Numerous manufacturers are venturing into the three-wheeler space due to its demand in India. After all, our country depends on three-wheeled rickshaws and cargo haulage-based three-wheelers for intra-city transportation.
However, to facilitate efficient transportation, three-wheeler brands need to provide low-maintenance based vehicles. Therefore, brands are always in the search for newer and better technology for offering a reduction in service costs and conducting scheduled services.
Nonetheless, we can state in confidence that the three-wheeler's success in the country is all thanks to its robust and efficient powertrain accompanied by regular maintenance/service. It enhances the fleet owners' and operators' overall profitability.
So, despite three-wheeled vehicles being a workhorse that benefits their customers in our country, like every other machine, three-wheelers also need to be serviced to keep them in perfect condition. This will enable smooth operation during the trip time, to gain maximum profits.
It is important for owners to check the engine oil level by removing the dipstick. If the engine oil level is lower than the recommended level, make sure to top up. In case the vehicle has reached the point wherein it needs an oil change, then use the OEM spec engine oil for utmost efficiency and smooth power delivery.
Always remember to drive slow for better engine life. Do remember to warm up the engine by driving initially at 35kmph before increasing speed. This will ensure the longevity of the engine and transmission components.
Next on the list is to check the tyre pressure before heading out. Low tyre pressure will increase friction and rolling resistance which will affect the performance negatively. The tyres will have a shorter lifespan costing you a heavy amount to change them.
Like every other component of a three-wheeler, it is important to check the braking system to enable an optimum level of braking performance. Therefore, you need to check the brake pads, brake liners and the whole system to see if there is air in it which can reduce the braking performance.
