MAINTENANCE
MAINTAINING PEAK PERFORMANCE

Your Trekinetic is a precision-engineered machine designed for independence and adventure. Keep it operating flawlessly with this essential home maintenance checklist.

Engineering at its best requires routine care.

While we recommend that your Trekinetic requires a comprehensive professional service every 12 months, regular visual checks and minor maintenance at home ensure your chair remains safe, reliable, and capable of tackling whatever is in front of you.

Work through these simple mechanical, electrical, and operational checks to protect your investment and preserve its off-road capability.

Wheels & Tyres

  • Check tyre condition and bead fitment regularly.
  • Inflate tyres to the maximum PSI stated on the sidewall for optimal range and handling.
  • Inspect spokes for breakages and verify they are tight.
  • Ensure wheels run true without significant wobble.

Chassis & Moving Parts

  • Visually inspect the carbon monocoque, circlips, and fixings for any damage.
  • Ensure wheel locking is operational and hub carrier pressings are straight.
  • Keep axles clean and lightly greased.
  • Lubricate inside footrest tubes to ensure unhindered telescopic operation.

Electrical System

  • Verify all cable connectors are tight. Pay special attention to wheel connectors to maintain crucial water resistance.
  • Ensure the battery box is fully secure.
  • Inspect motor and clutch levers for any loose fixings.
  • Regularly inspect your battery charger for cable damage.

Suspension & Castor

  • Check the shock absorber for smooth operation and ensure the locking valve lever has free play.
  • Confirm the rear castor is operating smoothly with positive detent pressure.
  • Note: Internal shock absorber greasing and rear castor bearing re-greasing should be handled during your scheduled manufacturer service.

Operational Road Test

Periodically test your GTE in a controlled environment to ensure alignment and power delivery are flawless.

Freewheel Test

While occupied, set the chair on smooth, level ground in freewheel mode. Push forward; the chair should run dead straight. If it pulls to one side, castor adjustment is required.

Power Test

Engage power mode. Test the chair in all speeds and directions to ensure predictable, responsive control from the motors.

Time for a professional tune-up?

While home maintenance keeps you moving, a full Trekinetic Manufacturer Service is required after the first 12 months thereafter.
Our engineers will handle the deep technical work: from resetting camber and internal greasing, to full electronic diagnostics.
