How to Set Your E-Bike Tire Pressure

Fewer flats, more range, better grip

Quick answer

Use the pressure range printed on your tire's sidewall. Check it weekly with a gauge. Go toward the high end for range and fewer flats, lower for comfort and grip.

  1. Find the range on the sidewall
  2. Pick a starting point
  3. Pump with a gauge

In plain English

E-bikes are heavy, so tire pressure matters more than on a normal bike. Too low causes pinch flats, sluggish handling and less range. Too high makes the ride harsh and slippery. Tires slowly lose air even without a puncture, so a weekly check is worth it.
