Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide:

Pre-Rinse:
Give your eBike a gentle low pressure pre-rinse, to remove loose dirt and debris taking care not to get water into any electrical parts including but not limited to battery terminal, LCD display, throttle etc.  Don’t use a jet washer/water blaster, even a thumb over the end of a hose can be too much pressure at close range, forcing water past bearing seals if you aren’t cautious, causing long term bearing issues and potential other damage to electrical parts. 

Cleaning:
Give your bike a scrub and agitate with a soft brush to break down the dirt, paying extra attention to any areas of stubborn muck. Then give your e-bike a rinse off, again with a gentle low pressure water.

Use a damp cloth to clean the rest of the bike avoid excessive moisture.

Wheels and Tyres:
Clean the wheels and tyres thoroughly. Check for embedded debris, and ensure the tyres are inflated to the recommended pressure.

Care for Electric Components:
Use a damp cloth to clean the electric components, such as the battery and motor. Avoid spraying water directly on these parts.
If your electric bike has a display or control unit, use a damp cloth to clean it. Avoid excessive moisture on the screen.

Chain and Drivetrain:
Carefully clean the chain and drivetrain ideally using a citrus based degreaser, chain cleaner and brush. Rinse off and wipe off excess water with a cloth, before re-apply your preferred chain lubricant.

Drying Time:
Allow your eBike to air-dry in the shade or use a soft cloth to gently dry it. Pay attention to hard-to-reach areas, ensuring no water remains trapped.

Post-Cleaning Inspection:
Conduct a post-cleaning inspection. Check for any loose bolts, damaged parts, or signs of wear that may need attention. It is crucial that your bike is dry before putting it away.

Conclusion:

Regular cleaning not only enhances the appearance of your electric bike but also contributes to its longevity and performance. Make cleaning your eBike a routine part of your maintenance schedule to ensure more fun rides ahead.
