When using an eBike, several factors can lead to potential damage if not carefully managed. Here are some specific situations and how to avoid them:

1. Over-Discharging the Battery

• Issue: Over-discharging the battery, or running it down to empty before recharging, accelerates battery aging and reduces its lifespan.
• How to Avoid: Charge the battery when it drops below 20%, and avoid running it down completely.

2. Using a Non-Original Charger

• Issue: Using a non-compatible or non-original charger can cause the battery to overheat, swell, or even catch fire, leading to severe damage.
• How to Avoid: Always use the manufacturer’s original charger and ensure it is in good working condition.

3. Charging Sequence

• Issue: Improper charging connection can create sparks or damage the battery.
• How to Avoid: When charging the eBike, first connect the charger to the battery, and then plug the charger into the wall outlet. When finished, unplug from the outlet first before disconnecting the battery.

4. Tire Inflation

• Issue: Incorrect tire inflation can lead to uneven wear, reduced performance, or damage to the wheel.
• How to Avoid: When inflating the tires, always lift the wheel off the ground to prevent uneven pressure. Refer to the tire’s pressure rating, which is indicated on the sidewall, and ensure that the outer tire's safety line is evenly distributed.

5. Exposure to Extreme Weather

• Issue: Prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions, such as high temperatures, freezing cold, or excessive moisture, can cause electrical system failures, frame corrosion, and plastic component degradation.
• How to Avoid: Store your eBike indoors or in a sheltered area whenever possible, and avoid leaving it exposed to harsh weather.

6. Overloading

• Issue: Exceeding the eBike’s maximum load capacity places extra stress on the motor, battery, and other components, accelerating wear and tear, particularly on the tires, suspension, and braking system.
• How to Avoid: Do not exceed the recommended load capacity, especially when carrying passengers or heavy items.

7. Poor Riding Habits

• Issue: Frequent hard braking, rapid acceleration, or riding on unsuitable terrain (like rough off-road paths or waterlogged areas) can lead to tire damage, motor overheating, and accelerated wear of the braking system.
• How to Avoid: Maintain a steady riding pace, avoid aggressive riding behaviors, and steer clear of difficult terrain unless your eBike is designed for it.

8. Neglecting Regular Maintenance

• Issue: Failing to perform regular maintenance can result in gradual component wear or aging, affecting overall performance and potentially leading to serious malfunctions.
• How to Avoid: Schedule regular maintenance checks, including cleaning, lubricating the chain, inspecting the brake system, and ensuring the battery connections are secure.

9. Improper Storage

• Issue: Improper storage, such as in damp, excessively cold, or hot environments, can cause the battery to self-discharge, tires to deform, or the frame to corrode.
• How to Avoid: Store the eBike in a dry, cool place, and keep the battery charged to about 50% if storing for extended periods. If possible, elevate the bike to relieve tire pressure.

10. Unauthorized Modifications

• Issue: Unauthorized modifications or using non-original parts can lead to unstable performance, electrical short circuits, or other safety risks.
• How to Avoid: Avoid making unauthorized modifications. If modifications are necessary, use original parts or those approved by the manufacturer, and have them installed by a professional.

11. Improper Ramp Use

• Issue: If users need to load the trike onto a trailer via a ramp, please push it up manually. Failing to ascend a ramp and having the bike roll backward when using a motor could cause damage to the trike.
• How to Avoid: Always manually push the trike up a ramp when loading it onto a trailer, rather than relying on the motor.

By following these tips and maintaining good habits, you can ensure your eBike stays in optimal condition and avoid common issues that could lead to costly repairs or replacements.
