Servicing Your EBike
Service intervals
Service intervals vary depending on usage and bike however your ebike should be professionally serviced approx. every 8-12 months. This is to keep it in good running order and also to preserve your warranty if required by some manufacturers (see your manual).
We recommend an initial service after purchase though within 4-6 months or at around 500km, whichever is sooner. This will tighten up the things that loosen naturally as they wear in. If you are experiencing issues of any kind in those early days when you first start using your bike then we offer a free post sale adjustment to address this early.
Service Bookings
We operate by appointment only and you can book servicing, repairs, adjustments and diagnostics online.
Book Service Centre Appointment
If you drop in without an appointment – even for quick adjustments - please understand that you may be asked to leave your bike with us until we have availability. We will assist if we can however scheduled appointments take priority.
Service centre open hours
Our service centre is open Monday - Friday, 9.30am - 6pm.
It is not open on weekends however you are welcome to drop your bike off on Saturdays for work that is scheduled the following week.
Warranty Registration and User Manuals
Most user manuals are available online now and many brands also provide a printed manual with your bike. Some brands (not all) also ask that you register your electric bike for warranty purposes. Please follow the instructions provided in your manuals or refer to the website of the manufacturer of your ebike.
Each manufacturer has their own warranty policy and details are provided in your manuals. Here is a summary of the common warranty inclusions and exclusions, and the process to claim should you ever need to.
EBB Quick Guides
