How to service your E-Bike with E-Bikeshop

Beat the Spring rush - Get your E-Bike serviced NOW!

By Ben Mowbray |

Have you been putting off servicing your bike? Something bugging you but haven't had the time to get it sorted? Maybe you had some upgrades planned for next season?

Spring is a busy time in the bike industry - tens of thousands of fair-weather cyclists emerge to join the winter-worn veterans.Ā On top of this, Spring is also the busiest time of the year for new bike sales which adds to the workload of workshops and so its normally the worst time to get a bike serviced.

You can beat the rush by getting your bike serviced during the quieter season of the year, while taking advantage of lower prices* and be ready the moment the sunĀ comes out.Ā

Top 5 reasons to have your electric bike serviced

Optimised Performance

Regular servicing ensures the motor, battery, and drivetrain function efficiently for the longest period possible, extending their overall lifespan.

Bosch Display Software update during ebike service

Software updates (done as part of the service and at no extra cost) improve system performance, fix bugs, and may even include enhanced battery economy updates from the manufacturer.

Extended Lifespan

Routine and preventative maintenance prevents premature wear of expensive components like the motor, battery and suspension.

Electric bike servicing to maintain long term reliability

Catching issues early (e.g. worn-out bearings or chains/cassettes) avoids costlier repairs or mid-ride breakdowns later on, leading to much better and long term rider enjoyment.Ā 

Safety Assurance

Regular checks on brakes, tyres, and frame integrity ensure your e-bike is safe to ride for both you and those around you.Ā 

Ensuring safety by servicing electric bikes

Electrical inspections help identify any loose connections, frayed wires, or water ingress issues which can be addressed immediately, again, extending long term performance and reliability.Ā 

Battery Health

Proper care (e.g., cleaning of contacts and other physical checks) ensures the battery maintains its range and efficiency for longer and most importantly, is safe to be in service.Ā 

Maintenance of electrical systems on ebikes to maintain performance

A well-maintained battery is less likely to degrade or fail unexpectedly and so this is a very important part of routine servicing which is best carried out by a manufacturer approved service and repair centre.Ā 

Compliance and Warranty

Servicing at recommended intervals often keeps your warranty valid, proving your own diligence and commitment in ensuring your bike is safe and its expected performance levels are maintained.Ā

Following manufacturer guidelines ensures you meet compliance standards for safety and performance, especially for road legality.

E-Bikeshop Workshop Pricing

*E-Bikeshop has always maintained workshop pricing lower than any of its competitors, often by as much as half. This has been made possible by only working on bikes we've sold to our own customers and not having a workshop filled with imported bikes for which there is next to no manufacturer support, leading to lengthy parts/repair times.

E-Bikeshop last reviewed its workshop labour pricing in 2017 at Ā£55 per hour for the first hour and Ā£45 per hour thereafter and this has remained for the last 7 years, despite significantly higher costs of business.

From 1st March 2025, our new pricing will be a flat Ā£69 per hour for labour. This will apply to all types of work undertaken. We know that many of our competitors are charging as much as Ā£100 per hour (sometimes more in London!), so we still feel this represents excellent value for work carried out by our highly qualified electric bike technicians.

First services (inside 3 months from delivery) are unaffected and will remain free for our customers.Ā

Help us, to help you!

While the weather isn't as inviting, there isn't a better time to get your bike serviced. Not only does it generally have less impact of peoples riding, its also the quietest time of the year for workshop bookings, giving us much more flexibility and time to work with and around you.

Workshop labour prices will remain at Ā£55 per hour until next year and 75% of services at E-Bikeshop are are currently completed with bills of less than Ā£100 including parts.Ā
