1) Does anyone shift gears?
I do, but only use 3 of available 7 gears
2) Should we grease the chain and derailleur? If so, do we just use WD40? Lithium grease?
Lube the chain with any of a gazillion bike chain lubes. Use WD40 to flush dirt, sand ,etc. if present. Dry chain after a WD40 flush, then lube with chain lube. WD40 is not a good lube but is a great flusher. Just keep the deailleur clean. Tooth brush works fine.
3) Do you take the battery off when not using?
Always.
4) Can shocks be adjusted?
Front shocks are adjustible.

On the top of each shock is a adjustment feature. On one side is a way to turn the shock on or off. When on, the shock will operate. When switched to the "off" position, any shock absorbing is disabled. On top of the other shock is an adjustement you rotate one way or the other to either increase or decrease the amount of force needed for the shocks to begin compressiong. Both adjustmnets should be marked as to their function. I keep my DJ mountain bike's "on" all the time and have dialed down the comprssion adjustment. How you adjust it is a personal choice.
Thanks!!
