It is a maintenance-free motor? or how often do we have to lubricate it?

It is depending of the use, if you use it every day the maintenance could be weekly. It you just used it often. Then give it monthly.

Most engines have an assembly lube from the factory. I wouldn't worry about it. Delivery on it's side was certainly not the best thing but it should be OKAY.

3 years for the motor. 2 years for everything else. I doubt you'll need it though. These things are built really well.

Does the oil have to be drained out and replaced periodically? Is it hot to the touch?

We've had it for quite some time now and have had no need to do any major cleaning. Just use good quality oils and you'll be okay.

This motor has been running 6 days a week since we got it, with no troubles. If the RPM is correct for your application, then it would be a good choice

Hi, it has been a few months and i have not had the need to use the lube. Seems to be working like new and i use it quite often and i try to keep it clean. Sorry, i just read the blades part..i don't use the blades from this.

No, it requires no maintenance. It's really amazing that it works so well. I was skeptical when I bought it, but it seriously works! My English Bulldog loves it! The pad gets cool when pressure is applied.

I just recently replaced my motor and have not had any issues so far. My initial motor still works, however, it was the gear box that crapped out .... lasted about five years and begin screeching and grinding (gears wore out ... unfortunately you can't find a kit to just replace the gears). So, I have a backup motor now.

I never have had to use oil, just keep it clean use an air can and spray it clean and spray a little amount of WD40 on all moving parts

Cleaning is so simple. Just wash in warm water with dish soap and a soft cloth - or put in your dishwasher. The motor should not be put in the dishwasher, but can be washed in warm water with dish soap and a cloth, or paper towel or small brush. I've never needed a brush on mine. The small soft silicone cover on the post I just hand wash the same as the motor. The filters are disposable and do not need washing. Rinse all hand washed items very well to remove all traces of soap.

I cannot find any need to oil the pump as it appears to be a completely sealed unit. Have been using for a couple of months without a problem.

I don't recognize the reference to "oil can", and, as far as I can tell, it doesn't need oil. Any O ring has to stay flexible to function fully, and so that may need some level of grease, but I think that if it's used regularly it's unlikely to need attention in normal lifetime.

I purchased mine about two months ago and I have about 8 a 10 hours on it with no motor problems. I did need to replace a prop bearing but I'd say that was very minor given the abuse I have put it through. I can't fly helis worth a damn but the Alias is a pleasure to fly, especially after I tuned it way down to my skill level. Hope this helps.

Change of oil in the first few days after you receive it and regular oil change and basic maintenance every 2-3 months is required. Also, this is a brand new scooter and it is recommended to go very slow for the first few weeks, it is a brand new engine, give it a good break in period.

I've used mine about 70-100 times and still no need to replace. Definitely not single-use!

We only just purchased it this year, so we have had none so far. All I know is that it is an electric motor, so whatever is needed for electric motors might apply here.
