Loose spokes

Hi all , i've had my electric bike a few months now and it's going really well , today i gave it a quick check over and found quite a lot of the spokes had become loose , 5 or 6 very loose , could someone tell me is the tightening of spokes the same on electric bikes as it is on standard bikes , ie do they have to be under more tension , is there anything i should be looking out for when tightening the loose ones ( i'll be checking the wheel is running true ) .

Thanks Wizard

Exactly the same Wizard, treat it as a normal wheel when tightening the spokes and truing the wheel. A good build is good whether electric or normal hub.
