Frequently asked questions
How often should a bike be serviced?
Many riders service yearly or every few hundred miles, sooner if used daily or in wet conditions. Mention heavy use or stored outdoors when you request help.
Can e-bikes be repaired at any shop?
Basic mechanical work often yes; motor and battery faults may need a brand-aware technician. Say if your bike is an e-bike and the motor make if you know it.
