Looking After Your Pure Scooter

Key tips for making sure your scooter is properly maintained for best performance.

Updated this week

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.
