Muc-Off eBike Drivetrain Tool
Clean & Lube Your eBike Chain Just Like An Analogue Bike
$39.99
If you own an eBike then you’ll know that cleaning and lubing your chain is a tricky business, as the crank doesn’t spin backwards like a regular bike unless it’s flipped upside down. But this can scratch components, or if you use an Allen key in your crank bolt it can get stuck in the bolt, or worse, damage your precious cranks! So we knew we needed to come to the rescue with a rad new tool that quickly and easily allows you to clean and lube your eBike.
Our new eBike precision machined drivetrain tool contains three different sized tool bits, which snap into place with a magnetized connection, all wrapped up in a durable CNC machined 6061 aluminium body. It fits straight onto your chain ring, so you can spin your crank backwards, and the protective silicone sleeve prevents any crank damage.
It comes supplied with a handy lanyard and carabiner clip, so you can keep the tool on hand for when your drivetrain needs some lovin’!

FAQs
Is it safe to spin my cranks and chainring backwards on an eBike?
Yes, this is safe to do. During the development we had this verified by a Bosch motor service engineer who confirmed it would not cause any issues with the motor.
Will the tool fit all eBike chainrings?
Our Drivetrain Tool is not compatible with spiderless chainrings, however will fit most chainrings that use a bolt on spider chainring. Due to the tapered spider chainring on some ebikes such as the Specialized Levo SL, the tool bit is slightly too short to extend into the chainring bolt. If you experience an issue with this, please contact us and we'll send you a free internal spacer to help extend the tool bit.
Will the tool damage my crank arms?
No, we’ve designed the tool with a protective silicone sleeves that wraps around the body of the tool and rests against the crank arms when in use.
How is this product sustainable?
The product is designed to last a life time of use. At the end of it’s life the various materials used for the tool can be split down and recycled (Aluminium, Silicone, Rubber and Steel). Packaging is all card which can also be recycled easily.
