Take care of your tire and extend its useful life.
Bicycle tires are in contact and friction with the ground all the time, so bicycle tire maintenance is very important. Here are some tips for you to be kind to tires.
1.Do not expose the bike to the sun when it is hot.
If the bike is left in a place exposed to strong sunlight for a long time, the sun's ultraviolet rays will cause tire aging.
2.Inflate the tires to the correct pressure.
The recommended tire pressure is marked on the front of the tire. When inflating, stick to the value stated on the tire. Generally, new drivers will increase the value based on their experience.
Be careful not to inflate the air too much, especially when it is hot. Excessive air pressure can make cycling uncomfortable and cause tires to burst, affecting their lifespan.
3.Cleaning the tire
Most people have realized how to clean and care for the tire, but few clean the tire surface thoroughly. This means using a brush to remove dirt and sharp objects stuck to the rubber. Then rinse them with clean water.
4.Check the tires after driving
After each ride, check for glass, iron wire or other sharp objects. If you find them, remove them in time.
5.Be careful not to corrode the tires
E-bike tires are made of rubber. Therefore, the tires must not come into contact with oil, acid, flammable and chemically corrosive products when driving or parking. Otherwise corrosion, deformation or softening will occur. Therefore, it is very important to check and clean the tires after driving.
6.Be gentle while driving
Most tire problems are caused by cruelty while driving. Try to avoid the hard road and avoid objects on the road.
7.Note E-Bike storage
The e-bike must not be stored in strong sunlight. Even if you don't ride the bike for a long time, you still need to check and inflate it regularly. Do not leave the tires deflated for a long period of time.
8.Replace tires
The degree of wear of the front and rear tires is different. So you can replace them after a certain time if they are the same size. Please note that you are only replacing the tires, not the rims.
9. Avoid being overweight
Overloading bicycles affects the life of the tires. Under the premise of safety and compliance with traffic rules, it is okay to ride an e-bike and carry people or loads within the permitted weight.
10.Pay attention to changing tires
Changing tires can cause damage to the inner and outer tires. Therefore, it is better to pry the tires open with a special tire lever instead of using a sharp object as an alternative. When inserting the hose, it must be aligned straight without kinks.
The lifespan of an e-bike tire depends on your personal habits. If you take care of it carefully, it will always be with you. Love yourself, love your tires!
