- Inspect hydraulic disc brakes often and replace pads when stopping power decreases.
- Tighten key bolts monthly (handlebars, stem, seatpost, wheels, rack) for safe riding.
- Rinse off sand, salt, and moisture after beach rides to prevent corrosion and buildup.
- Keep electrical components dry and clean (display, wiring, battery mount, charging port).
- Check tires for punctures, cracks, or embedded debris before every ride.
- Monitor pedal assist and motor response for smooth, consistent performance.
- Schedule a professional e-bike tune-up every 6–12 months for drivetrain, brake, and motor care
