4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of your MOONCOOL Electric Tricycle. Perform these checks periodically:
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the frame and components with a damp cloth. Avoid using high-pressure water jets directly on electrical components.
- Battery Care:
- Charge the battery fully after each use, especially if it will be stored for an extended period.
- Store the battery in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- If storing for long periods, charge the battery to 50-70% every 2-3 months.
- Tire Pressure: Check tire pressure before each ride. The 20-inch tires should be inflated to the recommended PSI indicated on the tire sidewall.
- Brakes: Inspect the disc brakes regularly for wear on the pads and rotors. Ensure brake levers provide firm and responsive braking. Adjust or replace as necessary.
- Frame Inspection: Periodically inspect the 6061 aluminum frame for any signs of cracks, bends, or damage.
- Fasteners: Check all bolts, nuts, and screws for tightness. Loose fasteners can lead to component failure.
