To perform this project, you will need a couple of tools, such as the 6mm Allen key or a 15mm pedal spanner. Use those tools to remove the right pedal first.
Make sure to hold the pedal steady. If you need someone to help you, now's the time to ask. You will place the tool close to the floor, and then push the pedal towards the back of the bike to get it off.
Do the same thing to the left pedal. Once they're off, you can put them back on by using the same process to get the pedals off. Except for this time, complete the previous steps in reverse.
Make sure the pedals are tight once you put them on. Check them after a couple of days has passed to see if the bike would be ready to ride.

This is a two-person job. While you unscrew the back lever, someone has to hold the saddle so it won't fall.

Yes. When you receive your Wattbike, you will see two saddles. One is a racing saddle, and the other one is a comfort saddle. You can choose to put any one of those on your Wattbike.

Next, you will remove all the tools that are in the saddle. You should see the 14mm nuts, the locking bolt, and the outer plates fall in your hands.
Roll the inner plates away from the clamp and remove the center of the clamp from inside the saddle rails. To put your new saddle on, reverse the process.

It doesn't require that much maintenance. Once you're done using it for the day, use a rag and clean it with the Muc-off Care Pack product. Be sure to wipe everything down but use the spray only on the rag.
