TYRES:

Basic information and maintenance guide
Start by doing a visual check, looking for abnormal wear or cracks. If you think your tyre needs replacement based on this check up, you should
follow your instincts. You may bring your tyres to your local bike shop for a competent opinion. While doing your visual inspection, check for proper
tyre pressure by using a tyre gauge suited for testing bicycle tyres. The recommended tyre pressure is 30-80(max) PSI and is marked on the
tyre's sidewall. The maximum pressure will carry the maximum load capacity of your bicycle.
Should you need to replace a bike tyre, you will need to provide the e bike model / size to the supplier. You may discuss your style of riding, the type
of bicycle you have etc. so your bicycle tyre supplier can offer you the correct tyre. 

CLEANING YOUR EBIKE:

Basic cleaning information and maintenance guide.
Do not use a pressure washer to clean your eBike. eBikes are not built to withstand high pressure water jets. Using a pressure washer at full
power has the potential to damage parts and can force excess water, dirt, and debris into places it shouldn't be in and wreak havoc on the workings
of the e bike.
Do not use special car cleaner and soaps on an eBike as most car soaps have wax in them which are not suitable for eBikes.
Typically, the best way to wash e bike accessories is to wipe them down with a dry rag. Avoid getting any water or soap on the following parts:
The hub bearing (the center of the wheel)
The bottom bracket (where the pedals connect together through the frame)
The headset bearing (where the handlebars connect to the frame)
The brake pads and rotor, or discs
Chains, gears and motor
The first step when it comes down to how to wash an eBike is to use a brush to clean the dry dirt from the rims and tyres of your e bike. After that,
take a wet rag or sponge and wipe down the frame of your eBike. Make sure to get to the underside of the frame where dirt is most likely to gather.
Once your eBike has been thoroughly cleaned, rinse off all the dirty water. After the dirt residue has been cleaned from the eBike use a clean, dry rag
to wipe the bike dry.
Once you've wiped the bike dry, lube the chain to prevent it from rusting. To do this, take your chain and run it through a clean dry rag to wipe off any
water that managed to get on it. Next, take chain lube and apply a slow but steady stream to the inside of the chain as you rotate the cranks until the
whole chain got lubed.
