Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new e-Bike battery cost?
Can I repair my e-Bike battery myself?
Is it better to have a removable battery on an electric bike?
I’m a big fan of removable batteries since they offer more options for charging, along with the advantage of swapping in a spare battery to extend the range. Most electric bikes have a removable battery so a majority of bike manufacturers and riders must agree with me. However, a non-removable battery is definitely not a deal breaker.
Should I remove my e-Bike battery when not in use?
For short-term storage, it’s encouraged to leave the battery on the bike where it’s designed to be. For long-term storage, take it out and keep it at room temperature. Modern chargers are designed to prevent overcharging, but keeping it at 100% charge levels still puts extra stress on the battery.
Key Takeaways
- Chargers included, always: Every refurbished e-Bike from Upway comes with the correct, original charger.
- Battery health guaranteed: All bikes keep at least 80% battery capacity, with replacements when needed.
