How much does e-bike maintenance cost annually?

Budget $200-400 per year for regular maintenance: brake pads ($20-40 every 2,000 miles), chain replacement ($15-30 every 3,000 miles), tire replacement ($30-60 each as needed), and an annual tune-up ($100-150). Battery replacement is the big expense — $400-800 every 3-5 years. Keep the drivetrain clean and the battery properly stored to maximize component life.
