MAINTENANCE

ALL BIKES REQUIRE REGULAR  

MAINTENANCE

 to ensure safety and  

performance. Electric bikes require more  

care since they’re ridden further and faster 

than conventional bikes.
This schedule is recommended to ensure that 

your Liberty Trike remains safe and reliable.  

If you’re uncomfortable performing any  

maintenance on your trike, then you should 

visit a bike shop for assistance or call us  

at 

1-866-894-4620

 and we will find a  

bike shop near you that can help.

PRIOR TO EACH RIDE

•   Check the spokes, it should be tight and the wheels should not have side-to-side play.
•  Check the frame dropouts and the connection to the torque arm, it should be tight and secure.
•  Inflate the tires to the correct PSI recommended. Under inflated tires can cause serious 

damage, especially if you bottom-out on the rim, by a pothole or a curb. Don’t add more  

air than what the tire recommends. There's a potential that you can blow the tube and  

have a flat tire. 

•  Check cables, wires, and brakes that they are working correctly. Working brakes are crucial, 

and the brake cables are an important part of this. Lift the wheel off the ground and run  

the throttle. Then squeeze the e-brake lever, to make sure it cuts the power like it should.

•  Double check the battery to make sure it’s fully charged, secured and that the connections 

are tight.

AFTER EACH RIDE

•   Turn the Liberty Trike off by pressing and holding the "i" button.
•   Check your tires, frame and wheels for any damages.
•  Charge your battery, in order to keep it healthy.
•  Clean your Liberty Trike and don’t let the parts get dirty or greasy.
