Simple Maintenance for Your Electric Cycle

Electric cycles have fewer parts than petrol bikes, but they still live on real roads. Tyres, chains, brakes, and bolts all need occasional attention. The good news: most of it is simple enough to do at home.

Check tyre pressure weekly. Soft tyres drain battery faster and puncture more easily — especially on HUM when you are carrying cargo weight.

Clean and lightly lubricate the chain on pedal-assist models. Grit accelerates wear and makes pedalling feel rough even when the motor is helping.

What you should know

Inspect brake pads and disc alignment. E-cycles pick up speed quickly in sport mode; brakes should feel firm, not squeaky or soft.

Schedule periodic checks at Sri Rag Motors for battery health, firmware if applicable, and anything you are unsure about. Warranty-backed service is part of why buying from an authorised dealer matters.

Quick tips

• Keep a portable pump and patch kit in your bag.
• Tighten handlebar and seat clamps after rough roads.
• Wipe the battery housing dry after monsoon rides.
• Note service dates on your phone calendar.
