- Tire Pressure & Tread – Make sure your tires are properly inflated and free from debris that could cause a flat.
- Wheel Security – Check that quick releases or bolts are tight. Spin your wheels—if they wobble, it’s time for a tune-up.
- Brakes – Squeeze the levers to ensure strong, even stopping power. Inspect pads for wear.
- Suspension Check – Compress and release to confirm smooth function.
- Chain Lube – A dry chain is a sad chain. If it looks crusty, add some lube.
- Gear Check – Shift through your gears to make sure everything engages cleanly.
- Essentials – Double-check your tools, spare tube, and pump.
Monthly Maintenance (Every 500 Miles)
- Deep Clean – Wipe down your PEV, especially the drivetrain. Use soap and water if it’s caked in dirt.
- Chain & Gears – Degrease and re-lube your chain and cassette.
- Bolt Check – Go over all key bolts (cranks, pedals, seat post, handlebars, accessories) to ensure they’re tight.
- Brake & Shift Cables – Lube and inspect for fraying or rust.
- Spoke Tension – Lightly squeeze spokes to check for loose ones.
- Suspension Love – Lube moving parts per the manufacturer’s recommendations.
