Frequently Asked Questions About Our Electric Bikes

• How often should I perform maintenance on my electric bicycle?

  At Ride Bike Style, we recommend all our customers to schedule a first maintenance session after riding approximately a hundred kilometers following the purchase of their bicycle. This initial maintenance aims to assess the bike's condition after its initial assembly. During the first kilometers of riding, the components have time to set in motion and adjust naturally. During this first maintenance session, our experts can realign and readjust these components if necessary.

  Subsequently, we advocate for regular maintenance sessions every 1000 kilometers. These sessions are designed to maintain the optimal condition of your bicycle and ensure its longevity. During these appointments, our mechanics will conduct a thorough initial diagnosis of your electric bike. They will then present you with the necessary adjustments or repairs to preserve its performance.

  It is important to emphasize that these maintenance sessions should be carried out by qualified professionals. By entrusting your bike to experts, you ensure maintaining its optimal condition, reducing the risks of future failures, and thus extending its lifespan.

  Between these regular maintenance sessions, if you notice any signs of anomaly or any other issues, do not hesitate to consult Ride Bike Style for a check-up. By staying attentive to your bike's condition, you ensure safe and worry-free rides. Your satisfaction and safety are our priorities at Ride Bike Style.
