Weekly Checks (10 Minutes)
- Tire pressure — Gotrax bikes run 30-50 PSI. Low pressure drains battery.
- Brake check — Should engage firmly.
- Bolt check — Stem bolts, handlebar clamp, axle nuts.
- Battery level — Don’t let it sit at 0%.
Monthly Checks (20 Minutes)
- Chain lubrication — Apply bike-specific chain lube.
- Brake pad wear — Replace below 3mm.
- Tire tread — Look for cuts, bald spots, embedded glass.
- Display and wiring — Check for loose connectors.
- Folding mechanism (Z4/R1) — Clean and lubricate joints.
Phoenix-Specific Tips
- Battery care is #1 — 110°F+ garage heat kills batteries. Store indoors.
- Never charge hot — Let bike cool 30 minutes after riding.
- Check tire pressure weekly — Hot pavement increases PSI.
- Lubrication dries faster — Phoenix heat evaporates chain lube. Lube more often in summer.
