Routine E-Bike Maintenance Tips

Your CYCROWN e-bike is designed for durability, but routine care goes a long way in preserving performance. Here’s how to maintain it:

• Check tire pressure weekly: Proper PSI improves efficiency and prevents flats.
• Lubricate the chain: All CYCROWN bikes use chain drives — apply lube every 100–150 miles or after rain.
• Tighten bolts and screws: Vibration from rides can loosen hardware, especially on rough terrain.
• Inspect brakes regularly: Whether mechanical or hydraulic, ensure responsive stopping power.
• Clean your e-bike: Wipe down your bike after dusty, muddy, or salty rides to avoid corrosion.

Pro tip: Keep a basic maintenance kit handy — including chain lube, multitool, tire pump, and a soft cleaning cloth.

Proper Charging Habits for E-Bike Batteries

Knowing how to charge an e-bike battery correctly helps prevent early battery degradation. Here’s what to do:

• Use the original charger: Third-party chargers may damage battery cells.
• Charge in a cool, dry area: Ideal range is 50–77°F (10–25°C); avoid humid or hot areas.
• Don’t wait for 0%: Start charging when battery drops to 20–30%.
• Avoid overcharging: While most batteries auto-stop, unplug after it’s full when possible.
• Charge after most rides: Frequent top-ups are healthier than deep discharge cycles.

Extend Your E-Bike Battery Lifespan

CYCROWN e-bikes feature high-quality lithium-ion batteries designed for 600–800 full charge cycles. Here’s how to maximize them:

• For proper electric bike battery storage, keep your battery at 50–80% if unused: Don’t leave it fully charged or completely drained.
• Top off monthly in off-season: Recharge to around 60% every 4–6 weeks.
• Avoid extreme temperatures: Heat accelerates wear; cold reduces performance. Store indoors.
• Ride in lower assist modes: Using Eco or PAS mode extends both range and battery health.
• Keep battery clean and dry: Dirt and moisture degrade terminals over time.

Seasonal Care Tips for North America

In Winter:

• Expect reduced range (up to 30%)
• Pre-warm the battery indoors before charging
• Dry the bike thoroughly after wet or snowy rides

In Summer:

• Avoid leaving your e-bike in direct sunlight or hot vehicles
• Recharge in shaded, well-ventilated areas
• Check tire pressure more often (heat expands air)
