Ebike service
Ebikes generally require more frequent maintenance than a conventional bike. The increased torque from the motor stretches the chain, wears out the cassette, and puts a significant load on the braking system, causing rapid wear of the brake pads and rotors. The increased weight and speed of the bike may also wear out bearings and tires faster than a conventional bike. Regular inspections of the fasteners and their torque values are also an important safety measure for ebikes.
What does Golden Goat service on ebikes?
Golden Goat Cycles is happy to service all of the mechanical and conventional aspects of ebikes. There are some caveats, such as bottom brackets with integrated torque sensors and brake levers with motor shutoff switches, that are not considered conventional components. All ebikes that are brought in for service are required to have their batteries removed prior to arrival.
