Taking a little time to look after your scooter helps it stay smooth, safe, and reliable for every ride. Follow these simple tips to keep your scooter performing at its best.
🔋 1. Take Care Of The Battery
Charge smart: Top up regularly and let it fully charge now and then.
Avoid extremes: Don’t leave it in very hot or cold conditions for long periods.
Storage tip: If storing your scooter for a while, keep the battery around 50–70% charged and top up every few weeks.
💨 2. Maintain The Tyres
Pressure: Keep tyres at 36 PSI / 2.5 Bar for the best grip and range.
Check for wear: Replace worn or damaged tyres promptly.
Puncture prevention: Use puncture protection fluid to reduce the risk of flats.
🧼 3. Keep It Clean
Wipe down regularly: Use a damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, and grime.
Avoid high-pressure water: Scooters are water-resistant, not waterproof — don’t use a hose or pressure washer.
Dry after rain: If you’ve ridden in wet weather, wipe away moisture from the deck, stem, and charging port before storage or charging.
⚙️ 4. Check Moving Parts
Brakes: Test before each ride and tighten cables if they feel loose.
Bolts and screws: Inspect regularly — especially around the handlebar, stem, and folding mechanism — and tighten if needed (but don’t over tighten).
Suspension (if fitted): Ensure it moves smoothly with no unusual sounds or stiffness.
🧰 5. Regular Maintenance
Weekly check: Give your scooter a quick once-over for loose parts, damage, or unusual noises.
Folding mechanism: Keep it clean and free of grit; apply a small amount of silicone spray if needed for smooth operation.
Brake pads: If your scooter has disc brakes, check the pads for wear and replace when thin.
💡 6. Smart Storage & Handling
Store indoors: Keep your scooter in a dry, room-temperature environment — away from moisture, direct sunlight, or freezing conditions.
Avoid impacts: Ride carefully over bumps, kerbs, and rough terrain to protect components and frame integrity.
Transport safely: If folded, secure it properly when carrying or loading into a vehicle to avoid cable or clip damage.
