Why Regular E-Bike Service Matters (And Why Richmond Riders Trust Us)

Why Regular E-Bike Service Matters (And Why Richmond Riders Trust Us)

 

Why E-Bike Service Is Different from a Regular Bike Tune-Up


Electric bikes aren’t just bicycles — they have motors, batteries, and controllers that need professional care. At Richmond eBike, our certified mechanics understand the tech behind every ride. Whether it’s a minor tune-up or a major repair, we make sure your e-bike runs smooth, safe, and strong.

 

What We Offer at Richmond eBike


We service all e-bike brands* — not just the ones we sell. Our most common services include:

  • Brake and gear adjustments

  • Motor troubleshooting

  • Battery testing and replacements

  • Flat tire repair and tube changes

  • Full safety and diagnostic checks

🛑 Please note: We do not currently service e-bikes equipped with Bosch, Shimano, or Yamaha drive systems. These systems require proprietary tools and diagnostic software not available at our shop.

If you’re unsure which system your bike uses, feel free to contact us before your visit.
