How to clean your SUPER73 e-bike

Cleaning your Super73 e-bike regularly is essential for maintaining its performance and appearance. Follow these simple steps to keep your bike clean and in top condition:

1. Gather your supplies: Get a bucket of warm water, the Muc-Off Waterless Wash or a detergent, soft brushes, microfiber cloths, and a hose or spray bottle.

2. Rinse the bike: Start by rinsing your e-bike with water to remove any loose dirt or debris. Use a hose or spray bottle to gently spray water over the entire bike, avoiding direct water pressure on sensitive components.

3. Clean the frame: Dip a soft brush or sponge into the soapy water and gently scrub the frame, paying attention to hard-to-reach areas and joints. Be careful around electronic components and connectors. Avoid abrasive brushes or harsh chemicals that could damage the paint or decals.

4. Wash the drivetrain: Use a separate brush to clean the drivetrain components such as the chain, cassette, and derailleur. Apply a small amount of soapy water to the brush and scrub the parts thoroughly to remove dirt and grime. Rinse off the suds with water.

5. Dry the bike: After cleaning, use a microfiber cloth to dry the bike thoroughly, removing any excess water. Pay attention to areas where water can accumulate, such as around the battery and connectors.

6. Lubricate moving parts: Apply a suitable bike lubricant such as the Muc-Off E-Bike All Weather Chain Lube to the chain, derailleurs, and other moving parts to ensure smooth operation. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for lubrication intervals and use a minimal amount of lubricant.

7. Inspect and maintain: While cleaning, inspect the bike for any signs of damage or wear. Check the brakes, tires, and suspension components. Tighten loose bolts if necessary and address any maintenance issues promptly.

8. Protect the bike: Consider applying a protective coating, like the Muc-Off E-Bike Protection or wax to the frame to help repel dirt and maintain a shiny finish. Use specific products designed for bike frames.

Remember, cleaning your Super73 e-bike regularly not only keeps it looking great but also helps identify any maintenance needs and prolongs its lifespan. Enjoy your clean and well-maintained ride!
