Oxygen E-Bike Maintenance
Here are some bike maintenance tips recommended by us here at Oxygen Electric Bicycles to help you get the best out of your bike, and to ensure that your bike is in great condition and always ready for the next adventure!
LUBRICATION OF BIKE COMPONENTS
Your bike’s condition will change after every trip and generally the more you ride the more regular bike maintenance will be required. We recommend that you do carry out regular maintenance checks. Please see the table below for a guide on how often to carry out regular bike maintenance tasks.
HOW TO LUBRICATE | COMPONENT | FREQUENCY | LUBRICANT |
|---|---|---|---|
Chain | Weekly | Chain lube or light oil | Brush or squirt |
Derailleur Wheels | Weekly | Chain lube or light oil | Brush or squirt |
Derailler | Weekly | Oil | 2 squirts from oil can |
Brake Leavers | Weekly | Oil | 2 squirts from oil can |
Brake Callipers | Monthly | Oil | 2 drops from oil can |
Freewheel | Every 6 Months | Oil | Disassemble |

Please note that the above table is just an example on different kinds of lubricants that can be used and a frequency of using them.
Please never use any spray degreasers for bike maintenance lubrication. Always contact your bike dealer for the best advice on what type of lubricant to use. If you feel uncomfortable with doing the routine maintenance by yourself, please use a qualified bicycle mechanic.
