1. Battery Care: The Heart of Your E-Trike

The battery is the most critical component of your electric tricycle. Follow these tips to maximize its lifespan:

• Charge Correctly: Avoid overcharging or completely draining the battery. Charge it when it reaches 20-30% and unplug once fully charged.

• Store Properly: If not in use for an extended period, store the battery at 50-60% charge in a cool, dry place.

• Clean Terminals: Regularly check and clean battery terminals to prevent corrosion.

2. Tire Maintenance for a Smooth Ride

Proper tire care ensures safety and efficiency:

• Check Pressure Monthly: Underinflated tires increase rolling resistance, reducing battery efficiency.

• Inspect for Wear: Look for cracks, punctures, or uneven wear and replace tires if necessary.

• Keep Them Clean: Wipe off dirt and debris to prevent long-term damage.

3. Brake System Safety Checks

A well-functioning brake system is crucial for safe rides:

• Test Brakes Regularly: Ensure they engage smoothly without squeaking.

• Adjust Brake Pads: Worn-out pads reduce stopping power—replace them if they’re too thin.

• Lubricate Cables: Apply lubricant to brake cables to prevent rust and ensure responsiveness.

4. Keep the Motor and Drivetrain in Top Shape

The motor and drivetrain need occasional attention:

• Clean the Motor Area: Remove dust and debris to prevent overheating.

• Lubricate the Chain: If your e-trike has a chain, apply bike lubricant regularly to reduce friction.

• Check for Unusual Noises: Grinding or clicking sounds may indicate a mechanical issue.

5. Regular Cleaning and Storage Tips

A clean e-trike lasts longer:

• Wipe Down After Use: Remove dirt, mud, and moisture to prevent rust.

• Avoid Harsh Weather: Store your SKYDNG electric tricycle in a covered area to protect it from rain and extreme temperatures.

• Use a Cover: If outdoor storage is unavoidable, use a waterproof cover.

6. Software and Electrical Checks

Modern e-trikes have electronic components that need monitoring:

• Update Firmware (if applicable): Some models receive performance-boosting updates.

• Inspect Wiring: Look for frayed wires or loose connections.

• Test Lights and Indicators: Ensure all electrical features work correctly.
