To ensure your ebike's longevity and smooth operation, and your safety when riding, Baicycle recommends regular pre-ride and post-ride checks. The following is a general overview of the ebike checks you should incorporate into your biking routine, both on a regular basis and less regularly long-term. For those riding their ebike daily, you'll want to follow these schedules very closely. For more intermittent and casual riders, you will need less frequent routine tuneups.

Pre-Ride Checklist

Before heading out on a bike ride, you'll want to make sure your ebike is both secure and prepped. This means your tires are properly inflated, the brakes are actively working, the headset is tight, the chain is clean and lubed, and the battery is sufficiently charged. With a little practice, you'll be able to knock this out in about 5 minutes!

Post-Ride Checklist

Now, after each ride, it's time to inspect your ebike and get ready to wind it down. Some of which include inspecting the tires, rims, and derailleur for dirt or damage, wiping down the frame with a rag, and charging the battery if you're running low. In time, this should also be a quick and straightforward check!

Weekly Ebike Checklist

A little more in-depth than pre-ride and post-ride checks, you'll want to inspect, clean, and maintain the following weekly.

Wipe down chainrings, cassette, and derailleur pulleys

Check and tighten the crankset

Inspect brake pads

Monthly Ebike Checklist

Monthly bike checks will require a more in-depth inspection of your bike, and tuneups as necessary. You'll need to:

Check for chain water

Wipe down and lubricate suspension sliders (if applicable)

Lube all braking and gear shifting cables

Degrease and lubricate the chain & all chainrings, both front and back

Lubricate all other drivetrain elements i.e. the derailleur and chain
