Electric bikes are more complex than regular bikes as they have electric
components and wiring. We strongly recommend checking in advance whether
the bike shop you’re planning to bring your e-bike to for a tune up has
experience with servicing your e-bike brand or type. Sometimes inexperienced
mechanics can unintentionally damage internal electric parts that will be hard to
repair later.
Once you found a bike shop to service your e-bike, we recommend setting up
annual check-ups and tune-ups. If you ride almost every day, a tune-up at least
once a year is recommended.
Can I bring it to a regular bike shop for a tune up?
E-bikes are equipped with motors and batteries, which make them heavier than
regular bicycles. On average, an e-bike weighs about 55-60 pounds, whereas
a traditional bike’s weight is around 30-35 pounds. Major e-bike drive system
companies are trying to solve the challenge of reducing the components’ weight.
But unfortunately, the lighter weight versions of the battery and motors will
come at a compromise with their power and range.
