Frequently Asked Questions About E-Bike Maintenance
How often is e-bike maintenance required?
We recommend a basic tune-up for your e-bike at least every six months or after 750–1,250 miles (1,207-2,011 kilometers) of riding. However, monitoring your riding style, conditions, and frequency will help you establish a more tailored and effective maintenance routine. Regular servicing by a qualified electric bike repair shop helps to address wear and tear on components like brake pads, chain lubricant, and tires, ensuring your e-bike remains in top condition for years.
Best practices for avoiding flat tires on an e-bike?
Using a quality tire sealant is highly recommended to prevent flats. Before each ride, it’s essential to check your tire pressure and ensure proper inflation. Consistent tire pressure checks and maintenance will help you identify potential tire damage before you head out for a ride.
Do you stock brand-specific e-bike parts like Rad Power or Yamaha components?
While we don’t maintain an inventory of parts on hand, Velofix has established direct relationships with e-bike brands. This allows us to efficiently source any specific parts your e-bike may require for repairs or maintenance.
Do you service or replace electrical components and batteries on e-bikes?
Currently, Velofix does not offer services for replacing or repairing electric components or batteries. For these types of issues, we advise contacting the manufacturer or brand from where you purchased your e-bike, as these components may be covered under warranty.
Is e-bike warranty coverage handled by Velofix?
Velofix can assist with warranty repairs once the warranty claim has been approved by the e-bike brand. To initiate a warranty service, first contact the brand’s customer service team to confirm your warranty coverage. Once approved, schedule an appointment with Velofix, and we will take care of your e-bike service needs.
