How To Prevent Rust Or Corrosion From Damaging Your E-bike?
For most riders, a new e-bike is a major financial investment. It's important, then, to prevent rust or corrosion from damaging your e-bike.
1. Park your car indoors as much as possible and store your e-bike properly. If you must park your car outside in the rain or humidity, don't park it for a long time.
2. It is to avoid contact with corrosive substances.
3. Perform regular maintenance. Cleaning your e-bike not only keeps it from rusting and corroding, it also gives you a chance to check for any signs of failure. If painted metal parts are scratched or chipped, use touch-up paint or nail polish to prevent corrosion.
4. Keep your e-bike well lubricated. Lubricants not only keep your e-bike running smoothly, but also protect it from bad weather. Keeping all e-bike bushings and bearings lubricated as well as chain lubricated (if you want them to last long) is critical.

Thank you very much for your reply. Parking the car outdoors for a long time in the sun and rain will cause excessive aging of the car paint. Might improve the situation if you have a vehicle dust cover.

My truck has been parked outside for the last dozen years. Paint is still good and my cycling has not been impacted.
