Technical and Maintenance
How do I maintain the life of the battery?
Please make sure to charge the battery once every 3 months if it is not being used for an extended period of time. This will help maintain the life of the battery. Failure to do so will result in a loss of range per charge.
What is the range on a single charge?
Each Espin Bikes has a different range. Please refer to the specific model's product page to find the range of the battery.
How long does the battery take to fully charge?
A full charge takes approximately 6 hours. The battery is detachable from the frame so you can easily charge the battery when you are at home, work or even while you are sitting at a coffee shop.
How long until a battery needs to be replaced?
The battery is expected to last about 2-4 years or around 500 charge cycles.
What is the max speed?
All Espin Bikes have different top speeds. Please refer to the product page of the specific model to find the top speed.
What type of tires does Espin use?
Espin pedal-assist eBikes use Kenda Kwest 26 x 1.95 tires with reflective strips for safer night riding. These are solid tires that are ideal for city riding. Soft enough to give you a comfortable ride yet hard and thick enough to handle sharp turns and not get interrupted by small sharp objects.
What maintenance is required?
Maintenance is exactly the same as a regular bike other than the four main electrical components: battery, motor, controller, display. You should do basic tune-ups on your bike after the first 100 miles. Regular tire pressure checking is important as you want to keep your tires inflated for maximum riding comfort. Other than that, the electrical components should require minimal maintenance and if any issues arise, please follow the instructions to diagnose the issue, which will be included in the user manual. If you are still unable to fix the problem, please submit a warranty claim and we will process your claim as soon as we can as we understand you want to get back on the road as quickly as possible.
