Shimano Service Centers not only offer a high standard of technical knowledge, but also access to the latest parts and updates for your bike.

Why is maintenance important for your e-bike?

Just like any other bicycle, an e-bike also needs regular maintenance to continue to perform optimally. The maintenance of an e-bike is extra important because of the advanced technology that is incorporated in the bike. A well-maintained bike:

- performs better: the engine, battery and other components remain in top condition.

- has a longer lifespan: regular maintenance prevents wear and extends the lifespan of your bicycle.

- is safer: problems with brakes, tires or the drive are detected and resolved in good time.

Important maintenance intervals

- Monthly: check the tire pressure, chain and lighting yourself.

- Every 500 km: Have a short inspection carried out at a Shimano Service Center.

- Annually: schedule a comprehensive maintenance service, including checking the engine and battery.

The benefits of maintenance at a Shimano Service Center

With an e-bike that has Shimano components, like the Levante E4, you can always go to a Shimano Service Center for maintenance and service. Here are some advantages of maintaining your e-bike at an official Shimano Service Center:

1. Specialized technicians
The mechanics at Shimano Service Centers have in-depth knowledge of Shimano Steps systems and other Shimano components. They know exactly how to keep your Levante E4 in top condition.

2. Original parts
When you have your bike repaired or parts replaced, you can trust that only original Shimano parts are used. This guarantees the best performance and durability.

3. Advanced diagnostic equipment
Shimano Service Centers have the latest diagnostic equipment to identify problems with your e-bike quickly and accurately. This means your bike is ready to use again faster.

Practical tips for maintaining your e-bike

While it is advisable to take your e-bike to a Shimano Service Center regularly, there are also things you can do yourself to keep your bike in good condition:

1. Keep your bike clean: regularly wipe off dust, dirt and mud from your bike. This prevents dirt from building up and parts from wearing out and/or getting damaged more quickly.

2. Check tire pressure: Always keep tires at the correct pressure (2.5-3.0 bar) to reduce wear and drive efficiently.

3. Charging habits: Charge your e-bike battery regularly and avoid letting it run out completely.

4. Inspect moving parts: Regularly check the brakes for wear and dirt.

5. Store your bike dry: protect your e-bike from rain and moisture to prevent corrosion.

Take a test ride at the Shimano Experience Center in Valkenburg

If you are considering buying an e-bike, a test ride is the best way to experience what this e-bike has to offer. The Shimano Experience Center offers the possibility to make test rides, so that you can feel how the bike performs.

Why a test drive?
A test drive helps you determine whether the e-bike suits your riding style. During the test drive you can pay attention to:

- Comfort: how does the bike feel? Is the seating position comfortable?

- Performance: how smoothly does the engine support? Can you easily shift up? How does the bike react at different speeds?

- Riding experience: is the bike stable and manoeuvrable?

- Brakes: How well do the brakes work, especially when stopping suddenly?

How does a test drive work?

1. Make an appointment: contact the Shimano Experience Center and ask about the possibilities for a test ride.

2. Explanation and adjustment: before you set off, an expert employee will explain the bike to you and adjust it to your height and preferences.

3. The ride itself: take time to explore different terrains, such as flat roads, hills and possibly unpaved paths.

4. Evaluation: After the test drive, you can ask any questions and give feedback. This will help you make a well-considered decision.
