🚲 Bike tires lose air quickly. Tires should feel firm and be filled to the recommended PSI listed on the tire. 

🚲 Worn brake pads should be replaced and your e-bikes battery should be charged. 

🚲 Check chain for signs of rust or corrosion. Remove excess dirt with a clean rag and replace a rusty chain.
