Replacing a chain on a hub geared kalkhoff electric bike

[jambonsambo]

Hi all ,

I am looking at a kahlkoff electric bike here with a very worn chain according to my chain checker device.

Do I need a special electric bike chain ? the bike has hub gears .Or will an 8 speed chain do ?

While I am here , has anyone any idea if leving a worn chain on the bike will eventually lead to problems down the line ?

Thanks ,,

J

normal bike chain, a worn chain will start to slip and wear the cogs front and back
