An electric motorcycle has no oil, air filter or spark plugs, so there is less maintenance than on a petrol bike. But the whole chassis – chain, brakes, tyres, suspension – wears just the same, and the electronics like to be kept clean and dry.
After every ride
- wash off mud with a gentle stream of water – no pressure washer near connectors, controller and battery;
- check for loose bolts, damaged cables or cracks;
- charge the battery (see the battery care tips).
Every 5–10 hours of riding
- Chain: clean, lube and check tension. The Surron Light Bee also has a primary belt – check its condition.
- Brakes: pad thickness and disc condition. Electric motorcycles are heavy and fast, so pads wear quicker than you might expect.
- Tyres: pressure and tread.
- Bolts: especially handlebar, footpeg, axle and brake mounts.
Every season or 50–100 hours
- Suspension: fork seals (no oil leaks), shock condition, fork oil change as per the manufacturer.
- Bearings: headset, wheel and swingarm bearings.
- Chain and sprockets: replace together when teeth are worn.
- Electrical connectors: check for corrosion and moisture.
- Software: some models receive controller updates.
Winter storage
- Clean and dry the bike.
- Charge the battery to 40–60% and store it somewhere warm.
- Check the battery charge monthly.
- Lube the chain and inflate the tyres.
