Do I Need an eBike Specific Chain Lube?
We get asked this a lot:
“Do I need to use a special chain lube for my eBike?”
Short answer? Nope.
Here’s the Deal
Some brands will try to convince you that you need a completely different lube for your e-bike because it puts out more torque or goes through chains faster.
While it’s true that eBikes can be tougher on drivetrains, what matters more is how and where you’re riding, not whether there’s a motor involved.
All Our Lubes Are eBike Tested
At Peaty’s, we’ve developed and tested every single one of our LinkLube chain lubes using eBikes — on proper trails, in real-world conditions.
Whether you’re smashing muddy climbs with LinkLube Wet, spinning dry gravel miles with LinkLube Dry, or tackling a bit of everything with LinkLube All Weather, you’re covered.
These lubes are designed to handle the higher loads, longer rides, and rougher conditions that often come with eBiking. No gimmicks. No upsell. Just solid performance.
The Bottom Line
You don’t need to buy a chain lube just because it says “eBike” on the label.
You just need a properly formulated lube that suits your riding conditions.
And guess what?
That’s exactly what we make.
👉 Ride more. Worry less. Let the motor do the work.
