Keep Your Bike Rolling Smoothly
A well-maintained bike doesn’t just ride better — it lasts longer. Whether you’re a weekend rider or a daily commuter, a few simple habits can keep your bike in top shape and your rides safe.
1. Clean Regularly
Dust, mud, and grime can wear down components fast. Use mild soap, water, and a soft brush to clean your bike after every few rides — especially if you’ve been off-road.
2. Check and Lube the Chain
A dry or dirty chain causes friction and noise. Wipe it clean and apply bike-specific lubricant to ensure smooth shifting and efficient pedaling.
3. Monitor Tire Pressure
Underinflated tires make riding harder and risk flats. Check tire pressure weekly and inflate according to the recommended PSI printed on the tire sidewall.
4. Inspect Brakes and Gears
Ensure your brakes respond quickly and your gears shift smoothly. If you hear squeaks or grinding, it’s time for a tune-up.
5. Battery Care for E-Bikes
For electric bikes, charge your battery regularly and avoid extreme temperatures. Always use the original charger to maintain long-term performance.
Final Tip
Regular care takes just minutes — but it ensures every ride feels like new. A little maintenance today prevents big repairs tomorrow.
