Maintenance
Basic Bike Care
To ensure safe riding conditions you must properly maintain your bike from Shengmilo. 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, dry cloth.
• 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 steel surfaces,
• 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 air or water.
• If the hub and bottom bracket bearings have been submerged in water or liquid, they should be taken out and regreased. 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 as required.
• 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, Shengmilo strongly recommends
having a certified, reputable bike mechanic maintain, tune, and ensure the bike is safe to ride.
