Driven by China’s “dual carbon” goals, electric motorcycles are becoming a top choice for more people thanks to their environmental friendliness, economy, and convenience. As a company specializing in the R&D and production of electric motorcycles and elderly electric mobility scooters, Zhejiang Shengge Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “Shengge Technology”) is committed not only to providing high‑quality products but also to helping owners extend vehicle life and ensure riding safety through scientific maintenance knowledge. Based on Shengge Technology’s technical expertise and industry experience, this article outlines key daily maintenance steps so your green travel can last longer and feel more secure.
1. Battery – The “Heart” of an Electric Motorcycle, Requiring Special Care
The battery is the core component, directly affecting range and performance. Shengge Technology uses high‑stability lithium batteries and an intelligent Battery Management System (BMS). Still, daily use requires attention to:
-
Avoid overcharging or deep discharging: Try to keep charge between 20%–80%. Disconnect promptly when fully charged (most Shengge models have overcharge protection, but long‑term connection may still affect battery activity). Charge immediately if below 20% to prevent deep discharge damage.
-
Mind the charging environment: Choose a dry, ventilated area; avoid high heat (such as direct sun in a shed) or damp places. Use the original charger—non‑original devices may cause overheating due to voltage/current mismatch.
-
Regular checks: Every three months, inspect battery terminals for cleanliness and oxidation (wipe gently with a dry cloth). If range drops significantly (e.g., normal mileage reduced by over 30%), contact a Shengge authorized service center for professional testing.
2. Motor and Electronic Control System – The “Control Center” of Power, Guard Against Moisture and Dust
Shengge’s electric motorcycles feature self‑developed high‑efficiency brushless motors and intelligent electronic control systems, delivering low noise and high torque. However, as precision components, motors are vulnerable to dust and water:
-
Clean carefully, avoid water ingress: When washing the bike, do not spray high‑pressure water directly at the motor casing (especially wiring ports). If splashed, dry immediately with a cloth and let air dry to prevent internal short circuits.
-
Avoid overloading: Some Shengge models specify a maximum load (e.g., 150 kg). Long‑term overloading increases motor strain, causing abnormal heating or even coil burnout.
-
Check wiring regularly: Monthly inspection of motor‑to‑controller cables for looseness or wear (especially at bends). Replace or treat any damaged insulation or corroded connectors to avoid signal transmission faults.
3. Braking System – The “Safety Baseline”, Must Be Responsive and Reliable
Braking performance is directly tied to riding safety. All Shengge models undergo strict braking tests (meeting our high in‑house quality standards), but regular maintenance is still essential:
-
Brake pad inspection: Every 500–1000 km, check pad thickness (normal ≥ 3 mm). Replace immediately if worn to ≤ 1 mm. Sharp friction noises may indicate hardened pads or trapped debris—clean or replace as needed.
-
Brake fluid/line care: For hydraulic brakes, check fluid level every year or 10,000 km (must be within MIN–MAX marks). Replace if fluid is cloudy or water content is too high (test with special strips). For mechanical disc/drum brakes, lubricate cables periodically with dedicated lubricant to prevent sticking.
-
Test sensitivity: Before each ride, lightly squeeze the brake to check even braking force. If heavy pressure is needed to stop, the gap may be too large or there’s a pump issue—adjust or repair promptly.
4. Tires and Drive System – The “Foundation” of Stable Riding, Watch for Wear
Tires contact the ground directly, influencing grip and energy consumption; the drive system (chain/belt) affects power transfer efficiency. Shengge’s tires use high‑wear‑resistant rubber compounds, but note:
-
Tire pressure and wear: Check pressure weekly (refer to vehicle label, typically 2.0–2.5 bar). Low pressure increases rolling resistance and accelerates wear. Look for cracks, bulges, or embedded objects (e.g., glass). Replace once tread reaches wear indicators (small bumps in tread grooves).
-
Drive cleaning and lubrication: For chain drive, clean dirt every 300 km with a dry cloth and apply dedicated chain oil (avoid excess to prevent fling). For belt drive, check tension monthly (press middle of belt—normal deflection 10–15 mm). Too loose causes slipping and noise.
5. Daily Details – Good Habits Make Maintenance More Effective
Beyond core parts, small habits greatly improve vehicle condition:
-
Parking environment: Avoid prolonged sun exposure or rain (Shengge models have rust protection, but long moisture can still cause metal corrosion). In winter, move indoors or use a cover; low temperatures temporarily reduce battery activity (normal—recovers after 10 min of charging/riding).
-
Regular bolt checks: Quarterly, use a wrench to check frame, seat, mirror, and other fixed bolts for loosening (especially after rough roads) to prevent displacement from vibration.
Good Maintenance Means Safer Travel – Take Action Now!
Many owners overlook a simple truth: One professional maintenance session outweighs ten emergency fixes. When your bike has sharper brakes, smoother motor operation, and more stable battery range, that sense of “control” and “security” becomes a daily joy, multiplying the pleasure of green travel.
You might wonder: “My bike is still new—is maintenance too early?” or “Will DIY damage parts?” In fact, from the moment a Shengge bike leaves the factory, owners enjoy thoughtful maintenance support—whether you’re a beginner or experienced rider, we offer tailor‑made care plans that make technical issues simple and manageable.
Choosing professional maintenance means choosing peace of mind for every journey. Contact Shengge Technology now, and let us safeguard your green travel and protect your freedom on the road!
