KOGA Evia comfortable electric bikes

With regard to the maintenance and safety of your bike, there are a number of things you can keep an eye on yourself.

For your own safety, you should check the following on a regular basis:

• Check all nuts and bolts - in particular quick-release mechanisms on wheels - are tightened securely.
• Check the handlebars and handlebar stem for signs of damage.
• Test the brake operation by checking whether you can stop within a few metres when cycling at a normal speed.
• Check that the tyre pressure does not exceed the maximum pressure marked on the tyre.
• Check the tyre tread and ask your dealer if the tyres look worn.
• Check that the lighting and indicators are working properly and are not obstructed. Wipe clean them regularly with a dry cloth.
• Check the handlebar grips for wear and make sure they are tight.
• For bikes with rear suspension, check that all screws on the suspension parts are tight. There must be no play in the bearings.

Checking these items and performing your own maintenance on them is not always straightforward. For this reason KOGA recommends arranging for your KOGA dealer to service your bike at least once a year.

You can also consult the instruction manual that came with your bike.

For a proper answer to this question, please ask your KOGA dealer, who has a more detailed knowledge of bike carriers and can give you better advice about them.

The capacity of the battery has a major influence on your e-bike’s range, but factors such as road surface, wind, and how much you and your luggage weigh also matter. It is therefore hard to say exactly what the range of a KOGA e-bike is. On our website you will find estimates for most models.

• Make sure your battery is always charged when you set off.
• Set the assistance most as low as possible
• Make sure your tyres are always inflated to the right pressure (as indicated on the side of the tyre)
• Select a light gear. Change to a lower gear when cycling into the wind or cycling uphill, as you would with a bike without assistance.
• Tip for winter! Charge the battery pack at room temperature as it will charge faster. The starting temperature will also be higher then, which improves the range. This will prevent the battery from self-discharging and other potential damage being caused to it.
