The tires of your bike have to carry you, the bike itself and often luggage and purchases – so the air pressure shouldn't be too low. Wear will increase if you ride for a longer period of time with under-inflated tyres. Plus, it's harder for you to get going. Of course, you must not overinflate your tyres either. Our tip: Check the tyre pressure monthly and inflate the bicycle tyres if necessary.

With an eBike, you move quickly, accelerating faster with the support of the electric motor than with a conventional bicycle. This makes it all the more important to have properly functioning brakes. The maintenance and repair of disc and hub brakes should be carried out by experts, but you can take care of small jobs on the rim brake yourself. Find out here which simple tricks you can use to check and adjust your bicycle brake.
