Charging
Always use the charger as well as the adapter supplied with your battery. It will avoid overcharging and protects the battery against damage due to short circuits.
Let your battery cool before charging it. Also, do not use it directly after recharging.
Never completely drain the battery, but always try charging it to 100%.
If you won’t use your bike for prolonged periods of time, make sure to partially charge the battery every few months.
Always disconnect the charger from the battery and the network after charging.
Storage
Keep your battery in a cool and dry place (preferably between 0 and 20°).
Avoid elevated temperatures and do not leave the battery near a heat source.

Maintenance Checklist
Ah, the joy of cruising on your e-bike, feeling the wind in your hair and the freedom of the open road. But wait! Before you embark on your next electrifying adventure, it’s crucial to ensure your trusty steed is in tip-top shape. That’s where the E-Bike Maintenance Checklist comes in handy! In this guide, we’ll dive into the nitty-gritty of e-bike care, covering everything from routine checks to troubleshooting common issues. So, grab your wrench and let’s get started!
Essential E-Bike Maintenance Tips
1. Tire Pressure: Pump Up the Volume!
First things first – let’s talk tires. Maintaining optimal tire pressure is crucial for a smooth ride and preventing flats. Here’s what you need to know:
– Check tire pressure regularly using a reliable gauge.
– Inflate tires to the manufacturer’s recommended PSI (pounds per square inch) – typically indicated on the sidewall.
-Low on air? Pump it up! Invest in a quality floor pump for quick and easy inflation.
2. Battery Care: Power Up Wisely!
Your e-bike’s battery is its lifeblood, so keeping it healthy is key to maximizing performance and longevity. Follow these steps to ensure your battery stays charged and happy:
– Charge your battery regularly, preferably after each ride or when it reaches around 30-50% capacity.
– Store your e-bike in a cool, dry place to prevent battery degradation.
– Avoid extreme temperatures – both hot and cold – as they can negatively impact battery life.
If storing your e-bike for an extended period, aim for a partial charge (around 50%) to keep the battery cells in good condition.
3. Brakes: Stop on a Dime!
Properly functioning brakes are essential for your safety and the safety of those around you. Here’s how to keep your brakes in top shape:
– Regularly inspect brake pads for wear and tear.
– Replace them if they’re worn down to the indicator line.
– Check brake cables and housing for signs of damage or fraying.
– Adjust brake tension as needed to ensure responsive stopping power.
– Test your brakes before each ride – better safe than sorry!
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How often should I perform maintenance on my e-bike?
A: It depends on how frequently you ride and the conditions you ride in. As a general rule of thumb, aim to perform basic maintenance checks – such as tire pressure, battery charge, and brake inspection – before each ride. More in-depth maintenance tasks, like cleaning and lubricating drivetrain components, can be done less frequently, typically every few weeks or as needed.
Q: Can I perform maintenance on my e-bike myself, or should I take it to a professional?
A: Many basic maintenance tasks can be performed at home with the right tools and know-how. However, if you’re not comfortable working on your e-bike or if it requires more complex repairs, it’s best to take it to a certified bike mechanic. They’ll have the expertise and specialized equipment needed to ensure your e-bike stays in optimal condition.
Q: How can I prolong the life of my e-bike’s drivetrain?
A: Regular cleaning and lubrication are key to keeping your drivetrain – including the chain, cassette, and derailleur – running smoothly and prolonging their lifespan. After each ride, wipe down your drivetrain with a clean rag and apply lubricant sparingly to keep things moving smoothly. Additionally, avoid cross-chaining (using extreme gear combinations) and replace worn components promptly to prevent premature wear.
Conclusion
And there you have it – the ultimate E-Bike Maintenance Checklist to keep your ride rolling smoothly for miles to come! By following these essential maintenance tips and staying on top of routine checks, you’ll ensure your e-bike stays in top-notch condition, ready to tackle any adventure that comes your way. So, don’t wait until something goes wrong – give your e-bike the TLC it deserves and enjoy the ride!
Battery Maintenance Guide-How to Protect Your Battery?
An important thing about batteries is to know that our VTUVIA batteries are lithium-ion batteries. Here are some useful tips to help you how to properly maintain the battery of an electric bicycle. Especially in winter.
Remove the battery if you are not riding it.
For whatever reason, it is best to remove the battery from the bicycle and store it at room temperature. In order to get the best battery maintenance effect, after removing the battery, please charge it to about 60% power. This is the best percentage to maintain battery life when the battery is not in use.
Keeping it dry
—Getting wet here refers to it submerging into water, not getting wet by the rain.
Keeping a good electric bike battery life depends on keeping it dry. This means that you should be careful and careful to avoid getting wet. The drenching here refers to being immersed in water, not being drenched in rain. Melting snow in winter will form ponds, so be careful to avoid them when riding. When the electric bicycle is stored inside, the battery itself should be stored in a dry place.
Regular practice to run the battery completely flat
Another important thing that has nothing to do with temperature is battery maintenance. A well-maintained battery comes down to regular practice to completely drain the battery. This should happen at least once every three months. This approach will help, maintain and protect the highest possible charging capacity.
Not suggested riding in too much cold
Too cold or too hot is very detrimental to the electric bicycle battery. This is why it is not recommended to ride an electric bike below 4 degrees Fahrenheit. The lower temperature will reduce the endurance, therefore, compared with summer, the distance can be traveled with the same electricity is shorter.
Therefore, when you store the battery, don’t forget to clean and inspect the bicycle. Your electric bike should undergo a winter inspection. Make sure that the lights work properly, because the daylight becomes shorter and night falls faster than in summer. In addition, keep the bike as clean as possible to avoid accumulation of dirt. This can happen in dry areas that allow free movement. After cleaning, use oil to keep the chain in its best condition.
