Cleaning your e-bike not only keeps it looking great but also maintains its performance. For a thorough clean, start by using a rag and a gentle degreaser to wipe down all parts, from front to back. “Old T-shirts and toothbrushes along with Simple Green or even dish soap do wonders,” says expert Hardt. Follow up with a second wipe using a damp rag to remove any residue.

Tip: Avoid using high-pressure water, as it can damage electrical components.
