4 maintenance points for a worry-free season

An e-4motion electric folding bike is built for years of comfortable use.
With a few simple checks, you can keep your bike in optimal condition — and prevent unnecessary wear and tear.

Below are four practical points to consider.

1. Check the tire pressure

The correct tire pressure:

  • Ensures lower energy consumption (and therefore a longer range)

  • Increase driving comfort

  • Reduces wear

Check the pressure at least once a month.
The recommended pressure is indicated on the side of the tire.

Are you unsure? Feel free to contact us for advice.

2. Keep the chain clean and lightly lubricated. 

A well-maintained chain:

  • Rides more smoothly

  • Extends the service life of gears

  • Prevents unnecessary wear and tear

  • During your first ride of the season, also check whether the bike shifts gears smoothly and properly.

Clean the chain with a dry cloth and use a suitable chain oil for light lubrication.

Note: cleaning is important for the belt, but extra lubrication is not necessary.

 

3. Charge the battery correctly

The battery is the heart of your electric bike. For a long service life:

  • Charge the battery at room temperature.

  • When the vehicle is not in use for an extended period, store the battery at around 60–80% charge.

  • Do not leave the battery completely empty for long periods of time.

  • When using the bike for the first time in the season, it is wise to test the condition of the battery. Do this by setting the maximum assistance level and then cycling for about 5 minutes. Let the battery do most of the work. If the battery is in normal to good condition, it should be able to keep up.

4. Check the brakes

  • Test the braking power – The brake must engage immediately and powerfully. Does the lever move too far toward the handlebars? If so, adjustment is necessary.

  • Check for wear – Check whether there is still sufficient brake material on the pads. Squeaking or grinding may indicate wear or contamination.

  • Keep the brake disc/braking surface clean – Clean with a cloth and some alcohol (no oil or grease) if necessary.

  • Check after unfolding – On a folding bike, cables may shift slightly after transport or folding.

Not sure if they're working properly? Have your brakes checked at your dealer or service center. A small adjustment can make a big difference in safety and comfort.
