Cleaning

Any particular things I should watch out for when cleaning ebike. It's covered in sand, sheep poo, coo poo and we got soaked at least 3 times today.
Still smiling!

Check the terminals on the battery are clean and dry, then just make sure the bike is generally clean dried and lubed.

Hot soapy water and a wipe dry - same as an ordinary bike.

The wipe dry is arguably a bit more important, ebike electrics don't like being left wet or condensation.

You have a decent quality Bosch powered ebike.

Bosch describe the system as shower proof.

I've ridden mine in proper torrential rain with no problems, but I wouldn't leave the bike out in the rain.

Nope, usual rules about pressure washers apply (i.e. not the best idea).

Thanks folks, I did think the other day when I got to work I should have had a towel for the bike as well as the one for myself!

We have a separate building for the bikes at work so it's out of the elements once I'm there.
