I’ve read that using soapy water is useful for cleaning e-bikes but which type?
I could use washing up liquid but that’s for dishes
Alternatively I could use my Autoglym pH neutral shampoo, but that’s for my car.

maybe I should just stick to very expensive bike Muc Off cleaner?

Or final option just use warm water only.

Any thoughts ?

I bought a Worx hydroshot washer a year ago and it’s an incredible gadget for cleaning the car. I make sure it’s set to a gentle sprinkle for the e-bike. You get absolutely everything with it (attachments etc) even a foldable bucket to wash your bike before putting into the car. Rechargeable Also. I’d be lost without it. Bought a second battery but never needed to use it.
