The Hardest Working Part of Your Bike: The Chain
A mid-drive or high-power hub motor puts immense stress on your drivetrain. Without regular care, your chain and sprocket spares will wear down within a few hundred kilometers. Here's how to keep them running smooth.
Choosing E-Bike Specific Chains
A standard bicycle chain isn't designed for the 250W-350W torque of an e-bike. Our specialized e-bike chain spares feature reinforced pins and thicker plates. This prevents the chain from stretching and damaging your expensive cassette.
Lubrication is Key
A dry chain causes friction, which reduces your battery range and creates heat. Use a wet-weather or ceramic lube accessory for the best performance. Always wipe off the excess lube to prevent it from attracting road grime.
Using a Chain Checker Tool
Investing in a small chain checker accessory can save you thousands. By replacing your chain before it stretches too far, you prevent it from 'eating' your sprockets, which are much more expensive to replace.
Keep It Smooth
Don't let a rusty chain ruin your ride. Shop our performance drivetrain spares and premium lubricants.
