After buying an e-bike: tips on adjustment and care
If you've already done your first few laps on your new e-MTB and the whole thing doesn't feel quite right in the saddle yet, you should take the time to adjust the saddle and cockpit to your body proportions and needs. That's why in this beginners' special we also show you how to adjust the E-mountainbike cockpit, saddle and suspension set up correctly - 14 points that you can do yourself in no time at all before your first journey.
If you don't want to run to the workshop for every little thing, you should also familiarise yourself with the technology on your e-mountainbike. For example, if the Gearstick on the e-bike ticks and the chain jumps between two sprockets, you can often fix this yourself with a few simple steps. But you can also actively do something to ensure the longevity of your e-bike. Because of the enormous motor power on the e-bike, drive components such as the chain and cassette wear out at breakneck speed. We show you how you can slow down the process - and save money in the process.
