You may already knew the why there are price difference of ebikes, several reasons will come up if you Google it:
- Battery
- Motor
- Gearing
-
Weight....
In this article, we will tell you something you may not considered while picking an ebike, it's a little more directly to let you know "why". Let's begin now:
1. Basic material
I would share a very important part but always been ignore: screws.
They are rarely mentioned, but don't look down on these little guys! If you are an experienced riding enthusiast, you will know that rust on the frame always starts from screws.
If your frame is made of aluminum alloy, water alone will not cause rust. However, the interface between the screws and the frame is prone to water seepage and is not easy to air dry. the screws are not made of aluminum, but ordinary steel, so the screws will start to rust first. The rusted areas will frequently contact the frame, and the outer layer of the aluminum alloy will be damaged, so the rust will slowly "spread" to the entire frame.
So how to avoid this situation? We picked the 304 stainless steel screws, they are durable enough and corrosion resistance—— Means that even you ride a bike in rain or spread some soda on it, not a problem!
AWDEBiKE has a strictly quality control for these little screws because we know how this problem bother our riding so much. We have a very simple way to test out if these batch screws are 304 stainless steel: Take a few screws randomly, soak them in seawater for a week, take them out to air dry, and observe whether they turn yellow. If not, then the test is passed!
2. Motherboard circuit control
It's normal used at the cars, but not a standard configuration at ebikes. One operation, whole ebike linkage wins your good experence on riding. We will tell a simple example: You may find out some ebikes taillight is hand switch——when night ride, you have to get off the bike and walk to the taillight to turn it on. But if the taillight has been link to motherboard, then it could be completely controlled by the front display.
Another example, all the brakes of AWDEBiKE are connected to the motherboard. You may ask how will this help because the brakes are control by us. But once you operate the brakes, the wheel motor will also stop supplying power. That will makes our braking much easier and safe!
3. After-sales
This is a common topic, but it is usually considered last. You don't want to be alone when you're on the road or meet something emergency, at this time, customer support from ebike will be necessary. E-bikes involve complex electronics and components that might be unfamiliar to many users. Providing technical support helps customers understand how to use, maintain, and troubleshoot their e-bikes, make complex problem become easy. So customer could return to their normal using again.
AWDEBiKE offer instant customer service, and we encourage our customers to video call us if you don't know how to deal with problems. Let's fix it!
