Maintenance
The frame includes the main frame with suspension and steering mechanism,
boom and back end. It is essential to the integrity of your trike.
Regular checks and maintenance are important to keep it reliable and usable for
many years to come.
Inspect the frame for damage before each ride.
Scratches, cracks, dents or deformation are signs of damage. If any part of the
frame shows signs of damage, do not ride your trike. Ask your dealer for advice
on whether to replace the damaged parts.
The frame needs no special maintenance, other than keeping it clean.
The recommendation is to clean it after every use.
All the Steintrikes tricycle frames are made from high quality corrosion resistant
steel and are protected with a thin layer of protective wax from inside.
Important!: The steel frames are NOT rustproof and will eventually corrode if
you don’t take proper care.
If the trike has been subjected to excessive moist, rain, snow or mud, some of it
might protrude into the internal section of the frame.
Accumulated dirt on movable parts can also cause premature wear (acting as as a
sanding paper) and is also
hygroscopic (tending to absorb moisture from the air,
thus causing corrosion) Keeping your trike clean is the best thing you can do for it.
Do not use high pressure washers to clean your trike! That will remove the
special lubricant in the suspension system and will cause premature wear of
the moving parts and damage.
TIP: The simplest way to get rid of unwanted water from the inside of the frame
is to lock the front brakes, remove the boom and lift the rear wheel until the front
end of the trike is facing down. You can place something under the rear wheel
until the water drains out. Use a brake cleaner to get rid of any trace of dirt from
both inside the frame, plastic sleeve and boom. Reinstall the boom. Remove the
masking tape.
TIP: Before removing the boom, use self adhesive (masking) tape around the
boom right next to the plastic sleeve as a mark where the boom should be
returned to avoid any need for adjustment.
