How To Stop Destroying Your E-Bike | Winter E-MTB Maintenance Mistakes

Have you had to learn any of these the hard way? Hopefully not! Share this video with your friends that may need to give their bike a little bit of TLC this winter!

I've been using electrical tape as an extra seal around charging port and battery compartment on my Cube Stereo. This prevents any contaminants from entering the inside of the housing. When the bike needs charging I simply remove the tape, charge the bike and later re-seal it with a fresh piece of tape. It's simple, cheap and effective!

You and GMBN have, by far, the best production vidoes about our sport, bar none. I have learned so much about techniques and maintenance from your channel that has contributed my greater personal enjoyment every week. There's no one that even comes close to your quality. A huge thanks.

Best educational ebike maintenance video I've see! Easily Understandable!! I'm a Newbie, really appreciate this information and how to's!!!

I found cleaning the cassette with wooden BBQ skewers works well. They fit in between the gears nicely and go all the way down to the hub. I rub both sides of the gear with the skewers while turning the crank, gets rid of the gunk that collects there. Cheers!

Thanks Doddy. A good winter tlc reminder well presented as usual (I cannot image Mr Jones taking such care of his bikes!) 😎

A great substance for the connections and charging port is dielectric grease. It repels water, protects the terminals and is non-conductive. A little dollop into the port and close it up.

Extremely helpful maintenance tips. thank you!

This is good info for a beginner who has a mid-drive. As a 4 season rider who has been going for 20 years on the same bike I would add a suggestion to this: do a full inspection, cleaning, and greasing at the start of every season, this way season specific precautions can be done. I have disovered grease and lube that works great in summer turn to gum in the winter cold and, conversely, the same liquify in the summer heat. Would be nice if you guys did some rear wheel motor e-bikes, that's what I have and am familler with.

Brilliant tips as always EMBN

Watching and listening to your expertise is a pleasure and I have learnt so much-recently returned from overseas with a 48 volt fat tired beauty and now I have a perfect teacher so I can get the maximum from my Bike,encore your a diamond.

An absolutely informative video. Love your channel. Kind regards from Bonnie Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Keep safe

Thank you. Learned so much

IME you can avoid/minimise the hard gunk on your rear mech and cassette by avoiding Ceramic Lubes. Get a grunge brush on the wheels and some degreaser and that's it sorted. I use Purple Extreme and never have to deal with it anymore.

Excellent Video! Proper cleaning and lubricating after every ride will prevent so many costly problems later on.

VERY!! very good Video! Thanks so much! I appreciate this. You can explain very good, i am german, and i understand everything. Thanks, Danke schön!!

One tip I've learnt is using a shower cap (from staying in hotels: as I'm bald). They are great to put over the disc to protect it form any gunk when cleaning

Great video, thank you

Top tube protection I use a amazon basics cable tidy, they are made from Lycra so they stretch to fit you top tube. Get them dirty take them off and chuck them in the washing washing.

Great help, thanks
