Electric scooter maintenance tips

A professional mechanic is not a bogeyman (at least in most cases), and we don't want to tell you to run from him. However, there are many things you can do yourself to postpone a visit to the mechanic until major problems arise.

Before you jump on the hammer, here's what you need to know about maintenance: It's not just about maintaining your scooter, it's also about learning and connecting with the ride itself.

Here are some quick tips:

Charge it regularly
keep it clean
Avoid driving in the rain
check spare parts
check screws
How to maintain electric scooter tires
tire pressure
First of all, the right pressure is crucial if you want to optimize your riding style and technique. I like to go as fast and as far as I can, so I have to inflate the tires as much as the manufacturer allows, right?Not exactly.

Check the recommended pressure of your tires, never exceed the maximum pressure allowed by the manufacturer.

pressure lower than recommended, consequences:

Your speed is slower
increased risk of tire damage
less rolling resistance
Your battery is draining faster
uneven tire wear
While higher pressure increases the probability:

explodes while driving
the ride becomes extremely uncomfortable
turning is less safe
uneven tire wear
How to maintain electric scooter batteries
Along with the motor and wheels, the battery is an essential part of your electric scooter. If you replace it, be careful not to be persuaded into buying a stronger one than the old one.

All batteries, not just those in electric scooters, have a number of cycles that represent their useful life.Some have 300, some 1000, some more, some less.

The most important thing is that we know how to take care of the battery in order to use its full potential properly. If we don't take the following steps, we'll waste a certain percentage of those charge cycles.

You can extend the battery life of your electric scooter by following these golden rules:

Keep it in places with temperatures above 0 degrees
You must ensure that the charger is original and set to your battery voltage
When the battery is full, unplug it
Charge after cooling down (do not start charging immediately after driving)
Don't let your battery run out completely
If this happens, charge it as soon as possible (after it cools down)
If you don't use your scooter for a long time, install an extra battery charger. (Charge the battery to the maximum, and then monitor the charging process by preventing the battery from being overcharged.)
Leaving the battery discharged for more than a few hours can oxidize the battery internally and shorten battery life.
