Maintenance all year

Your cargo bike needs maintenance all year, but especially in the winter months it is important to pay attention to protection from rain, sleet and snow. Maintenance will often also save you extra repairs.

During the winter, it is important to wash your electric cargo bike more often than usual, so that it is kept clean of dirt and salt. If salt is allowed to stay on your cargo bike for too long, you may risk that your bike or parts of it will rust.

Wash your cargo bike with soapy water and Bike Wash about every two weeks. Feel free to use a soft brush to ensure that salt and dirt are removed.

Then we recommend that you lubricate your electric cargo bike with oil. It is especially important to lubricate the chain, gears and locks so that you achieve the greatest riding pleasure on your electric cargo bike. When you step on the pedals, it is the job of the chain to transfer the power to the wheels. A dirty chain requires more force, and wears hard on your chain and cargo bike.

Maintaining your cargo bike is super important, so you will enjoy your bike for many years to come. In winter, it is also especially important to keep an eye on the tire pressure, as the cargo bike must always ride with properly inflated tires. You will be able to feel this on your good bike rides.
