MAINTENANCE
If you do not have the experience, skill, and tools to complete maintenance and adjustment of
your bike, Aventon Bikes strongly recommends having a certified, reputable bike mechanic
maintain, tune, and ensure the bike is safe to ride.
Regular inspection and maintenance are key to ensure Aventon Bikes function as intended, and to
reduce wear and tear on their systems. Recommended service intervals are meant to be used as
guidelines. Real world wear and tear, and the need for service, will vary with conditions of use. We
generally recommend inspections, service, and necessary replacements be performed at the time
or mileage interval that comes first in the following table.
Notice: Before every ride, and after every 25-45 miles (40-72 km), we advise following the pre-ride
safety checklist.
