Each reapplication used about 10-15ml of lube, so including the double application at the start, you’re looking at a bottle lasting you about 10 rides. The All Weather, Ceramic Wet and Dry Weather lubes have been developed to withstand the high torque lubes that are put through an eBike chain keeping your e-machine running smoother for longer.

As avid bikers ourselves we understand the desire to maintain and upgrade your bike with products you can trust. The Tweed Valley and the 100+ km of trails that stretch out from our front door have proven to become a meca for gravel, MTB and road cycling and our staff are out, rain or shine experiencing it all. This puts more strain through the chain and chain rings which will lead to higher friction from more metal to metal contact, which will lease to wear, if the correct lube isn’t used. The high torque loads on an e-bike will wear down the chain much quicker than on a normal bike due to the increased and instant surges in power from the motor. Over the course of 300km/19 hours of pretty rigorous off-road use, the drivetrain slowly built up a layer of wax around the chainring and rear mech pulleys.

There’s no way I or any other journalist can quantify the friction or wear reduction benefits of any lube in such a short distance, or indeed outside of a lab with replicable protocols. The unique water repellent, non-fling formula penetrates deep into the chain link, to create a durable protective coating which guards against corrosion and metal to metal wear. Factory grease is often only really there to stop the chain rusting in storage and should be stripped off before a proper lube is added. If there is increased wear on the e-bike chain does using the eBike lube make the chain wear the same as on a normal none-bike?

Formulated with our unique eBike specific lubricity pack to handle the higher torque loads of an eBike drivetrain.It is formulated to reduce friction and wear on all chains so that it can be used in any environment. The lube dries clear, and on the first spin of the cranks will quickly dislodge in areas where it built up, leaving a bit of a mess. The next generation formulation is designed to stick firmly to the surface of the chain which not only reduces wear, but also increase intervals between lubricant applications to save you money.
