Here are some tips for winter-proofing your E-Bike!
Are you a winter warrior? Water, puddles, mud, cold temps, rain, hail, sleet, snow – none of this bothers you… Or maybe you’re an occasional winter warrior who ventures out now and then in the cold just to make sure you get some exercise with your trusty E-Bike. Whoever you are, you know that winter weather conditions can be tough on your bike. We’re here to provide tips to help keep your E-Bike in great condition and make sure that, when the first blooms of spring appear, you’re still ready to go.
Fenders and chainguards are essential for keeping your e-bike in great condition during winter. They shield your clothes and bike from splashes while stopping the damp, coarse winter mud from harming your motor and other vital parts. Our charming signature genuine polished wooden fenders and chainguard will give your E-Bike the ultimate beach-cruiser feel. Made with a combination of cherry wood and walnut, both of these items have upgraded sealant with no yellowing over time. There’s also protective rubber sealant on the underside so you can have years of fun riding your e-bike.
After each ride, you should wipe down your bike with a soft cloth and a mild detergent to remove any dirt, water, or salt. To prevent rust and corrosion, you should start from the top of your E-Bike and work downwards using your cloth. With a good-quality brush, you can remove stubborn dirt from the crevices and corners of your bike. Make sure to dry your bike thoroughly before storing it in a cool and dry place.
Dirt mixed on your chain can become an abrasive paste that will wear down your components more quickly. You might need to carefully use a degreaser to remove road mess and grease from your chain and drivetrain. Once you’ve degreased, you’ll need to re-lubricate your chain and drivetrain.
As the winter winds weave through your rides, these tips are your guide to keeping your E-Bike snug and ready for the frosty trails. From fenders to post-ride pampering, these simple practices ensure that your trusty companion remains resilient. Pedal on, and may your winter journeys be filled with warmth and wonder!
