Five steps to your new eBike.

There are lots of aspects that every rider should take into consideration before saddling up on their eBike. Faster speed, more weight and a different riding style – we have compiled a list of the small but significant differences compared to conventional bikes.

The tyres 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.

An eBike battery lasts an average of 80 kilometres until it runs out of juice. Over time, the capacity decreases. In addition, heavy use, frequent charging and incorrect storage have a negative effect on the service life. We will show you how to get the most out of your eBike battery and increase the eBike range.

Electric bikes usually weigh more than conventional bikes, mainly because of the motor and battery. But what does 'more' mean? How heavy is an eBike as a rule, and what do the drive and battery contribute to the weight? Find out more about the weight of an eBike here.
