E-Bike Maintenance Guide

Keep your Fafrees e-bike performing at its best

Proper maintenance is the key to extending your e-bike’s life, keeping it safe, and ensuring smooth rides every day. This guide walks you through practical tips—from battery care to riding habits—to help you make the most out of your Fafrees e-bike.

1. Battery Care — Power That Lasts

Your e-bike battery is its heart. Taking care of it means longer range, better performance, and a safer ride.

Charging Tips:

• Always use the original Fafrees charger to ensure safe and stable charging.
• Avoid overcharging or deep discharging. Charge when the battery drops to around 20%.
• Charge in a dry, ventilated environment. Avoid direct sunlight, high heat, or freezing temperatures.
• If you’re not riding for a while, recharge once a month to prevent deep discharge.

Storage Tips:

• Keep the battery away from humid or hot environments.
• Ideally, store the battery at 30%–80% charge for best long-term health.
• Before each ride, check the battery port and ensure there’s no dust or water residue.

2. Motor & Electrical System — The Core of Performance

Your motor and controller work hard every ride. Regular checks keep them smooth and reliable.

Maintenance Tips:

• Listen for unusual sounds or vibration from the motor—these are early signs of issues.
• Keep all electrical connectors clean and dry, especially after riding in rain.
• Inspect the wiring and plug points regularly; if oxidation is visible, apply a small amount of protective electrical oil.
• Never submerge your bike in water, even though it’s water-resistant.

3. Braking System — Safety First

Your brakes are your best friend on every road.

Brake Care:

• Check the brake pads for wear and replace if thin or uneven.
• Keep disc rotors clean—avoid any contact with oil or lubricants.
• If the brake lever feels soft or unresponsive, adjust or refill hydraulic brake fluid promptly.

4. Tires & Wheels — Grip with Confidence

Good tires mean better control and safety on all terrains.

Tire Care:

• Maintain tire pressure between 2.5–4.0 bar (depending on model).
• Regularly inspect for tread wear or embedded debris.
• Avoid sharp gravel or glass surfaces to prevent punctures.

Wheel Check:

• Ensure all spokes are tight and evenly tensioned.
• If you notice wobbling, visit a local repair shop for truing and alignment.

5. Frame & Drivetrain — Keep It Smooth

A clean and lubricated drivetrain means efficiency and joy in every pedal.

Routine Care:

• Wipe the frame clean after every few rides to prevent corrosion from mud or salt.
• Lubricate the chain, cassette, and derailleur regularly to avoid rust.
• Tighten all bolts, pedals, and handlebars periodically.

6. Smart Riding Habits — Ride Better, Ride Longer

Tips for Daily Riding:

• Use pedal assist when starting to reduce motor load.
• On uphill climbs, pedal lightly—don’t rely entirely on the motor.
• Avoid overloading or carrying excessive weight beyond rated capacity.
• After riding in the rain, wipe down your e-bike and clean the connector ports.
