The motor, as one of the most significant components of an electric bicycle, must be maintained for the vehicle to operate more effectively and to ride effortlessly in challenging mountain areas. This article will show you how to maintain an ebike motor.

The Difference in Motor Power

The electric bike motor power levels on the market are usually between 250W, 500W, 750W, 1000W and 2000W. In general, higher power levels provide more operating power, making it easier to ride in climbing environments.

Here are the motor types, wattage and maximum speed of different models of E·Bycco:

Bike Model	Motor Position	Motor Voltage	Motor Power	Top Soeed	Torque
E8S	Rear Motor	48V	750W	34MPH	85N·m
E9	Rear Motor	48V	750W	32MPH	85N·m
E9Plus	Rear Motor	48V	750W	34MPH	85N·m
EB7	Rear Motor	48V	750W	33MPH	85N·m
EB7Pro	Dual Motors	48V	2*1000W	35MPH	100N·m*2
EB9	Dual Motors	48V	2*1000W	35MPH	90N·m*2
G7	Dual Motors	48V	2*1000W	35MPH	85N·m*2
52V EB7Pro	Dual Motors	52V	2*1000W	37MPH	100N·m*2
52V EB9	Dual Motors	52V	2*1000W	37MPH	90N·m*2
52V G7	Dual Motors	52V	2*1000W	37MPH	85N·m*2

With the same battery capacity, the greater the motor power makes the power stronger, and the greater the power, the faster the peak speed of the bicycle. However, speed fluctuates with the weight of the passenger and the conditions of the road. If you're a laid-back rider who doesn't like high speeds, a motor with a lower power output will be better for you. For speed and mountain bikers, choose a motor of 1000W or higher.

How to maintain your e-bike motor

1. Keep the motor away from water and moisture

Keep the motor as far away from water and humidity as possible. E·Bycco e-bikes are water-resistant throughout. However, it is still recommended that the bike not be exposed to excessive moisture for extended periods of time. This is because once the motor has been exposed to water, the damage to its performance is irreversible, making the subsequent repair process harder.

2. Avoid overheating the motor

As we all know, summer is the most preferred season for e-bike riding. The wonderful weather naturally creates enthusiasm for sports. Summer riding, on the other hand, is inevitably followed by the issue of high motor temperatures. External environmental conditions, together with the self-heating temperature generated by the motor over time, might cause the motor to become excessively hot and, hence, degrade its performance.

In order to promote motor protection, E·Bycco motors include automated protection settings that will immediately turn off the power and stop the motor running in case of excessive temperatures. You may remove the components around the motor to assist in the release of heat quicker if you want to cool it down faster.

3. Avoid unhealthy use of the motor

Many riders use their e-bikes for tough mountain riding to experience the exhilaration of climbing hills. However, this sometimes results in irrational use of the motor. When encountering a very high gradient, for example, driving the motor in constant high-speed mode causes the gears to wear out too quickly which can trigger the generator controller's cooling protection. Often, the cooling protection reduces the motor's horsepower compared to before as heat damages the motor's efficiency.

4. Keep the motor and area clean

Failure to clean and maintain the motor may also have an adverse effect on performance. Fat-tyre e-bikes provide the user with additional riding options and allow the vehicle to explore more diverse riding terrains. When riding on unpaved roads, mud, sand and other debris are bound to get into the vehicle's chain gears and other places that are often overlooked when it comes to cleaning. The residue of dirt can harm many components of the e-bike, including the motor, during the long-term oxidation process for most models with rear-mounted hub motors.

5. Store the motor properly

The motor's storage location is also a significant maintenance consideration. Properly storing the motor will help to protect its performance. External temperatures, whether hot or cold, might have an impact on the engine's performance. Keeping the vehicle in a cool and dry area is advisable to guarantee safe and adequate storage conditions.

The E·Bycco Electric Bike Motor is covered by a 1-year warranty, which gives the rider maximum protection for the duration of the warranty. Contact the manufacturer if there is a problem with the motor.
