This article can help to better understand the types, selection, maintenance of electric bicycle shock absorption systems and how to improve the shock absorption effect:
Shock absorber type
1. Spring shock absorption: The basic shock absorption method, which absorbs shock through the spring, has low cost, but may have limited comfort on complex roads.
2. Hydraulic rod shock absorption: Provide more delicate shock absorption effect, can adjust damping according to vibration intensity, improve riding comfort.
3. Spring and hydraulic hybrid shock absorption system: combining the advantages of both, both the base support of the spring and the dynamic adjustment ability of the hydraulic
pressure, suitable for most electric bicycles to provide better bearing capacity and comfort.
How to choose the right shock absorber
- Consider the use of the environment: often riding on rough roads, should choose a better performance of hydraulic shock absorption or hybrid shock absorption system.
- Weight and load: Ensure that the shock absorber can withstand the rider's weight and possible additional loads to avoid overload.
- Adjustment function: If conditions permit, choose a shock absorber with preload adjustment to adjust the stiffness according to individual needs.
Improve the overall damping effect
- Tire selection: Wide tires provide more contact area and reduce shock transmission.
- Frame design: Some high-end models will use special materials or designs to increase rigidity and shock absorption.
- Regular maintenance: check whether the shock absorber leaks oil, whether the screws are loose, timely adjustment and replacement of damaged parts.
Shock absorber maintenance
- Check oil leakage: the oil leakage of the shock absorber needs to be dealt with in time, which may be the seal damage, affecting the shock absorption effect.
- Proper fastening: Ensure that the mounting screws are not tight or too loose, so as not to affect the normal operation of the shock absorber.
I hope the above information can help you understand the electric bicycle shock absorption system and make a more appropriate choice and maintenance.
