Secrets to increasing the 'lifespan' of motorbikes and electric bicycles

(Baonghean.vn) - Motorbikes and electric bicycles are popular means of transport for young people, but not everyone knows how to use and maintain the vehicle to keep it durable, beautiful and smooth for a long time. Below are some tips to help you operate and maintain your vehicle effectively.

Always watch the power display panel

Like the fuel gauge on a motorbike, an electric vehicle also has a battery power display to show when the vehicle is running low on power and needs to be recharged.Depending on the type of vehicle and how far it has to travel, you must also know how to estimate the distance so that the vehicle can operate without problems on the road.

In addition, driving a lot with too little energy also causes the battery to wear out faster. Currently, battery-powered cars usually have a range of less than 50-80 km when fully charged.

Avoid sudden braking,sudden acceleration

Daily riding plays a big part in the longevity of your bike. For electric bikes, the main parts that can fail are the battery, charging system, motor, brake and throttle cables.

When riding an electric bike, avoid sudden braking and then accelerating suddenly. This will significantly reduce the battery of the bike, in the long run, the motor will not last long if it is forced to work hard. If it is an electric bike, you can pedal a few more times to start the journey. Similarly, when going uphill, pedal with power assist or reduce the load to go uphill without affecting the motor.

Use synchronous charging with battery

Choosing the right charger and battery has a big impact on the battery life, so you need to choose the right type, meeting the specifications for each type. Choosing the wrong one will reduce the battery capacity, cause the battery to swell or even explode during charging.

Replace tires with the correct specifications for your vehicle.

Few people may pay attention to the tire specifications used by electric vehicles, but to ensure the durability of the tires, you need to replace the tires with the same specifications as the original tires. When buying an electric vehicle, you will get accurate information and specifications, so pay attention and use genuine tires with standard specifications.

Ride with a reasonable load

Each type of electric vehicle has a different load capacity, the small type can carry over 40kg, the heavier type can carry no more than 90kg. Therefore, electric vehicles are mainly for 1 person, maximum 2 people.

If you use an electric vehicle with too much weight, it will put pressure on the motor, rim frame and spokes. You can see the heat near the battery or motor when traveling with 2 people on the electric vehicle for about 2 km.

It is taboo to let water get into the engine and IC of the car.

Although many car manufacturers introduce electric motorbikes and electric bicycles as equipped with waterproof systems, it is best to avoid driving in the rain or flooded areas.

The motor and IC are two extremely important parts of the entire electric vehicle, and will be oxidized if flooded. Depending on the duration of flooding, the vehicle may be disabled immediately or symptoms may appear after a while.

Do not leave the car under the hot sun

When the temperature is high, the battery will automatically discharge energy. The ideal working temperature of the battery is from 20 - 25 degrees, so you should not ride an electric bike outdoors when the temperature is too high, and you should not expose the bike to the sun for a long time.

Notes when cleaning the car

When the vehicle is covered with dust and dirt, it is best to clean it with a wet towel. When washing the vehicle, be careful not to use a spray nozzle on the throttle and battery area to avoid strong water spray penetrating into the vehicle's waterproof mechanism and damaging vehicle components.

Regular vehicle maintenance

After a period of use, there will be a certain amount of wear and tear. Therefore, during use, users should regularly observe and check the parts with screws or joints that need lubrication such as chains, steering wheels, etc. for timely maintenance.

Depending on frequency and level of use, vehicle maintenance can be done every 3 or 6 months.
