Electric bicycle maintenance guide
Tips for extending range and life
1.Why is maintenance important?
Although the electric bicycle is known as “green travel artifact”, the lack of scientific maintenance of its core components (battery, motor, controller) may lead to a 30% drop in battery life.
2.Daily maintenance steps
Weekly must do: cleaning and basic inspection
Body cleaning: Wipe the frame with a soft cloth, and use neutral detergent for stubborn stains (to avoid corrosive coating).
Tire pressure: Check the tire pressure when the tire is cold, and the insufficient pressure will increase the power consumption.
Brake system: Observe the thickness of brake disc when pinching the brake, and replace it if it is less than 1/3 of the original factory; Test the brake response for sensitivity.
Chain lubrication: Drop 1-2 drops of special chain oil (to avoid dust) to reduce wear noise.Monthly must do: battery and circuit maintenance
Battery maintenance: Avoid excessive discharge (charge immediately when the charge is less than 20%);
Charging environment temperature should be between 0- 40℃, high temperature exposure or low temperature environment will accelerate battery decay;
Line check: After removing the key, observe whether the instrument panel is completely powered off, and check whether the plug is loose or the line is aging.
3.Three "fatal injury" protection guidelines
Avoid violent driving
Rapid acceleration/sudden braking will instantly increase the motor temperature by more than 200 ° C, which will shorten the motor life for a long time.
It is recommended to adopt the strategy of “progressive acceleration + predictive braking” to reduce the impact on the transmission system.
Proper parking and charging
Parking environment: Keep away from flammable materials and avoid outdoor parking in rainy days (rainwater is easy to penetratethe battery compartment and cause short circuit).
Charging specification:
Use the original charger, no series charging;
Charge time is controlled within 8-10 hours;
Unplug after charging to avoid continuous floating charge.
Vehicle equipment management
Remove unnecessary additional devices (such as trunk, shelves) and reduce the load on the car body (for every 5kg load increase, the endurance is reduced by about 10%).
Smart Habits to extend your life
Avoid unilateral loading: The goods should be evenly distributed on both sides of the frame to prevent the frame from deformation.
Special care in winter: After the battery is fully discharged, it is stored in a warm environment (above 10℃) to avoid self-discharge at low temperature.
Every careful care for the car is a commitment to green travel!
