At Bair Bikes, we build our e-bikes to take you further, ride smoother, and make every journey more enjoyable. Whether you’re cruising along the Torquay foreshore, commuting through town, or exploring Australia’s coastline, your Bair Bike is designed to be a dependable companion every day.
But even the toughest, most reliable machines need a little care.
Just like a car needs oil changes or a surfboard needs regular waxing, your e-bike performs best and lasts longest when you keep it properly serviced. And we can’t stress this enough: regular servicing is essential to keeping your Bair Bike safe, smooth, and performing at its absolute best.
Let’s dive into why.
1. Safety First — Your Brakes and Tyres Matter
Your e-bike travels faster and carries more weight than a traditional bicycle, thanks to its motor and battery. That means your brakes, tyres, chain, and gears are doing serious work every ride.
A routine service checks for:
- Brake pad wear
- Cable or hydraulic performance
- Tyre condition and pressure
- Wheel alignment
- Chain stretch and lubrication
- Loose bolts or components
These might seem small, but they make a world of difference. A quick brake adjustment or tyre inspection can prevent accidents and keep your summer rides stress-free.
2. Your Battery Lasts Longer with Proper Care
Your battery is the heart of your Bair Bike. While Bair batteries are built for durability, they still benefit from regular checks.
A service helps monitor:
- Battery health
- Charging efficiency
- Connector and wiring condition
- Firmware updates (where applicable)
Taking care of your battery isn’t just about range it’s about longevity. A well-maintained battery keeps your bike feeling powerful and responsive for years.
3. Protect Your Investment
Let’s be real, a Bair Bike is an investment in quality, comfort, and fun. Regular servicing helps protect that investment by catching wear and tear early, before it becomes costly to fix.
A small tune-up today can stop a major repair tomorrow.
Think of servicing as a way to extend the life of:
- Your motor
- Your drivetrain
- Your brakes
- Your suspension (Hells Bells)
- Your battery
- Your tyres
When you maintain your bike, you’re ensuring that every ride feels like the day you bought it.
4. Keep Your Ride Feeling Fresh
There’s nothing better than a smooth, quiet, responsive bike.
No rattles. No grinding gears. No squeaky brakes.
A properly serviced e-bike gives you:
- Better pedal assist response
- Smooth gear shifting
- Better range
- Improved handling
- A quieter, more enjoyable ride
Regular maintenance restores your bike’s “new bike feel” and makes you want to get out and ride more often.
5. It Helps You Stay Road-Legal
In Australia, e-bikes must follow specific regulations to be road-legal. That includes making sure:
- Pedal assist is working correctly
- Speed cut-offs are functioning
- Safety equipment (like lights) is working
Regular servicing ensures your bike remains compliant and safe for public roads and bike paths.
So… How Often Should You Service Your Bair Bike?
We recommend:
- A check-up every 6 months for regular riders
- Every 3 months if you ride daily or cover long distances
- After 200–300 km for new bikes (initial run-in adjustments)
If you notice anything unusual noises, reduced range, stiff braking, unusual vibrations it’s worth booking a check sooner.
Bair Bikes Tip: Clean = Healthy
In between services:
- Wipe down your frame
- Keep tyres at proper pressure
- Avoid spraying water directly into the battery or motor area
- Keep your chain lightly lubricated

A clean and well-cared-for bike performs better and looks better.
