Maintenance
Basic Bike Care
To ensure safe riding conditions you must properly maintain your bike from Senada Bikes. Follow these basic guidelines and see
a certified, reputable bike mechanic at regular intervals to ensure your bike is safe for use and fun to ride. See the Pre-Ride
Safety Checklist and Recommended Service Intervals sections in this manual for more detailed information.
● Properly maintain batteries by keeping them fully charged when between uses of up to two weeks apart. See Long-Term
Battery Storage section of manual for information on storing the battery for longer than two weeks between rides.
●
Never immerse or submerge the bike or any components in water or liquid as the electrical system may be damaged.
●
Periodically check wiring and connectors to ensure there is no damage and the connectors are secure.
● To clean, wipe the frame with a damp cloth. If needed, apply a mild non-corrosive detergent mixture to the damp cloth
and wipe the frame. Dry by wiping with a clean, drycloth.
● Store under shelter; avoid leaving the bike in the rain or exposed to corrosive materials. If exposed to rain, dry your bike
afterward and apply anti-rust treatment to chain and other unpainted steelsurfaces.
● Riding on the beach or in coastal areas exposes your bike to salt, which is very corrosive. Wipe down your bike frequently
and wipe or spray all unpainted parts with anti-rust treatment. Damage from corrosion is not covered under warranty so
special care should be given to extend the life of your bike when used in coastal areas or areas with salty airor water.
●
If the hub and bottom bracket bearings have been submerged in water or liquid, they should be taken out and re-
greased. This will prevent accelerated bearing deterioration.
●
If the paint has become scratched or chipped in the metal, use touch up paint to prevent rust. Clear nail polish can also be
used as a preventative measure.
●
Regularly clean and lubricate all moving parts, tighten components, and adjust asrequired.
● Regularly inspect all pre-attached and optional component hardware to ensure proper torque spec, secure attachment,
and good working condition.
If you do not have the experience, skill, and tools to complete maintenance and adjustment of your bike, Senada Bikes
strongly recommends having a certified, reputable bike mechanic maintain, tune, and ensure the bike is safe to ride.
