Lubricating the chain of an e-bike requires lifting the rear wheel to engage the drivetrain in a forward direction. This is cumbersome and can be difficult to do on one’s own. The Squirt eZ Luber uses a turn hook to fix the crank to the chainring, making it possible to roll the drivetrain backwards, as one would on a conventional bike, to lubricate the chain effectively. This simple but innovative tool makes it easier to apply Squirt E-Bike Chain Wax to the inside of the chain, where it can best facilitate accurate shifting and smooth pedalling.
The mechanics of an e-bike motor means that the cranks spin backwards freely without engaging the chainring. To lock the chainring to the crank, the Squirt eZ Luber slots around the crank arm and then hooks the chainring with a cylindrical turn hook.
The Squirt eZ Luber is available in a variety of colours – including blue, red, and orange – and features a scannable QR code on the inside, which links to a how-to video showcasing how the product works. Due to the forces exerted on e-bike drivetrains, Squirt Cycling Products® recommends the use of Squirt E-Bike Chain Wax to lengthen the lifespan of e-bike chains, jockey wheels, cassettes, and chainrings.
