Keep reading to learn how to maintain your model like a pro.
Keep your Battery Charged
Your electric scooter’s battery needs to stay juiced up so that you can use your model without the worry of slowing down, or worse, switching off when you’re least expecting it. The good news is that keeping your scooter charged is simply a habit. Build battery-charging sessions into your weekly routine, and you can head out on your rides with every confidence that your scooter will stick with you through every twist and turn. As an extra plus, this mindful step will also help prolong your battery’s lifespan, so you won’t find yourself needing to run out for a replacement any time soon.
Get Savvy with Storage
One of the best ways to tackle electric scooter maintenance is to prevent any avoidable damage in the first place. As a great start, you can make sure to store your scooter in a safe, secure place. Choose a location that is away from direct sunlight and where the temperature stays steady. Any extreme light exposure or temperature jumps can cause damage to your model’s frame and the battery, so this step really is essential. If you’re using your electric scooter for running errands, school runs, or commutes, make sure you store it inside whenever possible. This reduces avoidable wear and tear, which can lead to corrosion or decreased performance.
Check the Pressure
Make sure to check your tyre pressure before you hit the road – this helps you take speed to the max, without the motor tax. A simple bike tyre gauge will do the trick; again, this step is simply a habit to get into. While you check your pressure, you can also take a look to see if you have any cracks or deep splits in the tyre, which can flag damage that needs a little professional attention. The better condition your wheels are in, the more safety and joy you’ll experience when you’re out on your ride.
