My tip is ,every beginning of a new month I oil the chain with some secondary oil with dry oil or wet oil , with the bike turned upside down on the grass !, wipe the chain until it shines like new , clean the gear and jockey wheels etc . This month I removed the back wheel , which is very easy to do , removed the cassette and wash off in petrol or paraffin , clean wipe the hub & before replacing the cassette I apply a thin film of waterproof white grease. I must admit that I don't take it out in the wet as I have 2 steel bikes that are 50 year old , Ellis Briggs , bob Jackson , and a Ribble with a treble chain set on (alloy). Occasionally I get caught out with the rain , but I try to keep it dry with my rides. I am 26 weeks into full knee replacement and the e bike as really helped me to get going again . Mye bike is the D10 with ultegra groupset on , I bought it off eBay for £1500 , I have done 8,000 miles on it and touch wood I have not yet had a big problem so far , new chain , new tyres , new brake pads. I bought it because got a 2018 model it looked spot on , & 20 months on it looks the same 5 years on , other than a few blemishes you would expect.

Great Video and some valuable lessons learned and passed on. Biggest tip is not to use chain cleaner/degreaser on your cassette as it will degrease the free hub bearing and cause it to fail prematurely for sure. Just clean the chain say once every 5 rides or so.

I've got the Ribble Endurance SL e (carbon fibre frame) & I ride so much over the cut off speed, I got home from a 100km ride on Tuesday (Cat & Fiddle road area) & climbed over 4500ft. Got home with 43% battery left, these Ebikes are just spectacular fun.

Leon Brookes: I have question which occurs from your comment. I think of e-bikes as being an option for maybe the older rider, or those whose fitness capacity has somehow been compromised. I actually went e-assist last year at the age of 90, when I finally decided that the hills where I live were getting to be too much, but it was a long time anyway since I had done as much as 100km, or maintained a speed of 25km/hr.. You are obviously pretty fit, so my question , and I mean no offence, is why do you ride an e-bike at all?

@@vincekerrigan8300 hi no offence taken at all & yes I can actually maintain speeds over 30kmph on decent flat roads, but I was after a new bike & I live really close to the Peak District (8 miles from front door I'm deep in) & on my other bike I found the steep inclines really draining, so I thought if an assist bike can help take the edge off the hills, I will be fresh enough to venture further afield & deeper into the Peaks. Also you are my idol & I can only wish that I'm still able to ride at all when I'm close to your age & I wish you even more years of good health.

Enjoyed your video. Very honest and informative without any hard sell. I wondered though about ebikes with internal batteries, what happens when the battery reaches the end of its lifespan? Does the bike have to go back to the manufacturer for replacement?
@LakeDistrictcyclist

Hi the batteries are easy to change on the x35 system just a few screws, but the batteries which come with these should last you a long time. 500 cycles of charge and you should still get 90% capacity which is unreal for a battery, I’ve done 52 cycles in 18 months so going off that time scale could get at least another 5-6 years before I need to worry about changing battery.

Handy tips. I'm hoping to get a Gain this year and I'm a Blue Light Card holder. Just wondering where you were able to get the discount using the Blue Light Card?

Tip number 6 full mudguards to protect the electric and yourself. 700 grams don’t make much different in a heavy bike.
