All components of a bicycle (frame, wheels, cranks, handlebars, chain, tires etc.) have a useful life cycle, which depends on many factors such as: the technology and materials used, the weight and power of the cyclist, care and maintenance, how much, how and where they are used, the use of aggressive cleaners, external factors such as strokes, crushing or falls.
The components are subject to normal wear, surface wear, but also to a type of wear called fatigue of the materials, which consists in a progressive separation of the molecular structure that initially appears as an almost invisible micro-fracture and grows with time until to weaken the component to the point that it suddenly yields when the fracture has become large enough. Fatigue is initially barely visible and therefore more insidious; to reduce the risk of suffering an accident, it is necessary to monitor wear and recognize any signs of fatigue before it can cause catastrophic failure.
Any product that is worn or has lost its structural integrity or shows damage or signs of fatigue must be replaced immediately, to reduce the possibility of suffering an accident that could cause serious injury.

TRIS BIKE is conceived and designed for an exclusively urban use. The use of the bicycle in any case involves risks and factors such as poor maintenance, the omission of frequent inspections, poor visibility, darkness or rain can greatly increase these risks. Proper maintenance, frequent inspections, the use of a helmet, high-visibility clothing, lights, rear-view mirrors, horns and prudent driving help to reduce these risks, without eliminating them completely.

Our frames are built to withstand the constant stresses of an urban environment, however an inappropriate use of the bike, and the repeated stresses due to continuous impacts could lead to a deterioration of it. We advise against continuous exposure to bad weather because it could cause malfunctions and frame degradation. Check periodically that there are no problems or cracks in the joints.

We use handlebars that are conceived and designed for a purely urban and non-competitive use. The right maintenance and use of the product will extend its life. Make sure periodically that the handlebar is anchored with the right tension to its attachment, checking the tightness of the fixing screws. Incorrect positioning or fixing could cause the handlebar to become detached from the steering tube or to move incorrectly during use.

Our saddles are conceived and designed for an exclusively urban use. Even if equipped with water-repellent treatments, waterproofing is not guaranteed, and it is therefore advisable not to expose them to bad weather for long periods.

The motors we use are conceived and designed for an exclusively urban and non-competitive use, we advise against the use off road or extreme activities such as jumps, descents on uneven paths or similar. Motors are designed to withstand rain and direct water but are not resistant to high-pressure jets, especially in the bearing area. Similarly, long exposure to the elements is not recommended or guaranteed.
