Tyre inflation and replacement
Properly inflated tires are important for the safe handling of your Trike. All our tires have a recommended
inflation range marked on the sidewall of the tire. The ratings can be difficult to see, a light can be helpful.
Generally speaking, operating at the low end of the range provides a more comfortable ride, but at the
expense of diminished range per charge because of the increased rolling resistance. On the other hand,
higher pressures will give a better range per charge, but the ride feel will be firmer.
It is wise to regularly check your tire pressure with a quality gauge and inflate it as necessary. Riding with
a tire pressure that is too low can result in a phenomenon known as a "pinch flat"--
when the wheel hits an obstacle and the tire actually compresses all the way to the rim causing a puncture.
Tire Replacement
When tire wear becomes evident or a flat tire is discovered, you must replace the tires and/or tubes
before operating the trike or injury to operators and/or damage to your trike could occur.
When changing a tire or tube, ensure that all air pressure has been removed from the inner tube prior
to removing the tire from the rim. Failure to remove all air pressure from the inner tube could result in
injury.
Using aftermarket tires or inner tubes, not provided by Maxfoot Electric Bike may void your warranty,
create an unsafe riding condition or damage to your trike.
