The best advice you have ever been given

[Alan]

There you are in the garage focused on your e-dirt bike and suddenly you remember that one piece of advice that saved you time, money, or even a motor. What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given? Whether it’s about wrenching, riding, batteries, or life, we’re all ears!

An old mechanic once told me, 'Don't crank down too hard on electric bike parts, you're dealing with plastic and aluminum, not heavy-duty cast iron.' That piece of advice saved me from ruining so many bolt holes. Now, I always use a torque wrench and I haven't broken anything since.

A friend advised me to avoid storing the battery at full charge or completely dead, aim for about 60% to keep it lasting longer. I've been doing that for two years now, and my range hasn’t decreased at all. It's such an easy tip but really boosts battery life

The best tip I ever received was to check battery connections first when something goes wrong.
About 80% of 'electrical issues' turn out to be just corroded or loose connections.
It sounds simple, but it works every time, no lie.
