Very little feels better than riding your ebike with a smooth, clean drivetrain. For the easiest pedaling and greatest efficiency on your ebike, be sure to keep your drivetrain lubricated. Pedaling the cranks moves the chain around your cassette, which in turn rotates the cassette and the rear wheel. Chain lube keeps all of these parts of the drivetrain clean and lubricated for the best ride possible. A quick wipedown of your chain after most rides and an application of chain lube will help you focus on what matters: enjoying the ride on your ebike and getting to where you need to go.

Wax-Like Barrier

In arid climates you worry more about dust and grime getting into the nooks and crannies. Consider this product if that is the case.Amazon

If you live in an area with dry conditions where you mostly have to worry about dust and grit, a Teflon-based lube may be the best option for your ebike. While Teflon lube applies wet, it dries into a wax-like barrier that protects your chain from grime in dry conditions. This waxy protection repels moisture and increases pedaling efficiency for an easier, cleaner ride.

Everyday Solution

Maintain efficient riding by keeping links clean.Amazon

In versatile weather scenarios for the daily ebike rider, an all-in-one lube is the perfect solution. Look for a chain lube that also acts as a cleaner. In wet or dirty conditions, your chain is more likely to pick up grime that sticks to the chain and minimizes pedaling efficiency, so cleaning the chain while lubricating is very important. Most all-in-one chain lubes greatly reduce the likelihood of chain rust, so be sure to apply properly after any dirty or wet ebike rides.
