It is not a problem removing the wheels. Just have to be careful not to damage the pickup or the wiring....

Not worse than that being a bit careful with the braking lines ;-)

I've never read the user manual for mine ;-) But i guess that it also states that you need to go the workshop to have the tires replaced and or the brakepads changes.

The only "difficult" thing about removing the wheels is taking the front one off. You will need a 14mm hex for that which is not that common in a home garage. The first time i borrowed one from a neighbor which is a farmer. Tractors tempt to use bigger bolt&nuts .

But when the chain and sprockets are worn you suspension linkage will almost 100% surely also need some service. So you might consider buying and endless chain and grease alle the linkages pivot axels at the same time
