Nowadays many people are hooked on using eBikes for some various reasons. However, they do not have some basic ideas on how to look after their eBikes well and as it should be.

eBikes are intended for regular road use and for a single person only. Using your e-bike for intense movements, such as extreme off-road use, jumping, or carrying too much weight will smash up the e-bike and could bring about some serious injury.
Making use of high pressure water streams to clean your e-bike is definitely a no-no. As water might seep inside the motor or the wiring compartment and will produce rusting of electrical parts or short circuits.
When there is rain or snow, avoid parking your e-bike outside. If you happen to be outdoors when the rain or snow falls, just bring the e-bike indoors and use a clean, dry towel to get rid of any wetness.
Always make sure that you do not misplace the both keys of your eBike. The minute you misplaced one key, you must make a copy of it as a back-up right away. On the other hand, if you lost both keys, you can no longer take out the battery from the e-bike.
On the whole, with a little time and training, you can perform maintenance on your bike, saving costly repairs and part replacements.
