Specialist Electric Bike Repair Services in Dublin
Drive Systems: Bosch, Shimano Steps, Bafang & VOLT Conversions
Lifty Labs is Dublin's electric bike drive-system specialist. We diagnose assistance faults, error codes, and controller communication on Bosch Smart System, Bosch CX, Shimano Steps (EP8, E6100), and Bafang mid-drive and hub motors. We also carry out VOLT conversion projects (from €629) transforming standard push bikes into powerful road-legal e-bikes with a 2–3 business day fitting time.
Hydraulic Disc Brakes & Heavy-Load Safety Servicing
E-bikes are significantly heavier than regular bicycles and carry higher kinetic energy. Our workshop provides single caliper hydraulic brake bleeds (€50.00), dual front and rear system bleeds (€99.00), e-bike specific brake pad replacements (€59.99), rotor truing, and four-piston caliper conversions (Shimano, Tektro, Magura) for Dublin commuter and cargo bikes.
Chains, Cassettes and Mid-Drive Drivetrain Care
Mid-drive motors channel hundreds of watts of mechanical torque directly through the chain and sprockets. We conduct drivetrain wear checks, replace worn chains with reinforced e-bike chains, align derailleurs, tune gear shifting, and replace worn rear cassettes to eliminate chain skipping under hill climb loads.
Punctures, Tyres and Solid Tyre Conversions
We fix punctures (€59.99 inner tube or tubeless), install new reinforced e-bike tyres (€89.99), and carry out solid tyre conversions (€99.00 single / €149.00 pair). Solid tyre safety rating: Solid tyre conversions are strictly restricted to e-bikes and micromobility vehicles rated for speeds ≤50 km/h. High-speed speed pedelecs or vehicles operating above 50 km/h require pneumatic tyres for braking grip and chassis dampening.
Battery Safety Policy: Diagnostics & OEM Packs Only
Lifty Labs offers precision battery diagnostic testing, State-of-Health (SoH) scans, charger port repairs, and authentic OEM factory pack replacements. In accordance with Dublin workshop safety standards, Lifty Labs strictly does not offer battery cell repacking, cell rebuilding, or cell modifications. Swollen, impact-damaged, or wet batteries will not be charged.
Stage 2 IPX6 Japanese Super Sealant Weatherproofing
Our Stage 2 IPX6 Japanese Super Sealant weatherproofing (€199.00) protects motor phase terminals, display housings, controller circuitry, and battery docking contacts against persistent Dublin rain and winter road salt. Engineering cap: Weatherproofing protection is strictly capped at Stage 2 IPX6 heavy-rain protection; we never claim IPX7, IPX8, or 100% waterproof submersible performance.
