🔍 BMC eBike Inspection Checklist

Here’s a quick summary of what areas you should inspect every month or before long rides:

🔋 Battery Inspection and Care

Your BMC eBike battery is the heart of your ride. Follow these steps for optimal battery performance:

• Always charge with the original BMC charger.

• Keep the battery dry and clean at all times.

• Avoid extreme temperatures (below 0°C or above 35°C).

• Store partially charged (around 50%) if not used for long periods.

• Regularly check for loose connectors or corrosion near the terminals.

Pro Tip: Every 3 months, perform a deep charge-discharge cycle to recalibrate battery performance.

Your BMC’s mechanical components are precision-engineered for performance:

• Frame & Fork: Inspect for cracks, especially near joints.

• Handlebars & Stem: Ensure bolts are tight and aligned.

• Brakes: Test both front and rear brakes for smooth stopping.

• Suspension (if applicable): Check oil seals and adjust air pressure as per manufacturer guidelines.

• Pedals & Cranks: Tighten and lubricate regularly.

🧰 Tools You’ll Need for a Proper Inspection

Make your inspection easy with these essential tools:

• BMC torque wrench set

• Chain wear indicator

• Tire pressure gauge

• Allen key set (4mm–8mm)

• eBike-safe cleaning brush & microfiber cloth

• Lithium-based chain lubricant

• Digital multimeter (for battery testing)
