Inspect Before Riding

Before each ride, take a few minutes to inspect your eBike. Check the tire pressure, brakes, lights, power-assist and inspect for any visible signs of wear or damage. Pay special attention to the battery and its connections to ensure everything is secure.

Maintain Proper Tyre Pressure

Maintaining the correct tire pressure is crucial for a smooth and efficient ride. Check the recommended pressure range specified on the tire sidewall and use a pump with a pressure gauge to inflate or deflate accordingly. Proper tire pressure not only enhances performance but also prevents premature wear.

Charge Wisely

To maximize the lifespan of your eBike's battery, it's essential to charge it properly. Avoid leaving the battery fully discharged for extended periods, as this can lead to capacity loss. Charge the battery after each use and store it in a cool, dry place when not in use.

Lubricate Moving Parts

Keeping moving parts well-lubricated is key to smooth operation and longevity. Apply lubricant to the chain, derailleur, and other moving components regularly, especially after riding in wet or muddy conditions. Wipe off any excess lubricant to prevent attracting dirt.

In conclusion, proper care and maintenance are essential for maximizing the performance and longevity of your Hottech Cargo eBike. By following these simple tips, you can enjoy countless miles of smooth, eco-friendly rides on your trusted electric steed. Happy riding!
