between 40 and 90 degrees. If temps dip below or above that range, it’s best to remove the battery and store it inside.

5. Use your odometer to keep you on track for regular service intervals

For a new ebike, bring it in after the first 200-300 mile “break-in period” and every 600 miles after that. Our technicians can hook it up to the Bosch diagnostic tool, update your software, and ensure you're getting the best performance.

Exceptional touring bike.

This is a very well engineered and elegant touring e bike. The crew at Oregon E-Bikes offered to deliver to my home and Manzanita, but I wanted to come out and ride hood river and mount hood. I am loving this bike! I’ve had a 10 days and 280 miles. It is a dream.

Great service

Placed order online, great product and service, would use again and highly recommend.

We love the captains chair!

The chair fits adults and kids alike - we had one that we were borrowing from a friend that we had to return and it only made sense to buy our own. My kiddo prefers this to the seat without a back.

Solidly built, but painful installation

These decks are built very well, but the installation is pretty time consuming / painful. For the screw on the front side, you'll need a 13mm socket with a long extension bar to reach the inside of the nut - not the 13mm open wrench listed in the manual. Another downside is that the slots on the deck have sharp edges - I wish they could round them off a little.

Beautiful bike

We had the bike shipped to us, and it arrived in perfect condition. The assembly was minimal and easy. It’s a beautiful bike. Smooth, easy, fun. Ride happy! 😎
